Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

A well-established self-service car wash business is offered for sale, operating at this location for nearly 50 years and providing stability for a new owner. The business includes four self-service bays, one automatic drive-in bay, four vacuum stations, and a car care product vending machine. Recent improvements include a new credit card system for the automatic bay, installed in 2025.

The real estate is not included in the sale. Instead, the property operates on a land lease with approximately six years remaining, with the possibility of negotiating a longer term with the land owner. The land lease runs through November 2031.

This setup is well suited for an operator looking for a turn-key car wash platform with a mix of self-service and automatic service options, along with revenue opportunities from vacuum use and product vending. Because the real estate is leased, prospective buyers should factor lease timing and any renewal terms into their underwriting and operating plans.

Key Highlights

  • Self‑service car wash business established in 1977 with nearly 50 years of operation history
  • Features 4 self‑service bays and 1 automatic drive‑in bay
