For Car Wash operators who think times are tough with CC charges eating into margins, talk with gasoline retailers and you'll feel like you are living high on the hog. I think the Google wallet type concept as a replacement for plastic will be huge. The ability to load multiple cards into one...

Yep, hre's my setup. http://youtu.be/HPBxcHLP3mg Bought 4 boxes after an ICA show. Within a Month I bought 4 more. Added box heaters to them.

I added a seperate Bill acceptor box so I did not need to change the box. I am pretty sure you could simply change the rotary switch from an 8 to a 10as long as you have or can pull wire with enough conectors. . This might save a lot of work and expense. Having the seperate Box may or may...

Curious. What will new meter boxes give you that you do not have now. In otehr words what will justify the cost?

If I wanted a hands on labor intensive business I would be a lawyer instead of in the SS business:) I know that it seemed like a short time of Bill acceptor use that my quarter usage dropped by 50%. (No signs except for what is on the seperate box but there are flashing lights as well.)...

Ask her how often she writes a check. Another eye opener.

Post the video on You tube. Post photos around your place.

FWIW we had lots of issues with CC over the phone at one location . (Not a Blue Pay System) Nothing solved it . Because I got the Cryptopay we had to go the internet route. Issue resolved. Can you try that?

Just noticed my report gives me 2 "Batches" One for the daily Tunnel Charges and one for the cryptopay. Report is already 15 pages long with detail on what the expenses are. Their on line receipt program is $15.00 / month.

FWIW. I use Cryptopay thru First Data. Did not get an August report. Called the yesterday and was told it went out on 9/2 (Sunday???) Anyway it came via e-mail later that day. Can't help but wonder if the Holiday weekend caused some delay.

FWIW. First month, August, not a good month overall 4 Bays with Cryptopay $370.00 in receipts. These are the first 4 Bays and typicaly the busiest. I would expect things to get better as washing weather and familiarity improves. No way to tell if it's new $ or people replacing cash with...

Just had the regular numb Nuts Prie open the 3/8" eye bolts. On to plan B!

Did not do it. So far - 1 month no one has requested a receipt.

Curious. Just had a Flapan one fail but it's been several years. Car volume would be more important that calender time in determining wear. A wash may do 100,000 - 500,000 cars or more in 2 years. Have tried the sprocket solution. It works. I think the drum allows a little side to side...

We use the back of the grocery register receipts coupons thru Dominicks and Jewel. Best return of any coupon. Offer is free sealer wax or $1.00 off any wash package.

Sounds like my National Pride Vac bags. Just got some from them. The flexible bag ring sits between a ring inside the tank and some sections of ring just below that ring. http://www.nationalpridecarwash.com/products/vba-40-filter-bag

OK, so I want to see how my Cryptopay is doing. But I have an 8 bay with tunnel. The Tunnel and Cryptopay both clear thru Firstdata so the charges are combined in one statement. Now, I can take all my tunnel daily CC summaries, add them together for a month and deduct from total charges to...

Probably while patronizing other businesses or visiting other car wash locations. I just steal their ideas. Have to say got plentty here and from industry mags. Also reading other stuff and applying it to the wash business.

I am trying something new now. Some vacs are harder to secure than others. Have had morons break stuff when they were padlocked. What I am trying now is a 3/8" Nut with nylon lock nut instead of a padlock thru the holes. You really need some hand tools to loosen it. The Nimrods don't usualy...

Even with inside bolts, mess up the threads when you finish. This will at least prevent them from just unscrewing them.
