Mattwash----are you using the Monex cellular modem or do you have your readers CAT5 wired to your ISP? Just wondering if you may be losing Cell/Wifi signal to readers.

Yes i do, but not trying to promote product---just giving out information that may not be known to newcomer to the industry. I try to leave the promoting or non-promoting of products to rest of forum discussions. I will try better to interject info/opinion regarding other topics/threads...

If you need to track attendant or other user, the IDX Wicket card system allows for that. The cards can be programmed by owner like Prepay Gift or Fleet Post bill card accounts and the cards shows time stamps for usage. The cards can be used in conjuction with their credit card system or...

You can also pull your service function information online by using lighted push button and GT200 timer controls from IDX. IF you have other maunfucture meter equipment, you can still pull the function information and any other input like changer door open, lighting, temperature, etc. with...

The IDX display timers will also do Count-Up for credit cards.

That was our understanding as well until we received the units for testing. I wish I have taken photo of the box and instructions for reference. The VPOS Touch may have been updated since we had one. It was back during the summertime. We liked the touchscreen but the environment...

The units may work great in a different application away from outside use.

Hopefully it has been changed, but the V-Touch units we received to test with said on outside of box and in the instructions that the VPOS Touch was not for direct sunlight use or for "wet" environments. That told me it not good option for a carwash.

What kind of features would like added to the self serve market? Most companies already offer some form of credit card or loyalty programs on top of the traditional cash or coin. Just curious.

I can also ramble a bit. I do like your thoughts. I wished we could have used steamers 25 years when I was detailing vehicles, owner would not buy that kind of equipment. I would love to see a short video if you have one showing your crew action.

I did see where a few offered this drive thru concept and agree it does have liability issues. I would want to see an operational unit or units first. Not just ones where attendant drives for customers but car owners themselves. I agree JQ public has trouble driving. I would think if...

What thoughts --Pros / Cons--- of a Drive - Thru Min Tunnel. I am looking to add a mint tunnel to may wash which is a 5 ss and 1 iba now. I have small lot space and have seen the Drive - Thru model on a few of the tunnel manufacturers sites. I have seen only once at a car dealer who...

How much does using the steam during prep affect your load times into tunnel. I would think it would slow your line down and most operators hate slow lines. I do like the benefit to loosen the bugs on front.

Has using the portable steam units affect your liablity costs like increased insurance premiums or cost? Wonder if it may be part of why steam has not been use on large scale like tunnels and IBA because liability costs.
