Retail Car Wash Facility

$795,000.00
/

This established car wash facility has served its Midwest market for over 25 years. Set along a high-traffic suburban retail corridor, the property spans 8,600 square feet on a 1.03-acre site, with one in-bay automatic wash, eight self-service wash bays (seven currently active), and seven free vacuum stations.

 

The facility is 100% owner-occupied under fee-simple ownership, meaning a buyer acquires both the operating business and the underlying real estate, with no lease or landlord exposure.

 

It benefits from shadow-anchoring by a regional enclosed mall and a national grocery-anchored retail center, with more than 16,000 vehicles passing the site daily. Two curb-cut access points provide easy customer entry from a dense surrounding residential and commercial area.

 

The local economy is anchored by a major research university, a large automotive assembly plant, multiple industrial manufacturers, and several regional healthcare systems, a deep and diverse employer base supporting a stable and growing consumer population.

 

Investment Highlights

  • Located along a high-growth commercial corridor with significant recent infrastructure investment.
  • Diversified wash revenue across one in-bay automatic and multiple self-service bays, with free vacuums serving as a customer draw.
  • High-visibility frontage on a primary commercial artery (16,000+ vehicles/day), shadow-anchored by a regional mall with national co-tenants.
  • 25+ year operating history with an established local customer base, recognized brand, and stable annual revenue.
  • Real estate and equipment ($750K) supported by a current independent third-party appraisal, providing tangible asset value behind the purchase price.

 

Growth Opportunities

  • Convert the inactive bay into a self-serve dog wash station, adding a new revenue channel.
  • Expand the monthly-pass program by including an app- based entry/membership system to convert transactional customers into recurring revenue.
  • Expand on-site retail sales (drying towels, air fresheners, tire shine), currently available but under-promoted.
  • Explore rooftop cell-tower leasing as a passive income stream (subject to zoning/permitting).
  • Rear-facing wall presents a digital advertising opportunity targeting adjacent shopping center traffic (subject to zoning/permitting).
