There are three kinds of wash technology you can buy today. Here's where each one falls short — and where we're different. No asterisks.
Built in the code-and-coin era: reliable, but closed. No memberships, no tap-to-pay, no cloud, and dwindling parts. Repoint is a drop-in replacement that keeps your equipment and adds the modern layer — installed in an afternoon, managed from your phone.
App-based membership services bolt a subscription layer onto hardware they don't control — and take a cut of every member, forever. Repoint's membership engine is native: your kiosk, your controller, your customer data, your margin.
Enterprise wash suites are powerful — priced and contracted for 40-tunnel chains. Repoint delivers the same unified stack (kiosk, controller, memberships, C-store POS) with direct hardware pricing, month-to-month software, and no long-term lock-in.
Brochures all list the same features. These are the ones where the three kinds of wash technology actually differ, and where Repoint sits on each.
Legacy boxes and Repoint both run the equipment; membership apps don't. The Hub is a drop-in for the Unitec POS 4000 and runs tunnels, bays and rollovers.
Legacy units take cash and codes. Repoint's pay station takes tap, chip, swipe and mobile wallets with voice-guided upsells, 24/7.
Apps bolt one on and share the revenue. Enterprise suites include one on enterprise terms. Repoint's is native, with no revenue share or per-member fees.
Plate recognition and NFC are standard on Repoint. Many legacy and app setups rely on stickers, tags or codes.
Gilbarco and Verifone integration is built into Repoint. Membership apps generally can't touch the forecourt.
Your members, plates and history are exportable from Repoint at any time. Ask every vendor the same question.
Enterprise suites often sell through dealers on long terms. Repoint hardware is sold direct, month to month on software.
Rip-and-replace versus drop-in. Repoint is built for retrofits: keep the wash, swap the brain, live in an afternoon.
Do these with every vendor on your shortlist, including us.
List what is in the ground and ask whether it stays. Any vendor who needs you to replace working equipment moves to the bottom of the list.
Software fee, processing rate, per-member charges, revenue share, contract length. In writing, including year three.
Stand at the pay station and try to join the club. If it takes an app download, a form or an attendant, the conversion rate is already decided.
Legacy controllers and pay stations (Unitec, Hamilton), membership apps that bolt onto an existing POS (EverWash, Rinsed), and unified platforms that do both (DRB for large chains, Repoint for independents and groups).
All three. The Hub controls the wash and acts as a point of sale, the pay station and handheld take payment, and the membership engine is native to the platform.
With Repoint, yes. The Hub drops in for the Unitec POS 4000 and connects to most tunnel, in-bay and rollover equipment. Other vendors vary; ask and get it in writing.
Many do, on every renewal, and keep the member relationship. Repoint's membership engine has no revenue share and your member data is exportable.
Repoint runs multi-site groups from one dashboard with member roaming and central pricing. Very large chains with existing enterprise contracts should compare on the eight features above and the contract terms.
The Repoint vs DRB, Washify, Rinsed, EverWash and Sonny's pages each compare on architecture, hardware, memberships and contracts.
Book a 20-minute demo and bring your controller model and membership numbers. We map the kiosk, Hub and membership engine to your lanes on the call.
Pricing is quoted per site and listed on our pricing page. Compare the software fee, processing rate, per-member charges and contract length across vendors rather than the sticker on the kiosk.
