    How to verify income with NO paperwork

    Value of land, building and equipment is all that a conventional lender will loan on. If you can get a distributor to give you a value on the equipment and a real estate appraiser for building and land you’ll have a value to base your offer from. The SBA will lend on the “good will money” or...

    Bless their hearts….

    Send her the phone number for the land fill. Those guys probably need a laugh too! “The guy at the Carwash told me you guys have my missing ear ring. When can I pick it up?”

    Nayax- what does this mean?

    Is this an actual cell signal or is it connecting to the Wifi on the property? I just have the antenna loosely placed in the meter box. I wonder if it would show some improvement if it double side tape it the antenna to the back of the faceplate

    Nayax- what does this mean?

    What is happening when a Nayax reader shows this message? I know it’s out of service but why? I have a customer that gets this message every few hours. I don’t know enough about Nayax to give him an answer. I suspect it is losing the wifi connection to their network

    Foam cannon to clean ceiling

    This location used to be a 4 bay SS. I remodeled to a 2/3. The bay pump I use as a pressure washer is the old 4th bay. It still has the soap and wax solenoids plumbed to the pump. I think I can power up one of the solenoids and inject the acid. I have a 20’ fiberglass wand that the...

    Foam cannon to clean ceiling

    I desperately need to clean the ceilings in all my bays especially the IBAs. I have an extra SS bay pump that I use as a pressure washer with a really long bay hose to clean equipment etc. I’d like to apply some chemicals to the ceiling using a foam cannon so that 99% of the chemical doesn’t...

    Chemical choices for IBA

    Waxman, you’re using +/- 10oz of presoak per wash. I don’t know what you’re paying for SelectPlus because I switched to PowerMaxx over a year ago. Math should be easy to figure out. Using PowerMaxx I am at about $1 per car. That probably seems high but the other chemicals in that line are...

    Changing Function Names

    I’ve been meaning to switch presoak to Grime buster but always forget when I order faceplate decals. I usually remember 2 minutes before the guy calls to tell me the decals are ready

    Self-Serve Equipment

    I don’t have Ginsan but everyone I know that has their equipment loves it. They are the ONLY manufacturer that seems to have a presence on this forum. Dan is always here answering questions. My top choices if I was to buy today would be Etowah Valley or Ginsan. I still have a Monorail pump...

    Talos validator program card

    Can I print that out, cut out and use the “sample” or do I need to fill out the blank card with a number 2 pencil? Thanks for your help Dan!

    Talos validator program card

    I’m trying to program a new MEI Talos bill acceptor using the provided coupon. Everything is self explanatory except selection 3 and 5. Section 3 asks pulse width - gaming short, gaming long, vending short or vending long. Section 5 asks Harness Enable or Always Enable. My guess is I need to...

    Questions about how to set up the car wash business

    the city has a map with the different zoning areas. Each area with have different permitted uses. Most will have Residential, Industrial and business zones. A medium to large city will very likely have several different sub groups in each zone, example: residential A and Residential B. “A”...

    Nayax doesn’t shut off

    Just got back from meeting with the customer. They were trying to use the stop position on the rotary switch as the “end credit card” position just like the old Etowah Valley system did. I have to double check all of their wiring first. Then, I’m going to try to figure out if the rotary switch...

    Nayax doesn’t shut off

    I have a customer that installed a Nayax reader on a SS bay. They claim it works fine except the Credit card doesn’t shut off/stop charging. Does anyone know if this is a wiring issue or a programming issue? I haven’t seen the unit or seen a wiring diagram, yet.

    Fonic Wash Power Concentrate

    Not the answer to the question you’re asking but, I use Kleen-rite’s KleenPak High Ph soap for my 2 SS bays. Great show, works well and no mixing etc. I wasn’t satisfied with Fonic Wash when I tried it. I have space limitations at this location that prevent me from using the famous...

    CryptoPay Tap Plus?

    I was told that the larger local credit union wouldn’t be adding TAP to their cards until 2028. This is the same credit union that has the worst cards that only read in my bays about 20% of the time

    Dumpster almost killer me

    It’s easier for the driver to get the dirt out of it is towards the front. Any water that is in the dirt or other liquids drain to the bottom of the can and freeze. On long cold spells I can lose half of the capacity of the dumpster with paper frozen to the bottom. I had less issues with the...

    Dumpster almost killer me

    I was emptying buckets of sand from my SS bays (not pit mud) into the dumpster when I overloaded the front and it tipped over. I’ve never had this be an issue in my past 25 years. Thought I’d just throw it out as a warning to the young guys and some of the older guys that aren’t quite as...
