A facility with a C-store, car wash, detailing and lube grossing less than $1M per year? I don't see how there would be any profit left after expenses. With all those profit centers, it should be grossing 4x that amount. If you can afford to pay for a $4M business, buy an express tunnel...

Timely post. This afternoon I am having an MRI on my neck too see why I have a pinched nerve which is causing pain/numbness/tingling/weakness going down my right arm.

Finding a good name for your car wash is important, but finding one that has an available matching website domain is the trick. I spent a good chunk of time and money trademarking my wash's name when I first opened. Now I'm creating a new brand for the new washes I'm planning, and I won't be...

Let me guess.... both of you guys stumbled across some youtube videos of SS car washes that showed the owner making tons of money with not much work. Trust me when I say those videos are crap, and it can be a ton of work.

You were injured and now can't sit at a desk? But you want to start a career path that requires physical work? Seems backwards. Maintaining/repairing car wash equipment is physical work. I know that as I get older, that work only gets more difficult.

What type of washes are these? Sounds more like you need a maintenance tech.

It's not easy to break carbon fiber with foam.

I just did this a few months ago when I sold one of my washes. Seller has to contact Crypto and inform them that you are selling the wash. Crypto sends form to seller to fill out and send back to Crypto. Seller informs Crypto who buyer is, and crypto sends buyer form to fill out. Buyer needs...

I'm remodeling a tunnel in a few months and very interested in this after getting the quote from Sonny's. Please keep us updated.

The MCC and chemical board are inside the tunnel. Never seen that before.

Good point. OP needs to tell us more about the site/location/competition.

1000 cars per month won't even pay for the labor to staff the wash. That's a fool's errand. Put in an IBA and get rid of the labor expense.

That would be the busiest and highest grossing 4/2 in the world. The equip distributor estimated the $750K number? That should tell you something...

You're spending too much time on facebook. 99.9% of all the "scratches" that people say are from the car wash are not from the car wash; they just happened to notice them right after getting their car washed. Touchless tunnels never caught on because they don't really work. Too much water and...

I wonder if that one flash blower is there to move all the reclaim water off the car before the final rinses?

Not enough people/cars to support the investment.

I know of a 4+2 in Columbus that will be for sale soon.

Many tunnels are leased; I've heard of some IBA bays that are leased. I think the difference is tunnels can make such more revenue that there can be plenty of $ left over after making the lease payment. Not sure that is the case with an IBA leased from C-store. I've always owned all my dirt...

Can't send that truck down the conveyor!
