OK. Gallons = 1,200 X 0.75 X 10 = 9,000 This makes sense, but our number is closer to a average of 20,000 gasoline gallons a day. Cars per day = 9,000 / 150 (conservative gas wash rate) = 60 Hmmm. Where does the 150 come from? Is it one wash for every 150 gallons sold? If so we'd be at 130 cars...

I've used MSPI before, but I think recently they were bought by Kalibrate. I did not know they did car washes. Please tell me about the rules of thumb. I am hoping there will be resources at the show this week.

Thanks for the links. i read both and they are helpful. As I suspect is typical, estimating future car wash revenue is the tricky part. CPD counts should drive tunnel length, but we have to build the trunnel before we know how many cars we will will have. Are there any good rules for estimating...

I will read both. Our C-Store also sells lots of gasoline. We see the car wash as an extension of the C-Store. I do not foresee adding pumps to the CW. WE have 21 at the store and "next door" access. Thanks.

Thanks. I will find out who has local service/distribution. I do know that an Arizona distributor has worked with owners of several "local" car washes.

Interesting analysis. Thanks. We are building our first car wash along a very busy four lane highway outside of Albuquerque NM. It will be next to a C-Store that averages 1,000 cars a day. We own the C-Store. We will be attending the CW show in Vegas next week to learn more. So far we...

$700k for 2400 sf is almost $300 per sf construction cost. that seems to be more office building pricing. Car wash buildings should be a lot less expensive I think.
