Investing in Car Washes and Car Wash Franchises

Investing in a car wash, with or without one of the car wash franchises, is a great way to put your money to work. Your car wash franchise can be open 24 hours a day, making you money while you sleep.
Competition for customers is fierce among food service providers, with a glut of choices that make it hard to make a buck. Not so among car washes and car wash franchises. Trends in auto ownership favor the car wash business. People are investing more in their cars and taking better care of them. Your car wash business will make it easy, fast, and convenient for your neighbors to care for their cars. A car wash is a cash business, with no receivables.

You don't have to be lucky to be successful in the car wash business! Our assistance in evaluating sites coupled with supplying the right equipment and chemicals and providing "world class" service make identifying and managing a potentially profitable car wash site more science than art. That means less risk for you
Maybe You Don't Need a Car Wash Franchise
OK, we'll admit it: we don't see the need for you to buy a car wash franchise. With Commercial Washing, more of your investment goes to work for you, as there is no franchise fee to pay, saving you tens of thousands of dollars compared to car wash franchises.

Even though you won't find recognizable national brands in the car wash franchise industry, car wash franchises are more interested in preserving their brand than ensuring your success. Expect to follow their decor, signage, layout, and everything else that their "brand" dictates.

Our systemic approach includes the creation of a custom look to help you stand out in your neighborhood and attract customers. We know how to help you build a local brand on the backs of Turtle Wax and Blue Coral that your customers will appreciate.

Commercial Washing tends to appeal to the independent sort, the investor who wants their own business, the person who likes to run the show themselves instead of being directed through a car wash franchise agreement. We don't make up the rules for success, but we know which rules work, and we'll share them with you.
