    Vacuum Question

    Teebox, Have a tunnel with 6 Cobos and 5 regulars. Got a deal on a 7th combo so said what the heck. It does double what the regular vacs do. So, if funds are available I'd go with all combos. A lot can depend on your layout. MY preferred layout when I have room is 2 islands seperated...

    Self Serve Customers are driving me to drink

    Steve, hope you have goodluck with their insurance recovering property damage and lost income. Have had some pull all sorts of BS including reducing claims for "depreciation" of equipment, when all I did was replace parts to repair and only asked them to pay for parts.

    Vacuum Question

    Not a comment on your specific model, but if I were to buy new vacs I would strongly consider: 1. Combo Shampoo / Fragrance 2. Bill Acceptor 3. Ability to add credit card. Some years ago before cc was as easy as it is now, I paid about $1000 extra for the Coleman Bill acceptor upgrade. Was...

    New cc chips? How will this affect cryptopay?

    Sorry, but I disagree. The Fraud units protect the cardholder and Visa / MC. Not the merchant. As an aside , recently I had a fraud claim and In response to their request I sent a batch report showing it was pay at the pump. Purportedly this will have them hold in my favor but that is what I...

    CARNIVAL - Does it Increase Volume?

    No doubt customers love foam. Decades ago a customer said "I did not get soap" (There was soap but no foam because air injection was not working) I asked "Is the car clean?" to which he replied "What difference does that make?". So foam isimportant. I got lots of comments when I put in new...

    Standard Response for Bugs

    Similar. Will re wash immediately for no charge. I explain that certain issues, Cooked on Bugs, Bird Poop, Tree Sap, Eggs, road tar require extra time and harsher solutions not suited for the automatic wash environment. These special solutions are available in my vending machine and they are...

    DRB SYSTEMS VS. ICS and MICROLOGIC

    I suggest you contact legal counsel to see about at least gettin your money back for the ICS system. Your state should have "Lemon LAws" or laws involving "warranty of Merchantability" which allow for this and include a provison to pay your attorney fees. Just have good records of each and...

    Monthly unlimited

    Anyone exclude certain types of vehicles or have a different pricing structure for them? For example, in Chicago I could see taxis washing daily or even more often. In some areas near airports I could see limos doing the same.

    New cc chips? How will this affect cryptopay?

    I would say the 300k figure is either BS or for some reason I am way above that at the Gas Station. Keep in mind the SS wash may get 1-2 Thousand CC Swipes a month, and a gas station may be double that. About 10 times a year I get a chargeback claiming fraudulent card use and asking for a...

    Monthly unlimited

    If the base price is $3.00 the math is simple 3.333 Times a month and it's the same as the retail basic wash. As with many things the biggest hurdle is getting people in the door. Once that is done and heaven forbid demand exceeds supply ;) the price can always be raised to regulate demand...

    The solution to the problem is simple . I have seen it with a very low price to build volume and then the price is ismply raised as demand and capacity dictates.

    New cc chips? How will this affect cryptopay?

    Spoke to my Gas Station equip supplier. Says the software for the POS needs to be updated but the readers at the pump have 2 years to be done. Perhaps this is because those readers go thru the POS before they go out to the network.

    POS Upgrade Alternatives

    To back up a minute. Depending on your model you can run simple POS system like the older DRB or Datatrax. However, to be sure they do not seem to have the future adaptability of the more modern system. So, I do not neccessarily advocate going datatrax at this time. Just wanted to point...
