    New income streams

    I added a drive up ATM last year, it's averaging around 600 cars per month now where they were actually charged a fee and withdrew money, a lot of other people who get declined based on all the receipts I sweep up.

    New Auto Wash with narrow bay

    I think the construction part of the project cost me around $50-60k. I ripped out all the concrete in that bay and put in new floorheat, extended the aprons in the front, I should have extended them in the back as well because the city made me remove the outdoor drains and now its a mess with...

    New Auto Wash with narrow bay

    I didn't know it would be an issue when I bought mine, haha! It really did suck... opened up a huge can of worms with zoning and permits and all of that jazz too. Worked out in the end.. all the construction and new machine got paid off in under 2 years.

    Chargebacks again

    I've never had any luck sending video or pictures of the person swiping.. lost 100% of the times I tried so I stopped trying, maybe things have changed in our favor? lol

    New Auto Wash with narrow bay

    My old super wash has a razor edge.. I'm an inch wider than you. I made the bay another 8' longer and raised the roof as part of the project.

    Auto Fragrance - Missing Equipment

    Mine makes about $2 a day, looks like you need a toggle switch ON/ON/ON as well.

    IDX MA850 madness and tire clean turn on itself

    I use Magikist SecureCoin and never had a jam but its picky with how fast you send the quarters down the slot, rejects them if you push them in too quickly. Still have a couple IDX that still work but they definitely jam a lot.

    Bots

    Seems a little unlikely to me that the bots would be able to properly answer the existing security captcha questions you get when registering a new account (even though they are easy questions). My best guess is there is a vulnerability that specifically targets the software that builds the...

    Taxes

    My accountant originally told me I could only deduct mileage from my full time job to the car wash, but once I became a remote employee due to covid he said I could deduct from my house to the wash. :unsure:

    Taxes

    Yeah that is what I meant to say, was trying to say something a long the lines of if you give away 1000.00 worth of soap and utilities costs you can deduct that, but you can't be like I gave away 1000 $20 car washes, so give me a $20k tax deduction.

    Taxes

    The way it works for me is any expense is tax deductible.. so giving away free washes will end up being a tax deduction based on the cost of my chemicals, utilities, maintenance costs. So in other words the more money you spend on car wash related things like upgrading, repairing, inventory...

    Kleenrite Alternative

    Curious what kleen rite would do if you chargeback their mistakes, wouldn't want to lose the ability to buy from them but it is pretty crazy how much effort they make you put in to fix an issue. Seems like they hold my money ransom for months if they send me a defective product, like next time...

    Crypto Pay Tap users

    My tap is doing the same thing and I also installed it about 18 months ago as well, started acting up in the middle of December. I need to disconnect it from power and reconnect it to get it working again for a little while before I need to repeat the process. Maybe we got a bad batch? Did...

    Toggle switch for Fragramatics auto fragrance

    Thanks, yeah I guess I was concerned about it being the right size to fit the hole and whatever other specs it might need. But anyway no worries.. I just got an email from Fragramatics yesterday afternoon, sounds like they finally shipped it.

    Toggle switch for Fragramatics auto fragrance

    Hey guys, Does anyone know what toggle switch works with the auto fragrance machine? It's the 3 selection machine. I tried calling Fragramatics but they didn't have any in stock and i've been waiting almost a month now and they still haven't shipped me it. Really want to get the machine...

    Need help sizing a circulator pump for Tankless Heater/Storage Tank setup.

    I built 2Biz's Takagi boiler floor heat system with two takagi t-h3s and 3x taco 0013s, two in series pushing it up into the tankless heaters and the other pushing out to the bays, seems like I get around 20gpm. I guess you wouldn't need that much if you don't need that much flow, but maybe...

    The Death Knell! Population 5300!!

    Picture looks like a nice place but where will he find customers? I've got like 50k people in a 2 mile radius and the two tunnels near me have a hard time staying in business. Both have gone out of business at least twice since I bought my SS/iba 9ish years ago.

    Strange issue with Cryptopay

    My WSII has been bulletproof with the retrofit kit for the last 3 years. @8th Street Car Wash - I heard a story from another car wash owner in town here that the swiper needs to be paired with the retrofit circuit board, he was telling me his swiper went bad, tried to put in a new one and it...

    Best place to.order 60/80 gal 3 phase 2 stage compressor

    I bought an Eaton from some recommendations on here back in 2015 and haven't had many issues.. they had a 5 year warranty and replaced the automatic drain and another piece that failed. Had the electric motor go on it in the last year but I found the same one on ebay for cheap.
