Weve recently switched our timers from Mercury Payment System to Dixmoor 6 LED along with CryptoPay Tap Plus units. I have about 10 timers that I hate to throw out if someone is still using that system and would like them. You only have to pay for the shipping.

Purchased 2 new units from KR this spring. Went through the onboarding process with NAYAX but never installed the units. Brand new, still in the box with all accessories and 2 NAYAX Cover Boxes. $500 for both readers and boxes. Will need to be transferred to new owner through NAYAX Customer...

I have a ShurVend Mini (rear load) vendor that I bought from Jim Holve back in 2008. It's worked great until recently when it keeps erring out. I think it's the main control board, but I have no idea who if anyone supports these units with parts, technical support. Any suggestions would be...

Since I started this post, I purchased 2 of the NAYAX units for 1 site. Figured I'd get through the entire experience in setting up those, before tackling the other two locations. Its taken over a month to register the units with NAYAX and partake in the exhaustive "onboarding" process of...

I had a long conversation with Harry Kozlovzky from NAYAX yesterday regarding their units. I relayed the feedback from one of my earlier posts, regarding the frustration operators had in dealing with their online tools and poor customer service. He explained that the company was aware of those...

For those folks using either Crypto Pay or Nayax, are you they able to charge sales tax to the transaction? In wonderful NYS, cash transactions are tax exempt, but credit card sales are taxable ay 8%. .

The Carolina Pride systems that I have use a magnetic stripe reader from Brush Industries called "The Sidewinder." They are excellent in wet environments and hold up for many years. My problem is not with the readers, but with the Mercury Payment System that those readers / timers communicate...

I'm getting ready to make the purchase of new credit card readers (swipe, chip, & tap) for my 8 SS bays. I've been using the Mercury Payment System from Carolina Pride and its been great for 10+ years. Unfortunately they sold off the software to a company in Canada called Spiffy Wash Systems...

I own three sites, and the self-serve bays are all with Carolina Pride equipment. I purchased their PC based Mercury Car Wash Control system in 2008, which manages the meter / timers, handles the credit card transactions, and provides real time and periodic reporting of the activity. Reports...

The Carolina Pride Mercury Payment System (for SS) is with WorldPay. My rates have been averaging 7-9% per month. I inquired with my local bank and they partner with PayChex, who has a large and growing credit card processing division. PayChex analyzed my monthly statements, said they could...

I have my flights and hotel room booked. Was getting ready to purchase the admission tickets for the Car Wash Show but was talking with someone who said interest has been very low so far. Many people are going to hold off until the 2022 show in Nashville which will only be 5 months after this...

Long story short, it's to meet PCIC compliance. As the credit card industry moves away from magnetic stripes, and focuses on chip cards or tap and pay, these card readers will be obsolete. Currently if a customer uses a chip card in an auto cashier with only a magnetic stripe reader, they can...

Our Access S Series units have swipe card readers, and we've been waiting patiently for PDQ to come out with upgrades to chip readers. I finally got a quote from my distributor and almost fell over. To upgrade 6 Access units will costs $88,000. OPW purchased ICS and that is who is now leading...

About a year ago I posted a complaint about the ShallCo 10 position / 2 stack rotary switches. They were only lasting about 6 months, and were seizing up. ShallCo was very good about replacing them under their 1yr warranty, but I asked what other operators were using. Most commented that...

The location where these two short bolts are inserted would not allow for a pass through bolt. It would interfere with the internal workings of the powerglide unit. We also have Z Booms and actually run threaded rod all the way up into the attic to secure them. You never know when some kid is...
