When I got cryprtopay a few years ago they said I had a choice of First Data and one other. Perhaps World pay. Maybe it's changed.

How the heck did they pin point the source of the infection?

When you are in the car, being a customer who knows nothing about the wash it is certainly scary. However, IMO it seems a little over the top. It looks like the wrap around brush "Climbed" on top of the car. (Nothing "fell" on the car. ) I have had this happen at my wash and l know it has...

Thank you but I believe that is the old Paraplate since the new ones don't have a jumper.

HAve Crypto in SS with Cocast internet and First Data. Initially it was not compliant for whatever reason but now it passes.

For some the place may be worth more than FMV, As suggested, a local competitor may value it more than a stranger because operating locations in close proximity offers certain efficiencies. Another local business may be able to take advantage of similar efficiencies. Is there a local Chamber...

I have a multi compartment SS Tank that looks like walls were welded inside to make compartments for rinse, wax, etc. Seems some welds are now leaking causing fresh water to dilute wax and wax to get into the rinse. Any recommendations for a putty / sealer that would seal the welded seems -...

Flo jet - Viton is worth a try for simplest change out. Make sure there is an in line air filter before the pump.

Tommy's stuff is made by AVW. I have lots of AVW in 3 Tunnels and one Tunnel That was sonny's friction Equipment. AVW Stainless IMO is easier to keep looking nice than Aluminum or powder coat. The AVW mittters are simple and quieter than the Sonny's 901s.901s maybe more effective at...

The party line among the Chicago area EE operators is that they do not see a price raise in sight. I heard one guy wishes he started at $4.00. Time will tell if they build volume to a point where they feel comfortable with a price raise. Chicago is implementing a water / sewer tax which will...

Discussion was about the growth of the $3.00 wash and what the realistic up sell is. So far one elephant in the room is ignored, and I am sure the answers are out there you just need to see which you believe. The elephant is the monthly washes. If a $3.00 prices it at $15.00 are the...

There are Walmart shoppers and there are Nordstrom Shoppers. Both business models have merit. Whether either or both can be successful in any given market is the all important question. There is a reason numerous higher price washes converted to low price EE. A Local operator has now...

Did a work around and got in: "Can anybody turn a profit washing cars for $3, or even $4? Entrepreneurs seem to think so, as they rush to build big discount auto cleaning facilities in and around Chicago. .................................................. Nevertheless, some experts warn that...

No, that was not the quote. My post # 2 was; "Bob Roman, a car wash consultant in Clearwater, Fla., estimates that the best facilities wash 100,000 cars a year or more and gross $1 million." It was a copy and paste. Can No longer log in so the larger context may have been possible for a...

Well, there is. You put up a giant sign that says $3.00 and people like me who started charging $3.50 a few years ago are undercut. But mine is not a "Light Wash" . So they try the light wash, see if they like it and if they do, and it's worthwhile for them to save 50 cents and get the free...

At the end of the day what matters is making money. Many businesses entice customers with the lowest price option and then try to upsell. If the customer is not happy with the lowest price option they may or may not try the next price point next time.

A. Will existing wiring and breakers handle the 3 motors? B. What is the anticipated cost / aggravation factor for the upgrade?
