@CarWashChronicles

Thanks man!! I don’t charge extra in there as it has all the same functions as the other bays. Only difference is people can wash the roofs of taller vehicles which will result in a longer washing time anyway. Plus it’s a nice addition compared to other car washes around that don’t have the stair option.

Hello! I have watched all your video's and any questions you may have answered only lead to more questions in my mind. I have a nearby car wash that is mostly neglected, but I really have no idea what to ask the owner. I like your idea of leaving a note under the door, but what then? How do I know if their asking price is appropriate? Where do I purchase supplies, how hard is it to fix breaks. So many questions beyond this!!

Could you also tell what’s the best way to find a professional to help you get the car wash up and running when you find an abandoned car wash that needs all or most new equipment? Also you said it could cost 50-70k to get it fixed of course depending on how many bays and vacuums… how much of it would be labor vs equipment? Let’s say on a 5 bay car wash.

Can you slow down the counting currency? 400 notes per minute??

Greetings Chris! Great video once again! You are an inspiration! I’m looking to get into the car wash business and there’s one in my neighborhood for sale. They want to 2.2M and seller willing to finance 50% of it @ 6% interest up to 20 Yrs. Cap rate is 14%, so noi is about $300k. It’s a self serve with 5 bays and some vacuums. It has credit card readers. I went and washed my car there yesterday and it was pretty decent. It didn’t have certain amenities so it could be improved. What do you think?

@CarWashChronicles

2 жыл бұрын

With that price I’m sure it includes the land. It’s always best to get the land if you can of course. I’m sure it’s a great car wash and with that price point I’m hoping it brings in great revenue and must be on a super busy main rd. Seller financing is always good. 50% is ok if you have the other 50% to give him or have access to it. Honestly I don’t look for these deals because it sounds like it’s for sale for top dollar. Without knowing the land size and area hard to know but a 5 bay with land for 2.2M sounds quite expensive. What state/city is it in?
