Business Summary:
This Car Wash is a 60-foot express wash and detailing center. Acquired by the current owners three years ago, the business is run with very limited owner involvement (approx. 5 hours per week). The wash operates with a staff of 7–8 employees daily, including 3–4 detailers and 2 cashiers. A transition plan is in place to move all employees fully onto W-2 payroll.
The wash generates revenue through memberships, one-off express washes, detailing upsells, and dealer work. Memberships are priced at $25, $29, and $35 (exterior-only) with ~200 active members. Detailing is excluded from membership packages, providing an additional revenue stream.
The facility benefits from strong location advantages, surrounded by multiple auto dealerships, with dealership business contributing ~$40,000 in revenue in 2024.
Business Highlights:
• Established car wash & detailing center in high-traffic corridor
• 60 ft. wash tunnel
• Owner works only ~5 hours/week – strong upside with hands-on management
• Staffing: 7–8 employees daily (mix of detailers, cashiers, support staff)
• ~200 active membership accounts ($25/$29/$35 tiers)
• Dealerships provide ~$40K/year in additional revenue (no formal contracts)
• 14 years left on lease
Growth Opportunities:
• Increase memberships with marketing/loyalty programs
• Convert all employees to W-2 for cleaner operations and reporting
• Target dealership business with formal contracts to lock in recurring revenue
• Expand detailing menu or add higher-margin services (ceramic coating, interiors)
Reason for Selling: Owners operate multiple businesses and wish to focus on other ventures.
