Most if not all the self service washes that are for sale still operate like its 2001. No card readers and no vending. With cred carf readers being more advanced now with self serve, I think regardless of how crappy the wash, with a little paint and a lot of TLC, we could keep these alive in...

Without posting which car washes are for sale, I'm seeing quite a few self service washes that are for sale in and around DFW. I'm in the market for more locations and this amazed me when I saw this. I'm well aware tunnel washes are becoming the new normal around suburbs and inner city, but...

I've heard of people stealing grates to make BBQ pits. Pretty nasty if you ask me but interesting.

After what seemed like weeks of uncertainty, our WashPay system is finally working. Unitec suggested that we assign static IP's for the WSII's. Ever since we did this inside of our NETGEAR RP614 V.4 router, this seems to be working. We'll see in the coming days if it holds up. Today was a...

Hey bigleo, I just sent you an email. I'd rather you email me at my personal e-mail address so I can send you pictures of what I'm talking about. Unitec said they were sending out an update to the software in two weeks. The system is sending out "fault" and "offline" messages. We're not...

Bigleo, we had a company come out and do our cabling. I used to be a network op tech for at&t. I know what you mean by the quality of crimps. The problem in our cables ended up being in the patch panel installed next to our switch. The network tech didn't punch down a couple pairs in the back...

We're connecting to the server directly using one of our static IP's. We have the server to reboot every night at 3am. I hope they get it handled. I think the software and system is great! I just wish it was more stable. To compensate, we've been processing credit cards on our phones using...

The devices in the bays sometimes gives us faults. When we press "Refresh" in the summary section, they come back to "Idle". Last night we had unitec setup our Cisco VPN router to log in remotely. We were able to do this until this morning. We ran Cat6 cable throughout the wash. Today we had...

Yes, I have been there when it happens. We just got it installed the other day. The site server ran fine for several hours. Unitec issued us a brand new server that hasn't even come out yet. It comes with a very nice solid state drive. The other day while on the phone with tech support, they...

Just wondering if anyone else with WashPay had problems with the install? We just got both automatics, 5 out of 6 of our SS bays, and still waiting to get our dog wash installed. The online system is a HUGE improvement from our old system. However, the problems we're experiencing is that our...

In my opinion Facebook is a great way to promote anything to everyone. Just keep in mind that Facebook can also work against you, fast. I'm apart of the age group that started with Facebook (24 years old). Facebook started out as a "college only" audience. It WAS great. A way for me to connect...

Mac, I feel your pain........ Two weeks ago we took a direct hit. I even caught the bolt on camera. I'll have to show you sometime. Took out 5 of our 16 cameras, DVR, cables to the DVR, Coin acceptor board in WSII, coin acceptor in the WSII, and several other electronic devices. I'm so glad...

We're needing some upgrades to our WSII's but can't make out 1 of the machines serial number. Unitec put a small white sticker on the top left corner inside the WSII. It's four numbers. Is there another place within the WSII I can see what the serial # is? Does anyone know if the serial...

Hmmm... where would we all be without the forum. Bill has a better idea than my "caveman" like fix.

Well..... I have a video of me and my boss cleaning the actual tubes. I'll see if I can't send you the video. Or I'll post it to youtube. The tubes the actual product comes out of on both sides of the gantry. You'll need to get up into the gantry to take off the ends of the tubes. It's a bit...
