Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property combines a well-maintained self-serve car wash with a fully occupied 5-unit apartment building. The car wash features six wash bays with automatic doors, wand and brush applicators in all bays, and air drying hoses in bays 1 and 2. Bays 1 and 2 provide more walk-around room with 19' widths, while bays 3 through 6 are 15' wide. The facility also includes a customer snack area and two supply storage areas, plus several vacuums (3). The current setup has been upgraded by the owner over time and has operated successfully for more than 20 years.

The car wash includes customer-facing amenities and practical back-of-house support, and the property is paired with long-term apartment occupancy through fully occupied units. A couple of the bays could potentially be converted to a laundromat, depending on the buyer’s concept and approvals.

Overall, the offering presents an owner-operated style automotive business along with stabilized residential income from the attached 5-unit building, with both components described as well maintained and operating under long-term tenancy.
