Business Description
A fully built, permitted, operating express tunnel car wash in the Portland and Vancouver metro, offered as an asset purchase. This is a turnaround rather than a stabilized cash flow business, priced on the installed platform instead of a multiple of earnings.

The story is recurring revenue. Membership revenue over the first seven months of 2026 ran 70,755 against 49,768 for the same seven months of 2025, up 42 percent. Revenue per member in July moved from 28.99 to 37.01, up 28 percent, and the base absorbed the increase. Subscription revenue is now 37 percent of total, against 28 percent a year ago. The site entered 2026 with 231 members against 176 entering 2025, and July 2026 was the strongest revenue month on record.

The platform is installed and current. Four lane entry with license plate recognition, a tunnel sized for roughly 80 cars per hour, and a multi lane point of sale with integrated membership management. Over 150,000 has gone into the site in recent years, including all new tunnel cloth in late 2024, an upgraded controller, updated conveyor and chemical delivery, and the point of sale installed in 2024. Volume averaged 2,157 cars per month in 2026, well under what the tunnel is built to handle, so growth requires no construction and no new capital.

Building the equivalent from scratch means land, entitlements, engineering, permits and utility work, then equipment and commissioning. That path runs 18 to 36 months and well over a million dollars before the first car is washed.

The lease runs to May 2041 and carries a car wash exclusive, so no competing wash can open on the property. Assignment requires landlord consent, and the landlord reviews the buyer on credit and operating experience.

The site is not cash flow positive under absentee, out of state management. That is precisely the opportunity, and it is why this is offered on asset value rather than earnings. Serious, capitalized buyers only.

Facilities & Assets
Modern express exterior tunnel on a leased site, approximately 3,619 square feet including the tunnel building and dedicated vacuum and parking areas. Four lane entry with license plate recognition, feeding a tunnel sized to run roughly 80 cars per hour, with a multi lane point of sale and integrated membership platform. The lease carries a car wash exclusive, so the landlord cannot lease to a competing wash on the property. Ownership has invested over 150,000 in recent years, including all new tunnel cloth in late 2024, an upgraded controller, updated conveyor and chemical delivery, and the point of sale installed in 2024. Full equipment list available under NDA.
Market Outlook / Competition
The site sits on a high traffic commercial corridor in Clark County, inside the Portland and Vancouver metro. Low labor, high throughput exterior express with a recurring membership program is the format most operators and investors prefer. Active membership stood at 366 as of July 2026. The tunnel runs well under its installed capacity, and the lease carries a car wash exclusive on the property, so competitive position rests on local operation rather than added capital.
Opportunities for Growth
Recurring revenue is compounding. Membership revenue over the first seven months of 2026 ran 70,755 against 49,768 for the same seven months of 2025, up 42 percent. Revenue per member in July moved from 28.99 to 37.01, up 28 percent, and the base absorbed it. Subscription revenue is now 37 percent of total, against 28 percent a year ago. The site is not currently cash flow positive under absentee, out of state management, and that gap is the opportunity. Volume averaged 2,157 cars per month in 2026 against a tunnel built for materially more, so the levers are labor aligned to throughput, membership growth run locally, and marketing against capacity already paid for.
