    A little bit of humor to start or end your day

    I didn't want to initially say that but yeah, you could get away with that in Cali (very few CCWs) but it might have ended badly elsewhere. The prank idea was clever but they were extremely aggressive toward the car wash customers.

    Vacuum not sucking

    Sometimes all the motors appear to be working because they are all spinning but one may be dead and going backwards from suction. Look carefully on startup to verify direction or put a clamp on multi meter on each motor hot lead to verify it is pulling amps. If it's not a dead motor then it's...

    New Petit install & having HELL!! Need some help

    Yes you can limit them to whatever you want which is nice. We went to a Petit the other day that has been open about two months now and it was awful. I know I'm going to sound like "one of those" Google reviewers but it really was dirtier afterwards. It looked like it didn't clean well, applied...

    Increase to $3 to start

    We have been at $3 start for several years and have a competitor that is still at $1.50 and we do well against them. I can't wrap my mind around how they are willing to stay that low with all the cost increases in the last few years.

    tire and engine cleaner leaking out the gun in my SS bays

    Just make sure all your transformers are in phase with each other. I tried to hook up a foam brush system this way and it didn't work. Because my transformers were out of phase I had to use relays and separate commons. Later I found out that it would have been easier to fix my out of phase issue...

    New Petit install & having HELL!! Need some help

    I can't help but want to know what the blue and red stripes are made of on the building. They don't look like the white painted stripe.

    Awning For Pay Station - TSS vs Premier

    Yes they are but I doubt they could make one for $2,500 engineered for 130 MPH with all the waterproof lights and signage. The top is all aluminum and has a baked enamel finish.

    Diskin Air Shammee II

    The Air Shammee II is the three phase version and they have crazy output after installing an Air Logic nozzle. Have you checked the inlet screen on the blower housing? If there is debris in there it will majorly reduce the output. Is the wiring done correctly inside the junction box on the motor?

    Awning For Pay Station - TSS vs Premier

    I was told that Premier no longer offers the arched top. TSS told us 4 weeks delivery. They get expensive when you add the lit sign options, all the covers, shipping and tax. About $11K for ours but is also extended height.

    Looking for concrete/floor heat information

    Have you ever replaced the floor on a wash with a monolithic slab foundation?

    CryptoPay Set Up/ Worldpay

    They deposit every business day and I don't remember if there was an option to change that. Why would you want to wait all that time to get paid though?

    Yes. Cryptopay. On Nayax if someone "swiped" a second time would it show an additional pre-auth on their account? If so then that may seriously aggravate customers. Maybe it settles the transaction right away but that would not allow combined tickets on our end to save on processing fees.

    Underserved Markets

    I have heard that too about a large-ish chain in central Ohio but I don't understand this business tactic.

    Sales drop - is this why?

    Not in Ohio. $3.29 for gas and $4.49 for diesel. I'm sure all that extra money you are paying is being put to good use.

    Shutting off card reader

    Oh yeah, we have many that go over that amount but the vast majority are way below. We have lowered ours to only $5 and still people complain about it charging that when they only used one $2 vac cycle. Higher income areas may not have as many issues with that higher pre auth as they don't watch...

    What about "Neutral"?

    The max per swipe on each swiper is different than the pre auth which is site wide.

    Underserved Markets

    Does your town support a much larger area than the city limits? That may make a difference. The rural towns have a lot more services than could normally be supported with only it's own population. There's a rural Ohio 14K pop town that has multiple SS washes, in bays and now two EEs.

    A $20 pre auth? I could not imagine the amount of bad Google reviews if we did that.

    Need opinion on potential S/S purchase from the pros

    Seems reasonable on the surface but like Mep said many variables to look at. Thoroughly check the income. Do the expenses include labor? How is it ran? Could you run it better therefore increasing income or is it pretty well topped out? Are there already express exterior washes nearby?
