    Worldpay or First data ??

    I haveCryptopay / First Data. Happy with them but can't really give you any comparisons vis a vis World Pay / Word pay. I do use othe rprocessors at other locations. All in last month fees ran about 6%. This is higher than other locations but since this is the only SS I can only guess it's due...

    Microfiber towels

    I admire those of you who can find time and seemingly boundless energy to market and maintain their places. I feel like a slug. Stuff I never would seem to have the energy for like replacing, Vac Motor Brushes, rebuilding pumps, Shopping for (or do you just order and have them shipped?)...

    Dropping merchant fees?

    Perhaps why the gas stations got two more years to comply. I was quoted $3500.00 per each 2 sided dispenser to upgrade at this time. I decided to wait.

    Dropping merchant fees?

    Your premise is untenable based upon the BS they have been giving which goes something like "After 10/1 the responsibility for fraudulent Charges shifts to the merchant" They already do all they can to shift it. At my gas station I run over 3000 transactions a month. Almost once a month I get...

    My predicament with Credit Cards

    Gas stations have 2 more years to comply with pay at the pump so the stripes should be around at least that long. I would expect whatever timers you upgrade to most systems could use those so that part of the investment will not be lost.

    Single vac booms

    I don't think the plastic hose material is a s much of a hazard as the small amount of environmental grit that will accumulate on the surface of the hose and car.

    Grace for Vets

    Great idea to give vets a free wash 11/11 and active duty personnel as well. Is there a way to monitor the veracity of the customer (ID card or something they would have), and how about employee accountability. For example 100 vets / active duty personnel come (out of 250 washes,) and at...

    Future of Car wash

    I disagree as much with RR as anyone (Sometimes I get worried if we agree:) yet I am glad he expresses his opinions. This is a place for people to express opinions and for readers to weigh the various viewpoints. As someone once said "If 2 people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.

    Phase 1 Environmental

    I beg to differ. This is one of many points of negotiation. Have done deals where Seller pay, Buyer pays, they split the cost, Buyer pays but if there is a potential issue and deal fails Seller will then need it for the next deal and pays half and gets it.

    Phase 1 Environmental

    Phase 1 is a historical analysis to see if their might be a problem. If their might be one then a phase 2 is needed. HAd an idiot banker say at the last minute they needed a phase one. I had already given him one along with the phase 2. remediation plan and an NFR letter. It was an active...

    DRB Tunnel Watch and door controls

    I for one like my doors to be as fool proof as possible. The best method I have found is floor pad(s). I space one before the door and one just to the outside with the back edge just in front of where the door closes. The one before the door gives it enough time to open and if the car is in...

    How do you clean closed cell foam brushes?

    You need to make sure the brown is on and not in the brush. I found that on some foam it seemed as though the color came off leaving whatever the natural color was. Scrape the surface and see if the Brown comes off. If it does a bleach or algaecide solution for swimming pools might work. Let...
