Our Proven Approach

We love the carwash business and know from extensive experience that it is far more complex than meets the eye. A new carwash location can easily have more than 500 vital checklist issues and decisions, many of which are unique to a particular location and typically must be made correctly before you wash your first car. Errors can be costly and run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. There can be no substitute for experience for the multitude of decisions that need to be made for a new or remodeled carwash. AutoWash, our predecessors and affiliates have served as a well regarded and trusted partner since 1984. We combine a structured process with a wealth of car wash industry and general business experience at all levels – over 50 years combined experience – to help support you through the entire process from your back of the napkin vision to a top quality car wash operation.

To get started, here are some key questions to consider when looking at an investment in carwashing:

• What do you want from your investment in a carwash business?
  • Profit target plus real estate investment?
  • Personal growth?
  • Fun?
  • Time horizon to get started in the business?
  • Other?
• What role do you want to play in the business?
  • The “big picture” person?
  • The day-to-day operating person?
  • Purely a passive investment?
  • Some combination of the above?
  • Other?
• Think about the ultimate carwash that you would like to own. What does it look like? What are some of the details you want to make sure are addressed?

From your answers to these questions we can start down the path to help move you expeditiously towards your goals and assist with many vital areas such as site analysis and selection, site plans, feasibility studies, business plans, financing, architectural selection, competitive analysis, demographic analysis, marketing strategy, equipment and chemistry strategy, assembly and installation, etc. Please click here to see the extensive range of services that we offer before, during and most importantly, after the construction of your new carwash.
