    Advice for equipment to renovate

    As I stated earlier, I have not had any problems with Eport. No internet needed. Hold up very well. I am in FL and have them mounted on my bay meter doors, dog wash and vendor which are in the elements daily. Never had Crypto pay or IDX so cannot compare, so can only give my experience with...

    Advice for equipment to renovate

    I accept quarters, dollar coins, tokens, cash and credit card via Eport. I was one of the first to have Eports in the SS wash and they have been great. Customer service is very good and have not had any issues. I have them for the self serve, vendor and dog wash. I use the count down feature...

    convert ss bay to dog wash?

    I am in FL. I have it under a tree to shade during the warm summers. It is a nice add on. Do not expect to make a fortune on it, but has been a nice add in my opinion.

    How many guys have 2 IBA's?

    I have 2 IBA's. One WW 2.0 touches and one D&S IQ 2.0 friction. Have been very happy with both. Recently switched my 1.0s to these in 2017. Prior to this I had 2 WW 1.0 for 16 years. I expected the IQ to do more of the washes, but I am about 50/50 on both units. I am happy and my...

    Automatic Car Wash Refunds

    It will not batch out periodically. I have been working with Lenny and he cannot figure it out. Says the only solution is to upgrade the components inside the machine.

    Automatic Car Wash Refunds

    I have an aging American Paystation that has been bullet-proof for 16 years. I need to upgrade the hardware and will no longer be able to issue Washbucks for those that may have a problem at the wash. There are only 24 codes available on the upgrade, so giving a code seems to be a limited...

    Friction or Touchless? What do customers want?

    I have been touch less for 16 years. Just added a friction unit a few weeks ago and there has been a significant uptake in the friction unit. I am not sure if it is because it is new or how well it cleans. Will be tracking the usage as pollen season begins.

    Importance of Website/Social Media for SS with IBA's

    I have a website for my 4/2 wash. I need to switch servers as the company that built my website is no longer supporting it. The new company would like to refresh my site so that it is up the "current" standards in the industry and put an emphasis on social media. Has anyone else done this and...

    Monthly Wash Pass at a Touchless

    I am interested in this concept as well. Has anyone tried an RFID system with a friction and touch free IBA? Same concept, one wash per day. Did it work? Throughput issues? Too costly for an IBA? Any feedback greatly appreciated.

    Ww2.0 retro blast tec

    I have a 2 WW 1.0. Glad that I made the change. I feel better pressure and decreased water usage. Have never looked back. Hydro-flex has been very good with their customer service as well.

    Free vacuum tokens

    I believe the free vacuum token has worked out well for the wash. I gave out the free token for a year, did not raise prices, and now have gone up $1 on each wash this month. So far no backlash. Some customers save the tokens to get a free wash eventually or others use in the vacuums. Rarely...

    Hot Carnuba Wax application on IBA

    Tri foam arch for WW I am working on an arch to mount on the WW 1.0. Going to use a PVC pipe and drill holes in it. Based on a chemical company I saw at ICA, the colors will come out in an even fashion. Red on one end, splice the pipe and have yellow in middle and blue on the other end...
