    help finding an app to record daily sales for car wash Help

    Since you mention which wash they buy then im assuming your a tunnel. At my tunnel location we have a square POS system with a iPad. You can see all the statistics you're looking for. You will get regular emails showing your monthly activity vs last month and etc. Im not sure what POS system you...

    Count-Up Conversion

    Im not sure about the timer because some online schematics show that certain GT200 do have a credit card input. Im assuming that would be used for count up. Best way to know 100% is just log in to cryptopay and start a chat. They will be able to tell you for sure. I will add IDX is out of...

    What did i do!

    lunchbox if you have not closed yet you should post more pics of the building, self serve equipment, vacs, and auto bay. A lot of us have been doing this a long time and can give you a better idea of what your getting into exactly since we've been down this road.

    Washing out paint in the self serve bay...

    I have a video of one asshole from about 10 years ago that was ridiculous the amount of paint he sprayed out cleaning his 5 gallon buckets. The floor was covered. I called the police and they called some environmental dept that came and took samples. I do remember after the samples and the...

    Coleman carpet shampoo — no liquid, solenoid stem stuck

    It's been a while and I may be wrong but I do believe that solenoid uses a spanner nut tool to remove. I can check tomorrow on some vacs I have out back. If you remove that washer and there are two small holes behind it across from each other then that is what you need to remove. But first did...

    Valve Replacement

    The manifolds are stainless steel not brass. There is not going to be any erosion. Just the stem is brass. Greg posted stainless stems they make that I didn’t even know of. Stainless is always better but even with brass stems I’ve probably only had a few ever get eaten up and it was always the...

    What did i do!

    What kind of paystation does the razor have that it does not have a card reader? It looks like you have a Hamilton changer by the hopper. Just buy a new one instead of wasting time. Get a Hamilton again that has same dimensions as the old one so the block cutout is the same and it just fits...

    Valve Replacement

    You always clean them first and see what happens. That usually will solve 90% of issues. If that doesn't work then replace. If there are not closing all the way then you can stretch the spring a little bit too. Is your chemical clogging them up? Wait for a rainy day and pull everyone of them...

    Bay lighting?

    Are you stuck on ceiling light? I put in wall packs recently that are so bright I have to move my cameras because they mess with the image. $500 for a 10 pack. I have two in each bay.

    ABC washing systems

    You are correct. The old owner of TSS started ABC. Great company for signs. If I was him and sold my sign business for tens of millions then the only logical thing to do after the non compete is over would be to do it all over again 🤣

    XR7 quote

    Splashdash a liitle more context on cost please. Did this include dryers, doors, paystation, canopy, signage, softener, and etc? Surely cant be just the machine. Either way 40K install plus lodging is a complete rip off. 99% of your problems you listed seem to be distributor related and not...

    Recently Restored 3 Automatic bays to be working. What is the best Soaps to be running

    My recommendation is pick two LOCAL distributors. The support is worth every dollar. See who is more knowledgeable. See how the cars come out. If one is better then other its an easy choice. If there similar in knowledge and cleaning then measure the mls to get an accurate cost per car. If done...

    Trash Problem

    It's part of the business whether we like it or not. Personally I would never call the police because of trash but if I did it would be everyday. I like to call them when somethings actually needed and not annoy them because someone made a mess. I just clean it up and move on. The only time I...

    Metering Tips

    What exactly are you trying to do? The hole size even if they match with different color tips between a hydrominder and injector they will still vary on chemical usage because the GPM drawn from each method will be different. The best way to find out how much chemical you’re using or to dial it...

    cat 5CP is loud and makes a banging noise!

    Since you like to spam posts and repeat I will do the same. If your going to lose your home if you dont sell that garbage for $3500 then you should start packing now. Either you stole it or picked it up scraping. Either way not worth anything. Your time would be more productive working a job...

    Call me crazy

    If your going to lose your home if you dont sell that garbage for $3500 then you should start packing now. Either you stole it or picked it up scraping. Either way not worth anything. Your time would be more productive working a job then going on an online forum trying to bait people to feel bad...
