    Wash Select II with Cryptopay

    I have CryptoPay on a Wash Select and a Hamilton ACW. The readers work great, but I did have one that took an excessive number of swipes to work. I mailed it back and they repaired it via warranty. I really like their solution and it integrates well with Vacuums.

    Hamilton ACW lexan faceplate

    CryptoPay sells one for the ACW. You can also buy a newer looking one from Hamilton. Maybe a local shop could do a custom one but it would be expensive.

    Looking for dog wash advice.

    Check out Http://AllPawsPetWash.com. I liked the APW Option A- Aluminum Frame Right Cabinent & Awning. All in with the awning, I was about $18k. It looked well made, easy to maintain and with credit card billing. The guy I met with was Keith Caldwell @ 800-537-8231 x350

    Looking for dog wash advice.

    Here’s some advice I was given. How often do you want to be up at the car wash? If you’re going to be there fairly regularly, they go for it. This assumes some of the items mentioned above. If you don’t want to be there that often, then it’s probably not a good move.

    Wash packages

    I have a 360 and im competing against a well established friction in town. So I choose to go in at $5 but greatly limit my costs on my base wash. Plus I have lots of folks that work at chemical plants and they just want to rinse off their car on the way home. BTW - I would not mention flash dry...

    Using Facebook (or other social media) to promote car wash

    I did the same thing. Boost posts that are fun in your target area. The key is getting a lot of Page Likes (not post). Then every post you do shows up on all of their friends pages. The average FB user has 100 friends. So 300 pages likes actually gets your message in front of 30,000 people. Not...

    Cash or cashless for unattended wash?

    I would love to go cashless but don’t have the nerve to make the change. I’m about 60/40 now and I think I would just lose too much business. But if I can get the neighboring gas station to sell my prepaid gift cards, I might make the switch.

    Laserwash 360 max cars per day?

    I had a LW4000 and moved to a used LW360. It is running extremely well and it’s cut down on most of my calls. The 4000 would hit a trailer hitch and stop. It then needed to be manually reset. The 360 moves around it. If it does hit a snag, it returns home and resets itself. The 4000 also had a...

    Best IBA Wash for Duallys

    I have a 20 year old touch-free PDQ Laser Wash 4000. It’s a small town and the other wash in town has a friction machine. But I’m next door to a busy gas station. PDQ and Coleman seem to have ample technicians in the area. We have lots of large trucks and duallys. What would you recommend I...
