Anyone have info on the new Dencar eco-10?

Looks like they are releasing a new pay station the eco-10 for $20k. It will have a smaller screen at 10 inches and a smaller bill breaker. Does anyone know anything else about this unit? Is it just a more affordable version of the S2?

It will likely be much smaller than an S2 and have the smaller bill recyclers.

Do you really need to take cash? the EP13 is a great option if you don't.

Absolutely in our area we're 44% cash.

Ok. But as membership increases (if this is your plan) cash utilization drops off. I had a site with 30%+ cash use on the auto bays drop to less than 8% 1 year into memberships...

My take is at least half of those 8% have access to a non cash options they could use.

I have another site that is now under 3% Cash utilization. At that rate cash is just a liability and a opportunity for criminals to destroy your equipment. Are any of you not aware of the current insurance market for car washes?


If your pay station is destroyed during a break in. You will likely be down 2-4 weeks...How much lost revenue is the ability to take cash worth?
