Sorry, I forgot to pos the second pic.

Every winter when the temps fall below 45°, cars that go through our dryers in the automatic bay come out with white spots and streaks all over their windows and paint. It looks like freeze dried salt water. It stops happening as soon as the temperatures go above 45°. It has nothing to do with...

Well, she actually😁♥️. I know, I’m an anomaly. 25 years since I built my washes and still going strong(ish). Sure was a lot easier to run them when I was young…

Don’t give me too much credit, I haven’t remember to check the forum in a long time - but someone sent me a message from here about chargebacks and it spurred me to get back on. I love it here, I need to remember to come here more often!

Just a follow up 14 years later🤣. I switched from a Kip Solenoids to DEMA solenoids on the drying aid many years ago and they would still fail every 30-60 days and I’d replace the guts and they would go back to working. Well guess what finally occurred to me? Maybe it’s not in the solenoid. So I...

Oh no. Will it be expensive because of purchasing a new system or do they charge you fees for leaving??

Whoa. Th Whoa. That is a big chargeback.

That is amazing! I need to do this at my washes.

You could’ve stopped at “JE Adams”.

This was my first thought as well.

Utah. I think we must not have much crime? I always call the nonemergency dispatch number and an officer still returns my call right away. I tell them it’s not an emergency, that’s why I don’t call 911. People are so nice here though, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve been here 27 years...

Gotcha. I’ve had plenty of relays fail over the years but they are a piece of cake to replace (just make sure you don’t forget the heat sink). I’ve had one transformer fail but it was simple to pull out and replace with a new one. Maybe ours aren’t the same as yours? We have almost all 3...

You do not know how happy this has made me. I can’t wait to add this.

Uh oh. What kind of electrical problem? In 24 years we have had no major issues whatsoever with any of these vacs at any of our car wash locations. Just normal wear issues.

How have I never thought of this?!?

Exactly. WP is trash. I use TSYS and I win every chargeback. They are very user friendly. We only get 3-5 a years.

BRILLIANT. I love that. Even setting it at 15-20 seconds would work great. I’m going to have my electrician put a relay in each bay. The only customers of mine that won’t like it are those that stop the water to do some scrubbing of tires, washing with a mit, etc. but keep the timer running...

Most chargebacks cost you $30-$60 total counting fees. What is your max? True, but then every time someone scrolls past that when flipping the dial, it would kill the wash. My customer would HATE that. Constantly having to reslide their cards to restart it? Not too mention the increase in...

Are ALL tap to pay systems like that??? If they are, that sucks. I currently use Washgear and I can see everything on our end.

What a JOKE! I have every detail from every transaction the last 18 years on my Washgear system. The police love it. I have info to them so quickly that there have been times they have beat the idiot to their own house. Priceless to have the cops waiting there when they get home.
