    Wash Select 2 Cryptopay and Tap

    i cant tell you how to do it but unitec used to offer wash coupons. Id call and ask about it. You can generate codes thru the fleet and coupon selection on your ws2 unit. It stinks that you have to physically be at the machine to do it, unless you use the pos4000.

    Anyone running card only?

    I think every site/ situation is different. I would be more inclined to take card only in a higher end place. At my lower end site, the customers expect it to be coin. There are some that would use a card, but the majority want to and expect to use coin

    Has anybody tried this credit card setup

    Fatboy, Im not saying just install the tap reader, Im saying install the cryptopay kit. I could be mistaken but I believe it works off the token pulse. My thought is that the 2 readers could work independently of each other. maybe, maybe not. Coach i cant use the 1 time use cards...

    Has anybody tried this credit card setup

    Ive got WS II's. I currently have the Unitec credit card setup. I like it because of the accounting, receipt printer and fleet cards. I ordered the Unitec tap reader kit. It was around 3k and came as a very nice kit. It did require a new merchant account. (PITA) It does allow for...

    I have used peroxide on clothes. It works but Definitely try a test spot first in a not so obvious place.

    Am I crazy ?

    Washnshine you make a good point. I think you're right. SHinepro it sound like we built the same machine. I added tri foam as i dont run that now. I too will likely run only 1 color. I will play with the 3 colors tho, What did you do for dryers ? Jack954, i looked at the double barrel...

    Am I crazy ?

    hey Coach. I didnt like the hyperflex that comes with the edge because when I looked at one it was leaving a bunch of suds behind to drip on the car and there was yet another weep system. . I thought the notmal flex pass did all i need it to do. I added all the edge lights to my quotes If...

    Am I crazy ?

    So Im a Laserwash 4000 guy. I have 2. They are great machines and we are old friends. They are workhorses and usually easy to work on. However, I "think" its time to reload. A more modern machine that i can reset on my phone would be great. I have spent a quite a bit of time...

    $1 per minute seems fair to me!!!

    Im a dollar a minute and $4 start. Made the switch last year and going to $5 start soon. It was a good move. Ive been working for peanuts for years and years. As operators we deserve to be paid like everyone else. Im behind on my automatic pricing but will be correcting that soon...

    Feedback requested: Thumb up or thumb down?

    Alot to look at here. The 15 year old revived machine is a no go for me. you should have new stuff for that kind of money, I know of severeal 4/1 that have 300-350 in gross income. I think your site should have more income for that price. IMO, cap rates and income multiples are tough...
