    credit card problem with wash selectII

    It was from a nurse at a local doctors office, who was checking on a male paitent who had recently had a heart cath. Needless to say, she had the wrong number, but at least I was only down a few hours and the weather wasn't that great during that time. Hopefully, his heart cath went better...

    credit card problem with wash selectII

    Well, turns out that it wasn't a problem with the Wash Select II. My phone line is not supposed to have voice mail on it, but somehow someone was able to call and leave a message. If you unplugged the phone line going to the Wash Select II and plugged in a phone, I would get a series of beeps...

    credit card problem with wash selectII

    All, my Wash SelectII is not accepting credit cards and I'm getting 2 different messages. 1) Bad Card Read and 2) Declined Network Error N. My attendant called about the problem, so I haven't been to the wash to check myself. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem? Scott

    What is the dumbest business decision you made at your SS wash?

    It doesn?t take a lot of skill or knowledge to get into the SS car wash business. Unfortunately, that statement is true, but it does take alot of both to run a successful wash!

    Flow-jet pump problem

    For my tire cleaner, I use the pump with Viton seals (brown instead of black). Jim, are you saying that the "pump" is brown instead of black? Every flojet that I have used, has always been black and the sticker on top indicated whether it had viton or santoprene seals. Thanks for any info...

    I used to work for a company that serviced this particular car wash several years ago. The original owner also owned the laundromat and a motel across the street. With the value of land in this area, he definately had a monoply on car washing. This wash wouldn't last a month in a very...

    Giving away the farm???

    Pat, please give my condolences to Mary. It's been a while since I was in Gatlinburg, but the last time I was there, there was a laundromat beside the car wash. If your ever in the Bristol area, give me a shout and I'll give you a free car wash.

    Giving away the farm???

    Pat, I know exactly the car wash your talking about and it is the only one in Gatlinburg. You would have to drive back down to Pigeon Forge to find the nearest car wash and you can bet with the property value like it is in Gatlinburg, there won't be another car wash built there. I can't...
