The CWSI Advantage

CWSI: So Much Better Than a Carwash Franchise Could Ever Be!

Although many come to us convinced that a carwash franchise is the best option for them, carwash franchises don't have the same advantages that the CWSI system provides.

We've spent the past three decades refining the business system and support resources that allow an independent investor to confidently pursue their own car wash business, without the complications of the rules and fees associated with carwash franchises. We'll advise you on your business strategy, marketing strategy, and operations strategy to help you succeed.

Another big plus of a franchise is name recognition. OK, quick - name a big national carwash franchise. Couldn't think of one? Don't waste money on carwash franchises because their brand recognition is so weak.

Other companies want you to buy carwash equipment. We want to help you invest in a successful business - your own.
Still Considering Carwash Franchises?

One of the carwash franchises might be right for you if you're ready for:

  • Franchise Fee - some charge $25,000 for the "privilege" of using the system the carwash franchise provides.
  • Royalty Fees - typically 5% of revenues - forever.
  • Advertising Fees - 1% of revenues - so the carwash franchise can promote the "brand."

Remember, the franchiser makes the rules, and you have to answer to them. While you own the assets (and the risk!), the carwash franchise agreement tells you how to run the business. Who you can sell your business to when you're ready to cross that bridge. If they'll renew your carwash franchise agreement or not.

Some are OK with that. We're not.

We want you to enjoy the independence of your own business without the hassles of carwash franchises. We'll both benefit when you succeed, and we're planning on working with you for many years to come.
