    $1 per minute seems fair to me!!!

    They must have that all elusive inflation free $ and the even more elusive non-increasing costs on utilities, supplies, and other costs

    Good deal, glad you are back up and running on both changers. With how important the changers are, we basically have the parts to rebuild all of our changers through tested good used parts acquired over the last couple years.

    $3 for 4 mins is working well for us in Atlanta, probably do $3 for 3 mins or $4 for 4 mins in January. We have fragramatics at $2 for 5 mins vac, 1 min fragrance, or 3 mins shampoo. Increasing the start price to $2 got rid of a lot of the riff raff and less desirable customers.

    Don't know what the fast flash means. I have a used spare if you need it.

    Wash Financing

    If you have real estate as collateral, a small, local bank maybe your best bet. You may have to try a few to get a loan, but it should work. You are in a pretty good position by having Real estate to use as collateral. Maybe even seek the services of a local commercial loan broker.

    Microcoin acceptors

    Is the coin path clean? And when you program tokens, how many do you run through there? I do 25-30 or so, different tokens, to give a big sample size, that works for us.

    Microcoin acceptors

    If anyone comes back to this, I purchased some from NCS, it is the whole kit - frame, insert, and val unit. Looks like NCS is the main distributor in USA now after they bought out Hi-Pressure Systems.

    Kleen-Rite vs Amazon

    We used the mosmatic at the gun, so wear and tear would be higher, but we have been getting longer life out of other brands of cheaper swivels in the same or busier bays, not worth the premium IMO. This is a sample size of 1, so probably not a fair assessment either. Those are the SMC ones that...

    Kleen-Rite vs Amazon

    I thought I was the only one that had this issue. Kleenrite and fluid controls brands of the same style - the ball bearing swivel. We never had this issue with the older ones. May try the smc ones next, one of the washes we bought came with some of them and they seem to work good and no leaks so...

    That'll definitely get you in the ballpark, but not accurate enough for myself. I understand it's much easier and quicker to do it that way, but we have to separate coins anyways, so doesn't take much longer to count them

    How did you get an accurate gross revenue if you never counted your coins?
