This turnkey car wash and lube shop offers a drive-thru car wash plus five self-service bays and five self-service vacuum stations. The operation is supported by two garage bays with lifts for oil changes, detailing, or mechanical work, along with three office spaces for on-site administration. The property size is 3,490 square feet on 5.6 acres, and it is listed with zoning of CT.
Located at 901 S Main Street in Taylor, Pennsylvania 18517, the site is positioned along Main Street and designed to capture visibility from the corridor. The remarks also note proximity to the PA Turnpike (I-476) and that the property line extends to nearby railroad tracks, which may add utility for future site planning.
For an owner-operator, the combination of drive-thru service, self-service bays, vacuums, and lift-equipped garage bays supports a multi-format automotive service model from a single location. For investors or developers, the acreage and flexible site layout can support complementary uses, subject to applicable approvals, with the property’s existing car wash and lube functions providing an immediate operating base.
