If you do the math the break even is probably at 35,000 cars washed assuming a sewer and water cost of 3 cents a gallon and a reclaimed water usage of 30 gal per car. For some that is one year or less of business, for others it represents multiple years of business.

with Hamilton GL and the swiper style cc reader we have several processor options. For vacuums and in bays we use CryptoPay u til we find a solid alternative solution. We have looked at PayRange, Monex and Nayax. Not much better than CryptoPay so we stay the course until a true alt is available.

Friction vs TF varies by area, significantly. We have New Razor V4 next to an Istobal M22. Our split is 65:35 favoring the TF. Now the Razor has a better show and more bells/whistles but many people chose that machine since it does not touch the car. The older the car the more likely the...

We use Hog Daddy. They seem to last a long time

So I called FIS WorldPay and spoke to someone (useless) there in customer service. After viewing my statement and the issues I pointed out to them for 20 minutes they said I had to talk to Billing and they would transfer me to them. No one picked up the phone for their operator or for me after...

How did you mount and power a Lorex on your Arch? That's impressive, please share your creative insights.....

That is what we are finding. We have experimented with some scents via a dual port injector. Does not move the needle. the best result so far has been to inject fragrance with the undercarriage. Hits the hot parts of the car and is not competing with another chemical.

The KR bug master has a citrus scent. We use with our Hi PH.

I am sticking with pre soak as it works. Trying to find something to add to it for scent, ideally a Hi PH to boost the pre soak too

I have duel injectors for my LP1 & LP2 functions on my Razor. Looking for a good Hi PH pre soak product that has a nice fragrance to add to my Hi PH pass. The standalone cherry fragrances are $150/gal so I might as well boost the Hi PH pass with a second Hi PH product that has a strong...

When we had a broken water main underground you would see a large wet area when it was dry for weeks. It allowed us to isolate the crack to a 10' section but was still expensive to dig up and repair. Hopefully you have some building plans to know where the line is located, otherwise contact...

Yes. On Ave Europe adds $2.5 per gal and we add about $0.35/gal. Point was that Europe did not collapse with high prices and we are more resilient (in general). The higher prices are due to OPEC and from the lower overall supply as we embargo Russian oil. Getting back to car washing (since...

Wondering if the stock market crash will encourage more 65+ people to get a part time gig. May be the only benefit for us as operators and owners.

Clearly no one here has ever traveled outside the USA where gas and diesel prices are $5-$8 / gal before the recent war gave the Arabs an easy way to stick it to America for complaining about the butchering of a journalist. Europe has always paid 50-100% more for gas than us. It will pass when...

My first lesson when becoming a software engineer, when in doubt or trouble reboot. Granted that was many moons ago.

Ah that makes sense now as we have the DAN with HS. For a club solution you can look at EverWash. No hardware costs and fairly easy to install. You will pay about 10-15% for their service fees plus a slightly inflated CC processing fee. The system has pros & cons like any other solution...

So I checked. The answer depends on the top level credit card processor, not the machine. With the chip reader credit card machine the only processor available is WorldPay as Hamilton made a deal with WP for that hardware. They bundle the EXACT fees into their fees. When we tested the chip...

We use the Hamilton APP. Only thing we needed to add to our goldlines were scanners which was easy (other than drilling through stainless steel). We love the app. Not perfect for sure but very nice. I have total control of the app, can push messages to our 500+ users, and use it for...

Have you checked that you are not being charged E-XACT fees too? They never showed up on the WP statement but we saw them on our bank account statement. Our WP fees were 4.5% to 7.5% in our short use of them on our Goldlines.

Who did you call to get the fees refunded. I am getting the run around as I try to do the same. Thx
