    Newbie wanting to buy and mix my own soap. Please help.

    If you're changing waxes, put in a ceramic product and market it and charge accordingly. Good way to raise prices

    CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES

    Yes, nayax monthly fee is per device. I've had 12x nayax in bays uncovered for 3+ years and another 8x for 1.5+ years without issue besides customer abuse. They can handle the car wash environment. I'm not promoting nayax over the others, but my personal experience with having 30+ installed in...

    CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES

    Nayax is 2.5%+$0.10 per transaction if your average sale is above $5 on that machine. Plus their monthly $7.95 fee for cellular network. I wouldn't choose just based on lowest fees though, each solution has their pros and cons, which are more important.

    quarter/dollar coin abuse

    There are downsides to dispensing tokens only that we have experienced. If you have a competitor that also runs a good wash and dispenses US coins, you will probably lose customers to that other wash. Most customers hate tokens and will do anything to avoid them if all else is equal.

    Vacuums

    Someone here was saying their vacs had a spring in the filter bags, effectively shaking the filters after every on/off cycle. Those sounded nice.

    If it is foaming that much you are getting aeration in the tank from some source. Need to hunt down what has broken or changed

    Hamilton DRS Change Machine Help

    Did the switch that counts the coins go out of adjustment? Is it counting 2 coins when dispensing or just counting 1 and dispensing 2?

    Wash Financing

    you should in theory have a better chance of getting a loan since you are experienced, but lenders are getting tight on lending, and they come up with garbage requirments instead of denying the loan. Saw it at the last down turn too.

    Prospective 1st time owner - where to even start?

    To be fair, if you are dispensing tokens, that is revenue. Obviously a regular changer is not revenue

    Have you called manufacturer tech support? They usually have a good idea of stuff to check/replace based on which code and how you get the code.

    quarter/dollar coin abuse

    American Changer universal boards can do it, and this replacement board for American Changers can do it. They call it a stringing deterrent, but it can be used to prevent people from wiping out your coins also. Also, just because the laundromat is claiming their changer is working, doesn't...

    quarter/dollar coin abuse
