    Google Business Listing /Page

    So for us the verification process was very simple. We put up a mailbox on the equip room door and address numbers above it. We get almost no mail there except some junk bc the business address is actually different than the wash. They sent the postcard to the wash and we were verified. It...

    RO system price?

    We have had an R.O system from Ginsan installed for about a year. It provides R.O. for our 3 ss bays and our laser 4000. Honestly it has been great. We are very happy with it. It requires very little maintenance and provides truly spot free water. Ginsan has been a very easy company to work...

    Evolution Hopper Issue

    So I posed this question to the American changer help group on Facebook. Doug Bale was very quick in responding. He suggested that a fix for the problem was to jump the low hopper plates from the outside of the hopper (as was suggested before). I asked for a picture of what this looks like...

    Evolution Hopper Issue

    I thought that’s maybe what you were doing. I am so impressed by the knowledge of those on the forum. I am frequently surprised by depth of experience with all things car wash. Hopefully someone who knows these things can chime in. Why are you trying to sell ur ac2221? I may be interested...

    Evolution Hopper Issue

    Honestly Ourtown I am not sure. The green hoppers look like they should fit but I dont know for sure. Do you know about the green hoppers? How are they different than the yellow evos?

    Evolution Hopper Issue

    Thank you Greg, that is a good idea. I will probably do that. Would be nice if these had some wifi connectivity, but your idea should solve the problem.

    Evolution Hopper Issue

    So I’m going to revive this thread because I want to know if anyone has solved this problem. We too have the Suzo Happ Evo hoppers and are having the “hopper low” problem. We have them in American Rear load changers. I’m curious if anyone found a way to bypass the sensor plates at the bottom...

    Worth installing credit cards

    We're at about 5.5% in fees with Cryptopay. IMO the best thing about accepting cc is that customers spend WAY more than they would with cash. MORE than compensating for the fees. Customers spend more with credit cards. Make sure you are using the count up feature. Like Randy said "why...

    Pay station and demographics

    I’m glad they have been good for you! Sounds like a viable option for me too. I was scared away from idx because of some of the problems mentioned on this forum but I fully understand that problems can be fixed.

    Pay station and demographics

    Just search idx on this forum and you will find many people are not satisfied with their service or build quality anymore.

    Pay station and demographics

    From the descriptions at least these look like viable options for replacement of an acw4 or goldline door. A nice retrofit adding many nice features like loyalty and bar code readers and even pin hole cameras. 7k is steep but a heck of a lot cheaper than other options.

    Pay station and demographics

    I know what you mean Ourtown. I have read a ton on the forum about how people are not happy with IDX so it makes me a bit apprehensive but considering the cost of an entirely new autocashier, I would definitely consider replacing the door with a more modern version. I too could not find...

    Pay station and demographics

    Any chance you could post pics of these replacement doors for the hamilton goldline?? We have a hamilton acw4 and are looking for different options for upgrading. Thanks! Also, does anyone else have experience with the IDX replacement doors?

    My Coinless Install

    Any chance you could post some pics slash? I’m very curious how this Coinless setup looks in relation to the meter box.

    A different way of looking at trash expense

    Interesting thought Ourtown. I’ve always thought that I am happy when there is a lot of trash because it means a lot of business. Our trash expense during the spring/summer is approximately 5% of vac income. The percentage increases in fall and winter as vac usage decreases and trash stays...

    Why is Kleen-Rite Shipping so much?

    I have asked them to ship very small items via usps and they were quite willing to do so. Took a couple more days but was a LOT cheaper.

    WorldPay or First Data..?

    In my experience Worldpay (since the buyout) is totally different than before. Their customer service is horrible and the online reporting system is amazingly complicated. Luckily, we do not have to deal with them very much. Overall, very happy with Cryptopay/worldpay. All in about 5.5 % in...

    Equipment Room Door Lock

    I’ll be following this thread. We are about to install a new equipment room door and in the process will install a new lock. I’m getting sick of getting keys out every time to unlock the mech room door when i am on property. Maybe there is a keyless option that works well? Something wifi...
