Touchless Car Wash + Real Estate | Cedar Rapids
Business Description
Own Cedar Rapids’ top full-service wash
Premium Asset • Recurring Revenue • Strategic Upside
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, automated touchless car wash business and its underlying real estate in a high-traffic Cedar Rapids, Iowa corridor. Featuring advanced, no-contact technology and staffed operations, this premium facility is the destination of choice for a discriminating clientele—including owners of luxury vehicles and ceramic-coated cars who demand a swirl-free, paint-safe finish.
Strategic Investment Highlights:
+ Predictable Subscription Revenue: A robust Monthly Wash Club provides a strong "floor" of predictable, weather-resilient income with exceptional customer retention.
+ Real Estate Included: Own the underlying commercial land and two buildings, providing a secure asset base for favorable SBA financing and significant tax depreciation benefits.
+ High-Margin Detailing Infrastructure: Features dedicated, climate-controlled bays for full-service interior detailing—a high-demand, high-ticket service offering immediate upselling potential.
+ Emerging Fleet Contracts: Ideally situated to capture corporate fleet accounts, luxury dealership overflows, and municipal contracts, offering a major avenue for accelerating revenue growth.
+ Prime Traffic Location: Commands a high-visibility corridor boasting approximately 20,000 Vehicles Per Day (VPD) with effortless customer ingress/egress.
+ Operational Efficiency: Currently run with partial owner oversight and backed by a reliable, tenured on-site team. An active owner-operator can further optimize COGS and modernize digital marketing to scale EBITDA and overall profitability.
Why This Cedar Rapids Business?
+ Ceramic-Safe Technology: The premium touchless system is a "must-have" for the rapidly growing market of high-end, professionally protected vehicular finishes.
+ Growth Corridor: Strategically surrounded by new commercial developments that continue to drive increased local capture rates and daily traffic.
+ Financial Performance: Strong, upward-trending sales volume with over $523,000 in trailing twelve months (TTM) revenue.
+ Accelerating Cash Flow: Over $125,000 SDE (Unadjusted for Rent; Real Estate Included). Stated cash flow includes add-backs for owner salary, personal benefits, and one-time repairs, with no rent deductions. Cash flow is increasing considerably, driven by regional economic growth and a highly favorable shift in the local competitive landscape.
+ Turnkey Transition: Sale includes all specialized equipment, a loyal customer database, and comprehensive orientation, training, and support from the current owner.
+ High Barrier to Entry: A rare service-based business with a massive competitive "moat" thanks to premium branding, and owned commercial land.
+ SBA Lender Ready: An ideal candidate for an SBA 7(a) loan for a qualified buyer seeking a stable, cash-flowing asset in a resilient Iowa market.
