I was watching the show COPS the other day and this one took place somewhere in South Carolina at a SS car wash. The cop was driving by in the middle of the night and saw a car parked in one of the bays. He parked his car and went to investigate. As he walked up to the guy from behind he could...

Scan con 303 is a good portable. Klopp also has a good name and is good with wet coins. As credit cards have become more and more used in this business the need for a coin counter is not what it once was.

I hade World pay setup for SS bays and Hamiltons processor for the automatics. WHen I updated the Hamiltons to Crypto pay all I had to do was add them onto the existing Crypto pay cooridinator.

I have had wash gear and Etowah Valley for SS bays for a number of years at different locations. My favorite for years was Wash Gear as it put readouts in the bays and was easy to use and very reliable. They are still running but not much has been done to innovate or keep up with things like...

Yes you can do this. I converted one location for SS bays last year and added the hamilton automatics 2 months ago onto the same world pay account. ON the second location I did the automatics to cryptopay last month and will add the SS bays later this month. The third location will all be done...

My retrofits were on older friction machine and also a Monarch 2 touchless. I am not sure of the exact size of the area that the front tires sit on. I would estimate that you will need them to be at least 10 inches by 24 inches and possibly 32 inches. Get ones that will cover the entire area of...

You could update with a pressure plate for under $300. They are more reliable than photo eyes IMO.

First month with CRYPTO pay on my automatics. We put both a swipe and a tap on them. So far it is 75% tap and 25% swipe. I did see one lady driving a BMW whose tap card would not process but when we used the swipe it went through fine. I do like that with the swipe I get a name and last 4...

I put one of the LSI square box type overhead light back in 2017 in a automatic bay we renovated. I don't think I have looked at it since and is still working great.

A few drops of bleach is all you should need.

With any powder I always use a in line filter between the tank and the injector. Keeps the injector tip clean and easy to unscrew the screen and clean out to prevent problems.

If you have a touchless auto wash then you are not required to have garage keepers insurance because you never take physical control of the car, or at least that is what I have always been told. If you had a friction IBA then you needed it.

Randy on this forum is in Washington state. He would be the best scource for a used one or knowledge of where to get one. Other than that you might check with Royce industries in Boise. Tommy might be able to help you find one.

I sometimes will mix in some tokens to vend with the quarters. I put a sign on the changer that states it vends a mix of tokens and quarters. The sign alone will stop most abusers. If it gets bad mix a few of the similar sized tokens in for a while. My hamiltons will dispense both out of the...
