Rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, modern express tunnel car wash in the Portland metro / Southwest Washington market. This is a turnkey turnaround opportunity, not a stabilized cash-flow business, offered well below replacement cost.
The facility is equipped to a high standard: PECO tunnel equipment, a water-reclaim system, dual-lane license-plate-recognition (LPR) entry, vacuum stations, and a modern multi-lane point-of-sale and membership platform. Throughput currently averages roughly 1,750 cars per month. FF&E of approximately $245,000 is included in the asking price.
The real story is momentum in recurring revenue. The unlimited-wash membership program has grown several-fold over the past 18 months. Every month of the current year has outpaced the prior year (double-digit to near-double percentage gains), and trailing-twelve-month revenue is running ahead of the prior calendar year.
Why it's priced so aggressive : a comparable ground-up express tunnel runs $2.5M to $7M+ and takes 18 to 36 months to permit and build. This site is open, equipped, and operating, with a long-term lease in place through 2041 (plus renewal options) and a car-wash exclusive within the retail center, so no competing wash can open on the same site. A buyer steps into infrastructure that costs many multiples of the asking price to replicate.
The business is absentee-owned and run by an existing staff, so it can operate as a bolt-on for a regional group or as an owner-operated turnaround. The clearest upside is converting more retail washes into memberships and applying active, local management and marketing to a site that is currently absentee-run.
Ideal buyer: an operator or regional car-wash group seeking an established Portland-metro footprint, willing to drive membership and throughput to stabilization. All cash at closing; no seller financing.
