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. Dual 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
Built, permitted, and operating express exterior tunnel car wash in Vancouver, Washington, in the Portland metro. Offered as an asset purchase at $349,000, all cash. What the price buys: approximately $362,000 of installed major equipment, a lease with site control to 2041 plus two 10 year options, roughly 340 active recurring members, and a crew already on site. No permitting or construction timeline. Step in and operate.

More than $150,000 of the equipment is recent investment already absorbed by the seller: all new tunnel cloth in late 2024, an upgraded tunnel controller, updated conveyor and chemical delivery, and a multi lane point of sale with dual lane license plate recognition for member entry. Ownership reports no deferred maintenance and no immediate capital requirement identified.

Lease: 240 month term from June 2021 running to 2041, with two additional 10 year options. Assignment permitted with landlord consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Market Outlook / Competition
Vancouver, Washington is the largest city in Clark County and part of the Portland metro. The site sits in an established retail center on a visible commercial corridor with existing pylon signage. Express exterior tunnels with unlimited membership programs are the dominant format in the market, and this site already has the format, the equipment, and a recurring member base in place. Competitive detail and a market overview are included in the confidential information memorandum.
Opportunities for Growth
The tunnel is rated at approximately 80 cars per hour. Current volume runs well below that, so the fixed cost base is already built to support materially higher throughput without new capital. Active membership is ahead of the prior year on a like for like monthly basis, approximately 340 active members as of mid 2026, with a membership promotion live and adding sign ups.

The site has been run from out of state on an absentee basis and is not yet cash flow positive. The levers are the ones an absentee owner cannot pull: a local owner on the property, neighborhood marketing, fleet and commercial accounts, hours tuned to the trade area, and labor sized to volume. That gap is the opportunity, and the price reflects it.

Three years of financials, the complete lease, source point of sale reports, and the equipment schedule are in the confidential information memorandum, available to qualified buyers under NDA. Please do not visit the site or approach staff.
