Hello! I am looking for information on how to value taking over a current wash owners lease and business at a gas station site owned by a major retailer. The wash currently pay a monthly lease (deducted from their income) to the retailer. The wash is tied to the gas station point of sale system...

Hello folks! Two years ago, my financial partner and myself put a bid in to buy a 2 IBA/4 SS Bay site built in 2004 on 0.75 acres. The Owner at the time rejected the offer because it was too low (he was expecting almost 2x what we offered). There were also minimal to zero financial records...

Is there anyone who can perhaps shed some light on how to structure this type of deal? The existing wash needs new equipment and some TLC. I have discussed with the owner becoming a new partner, with the intent to eventually buy out the wash in 3-5 years. I have a local presence allowing me to...

What is the recent consensus across the board on escalation costs? Compared to September/October 2021, I have been quoted up to 15% in equipment and 45% in material (wire, conduit, etc.). I'm sure the labor portion has escalated as well. Has anyone experience significant supply/chemical...

A wash I am looking to buy current offers pre soak, foam brush, and tire cleaner low pressure options. If you were to add an option, which would you choose? I'm debating keeping the HP wax and changing to another product (perhaps a ceramic type sealant) however if I add say Rain-x, I'm almost...

I was looking for ideas on the most efficient way to for hot water at a facility I am looking to buy. The current system uses a large boiler to store water in a pressure tank. The tank then feeds the self service hot water tank (for soap/wax) and feeds each (x2) IBA hot water tank. The current...

Has anyone ran any sort of projection for an IBA to justify new build or purchase? I’m running into a snag with my purchase due to lack of current financials and determine if the buy is feasible. I do know that the current financials are much less than before due to a few issues. The owner...

Has anyone every tried this concept? It would be a SS bay with wind doors on each end (whether they be bifold or airlift style) and a gas fired heater inside the bay. The idea is to provide a heated space for self washing in lieu of doing it outside in the cold open bay. It would take a little...
