Any general contractor worth his salt can build a wash.

What is more crucial is engaging an architect and civil engineer that understands requirements and nuances of designing a carwash.

Unless the contractor has built similar washes, and you can talk to the owners, be very careful. Finding a knowledgeable car wash salesman will be equally as important. Most of the salespeople have never owned or operated a wash. Talk to this customers also. I've sold many equipment packages over the years simply because I included a workbench and utility sink in my bid.

Robert is sooo correct on this. I used an architect that had truck washing experience but assigned my project to an underling with the promise he would oversee the work. That turned out to be a crock. My lot was graded down so much that I have been pumping my drain water up hill for the last fifteen years because the architectural firm didn't account for the conveyor trench. I also have an equipment room with no floor drains. In both cases it has caused me more than a few inconveniences and dollars over the years. The only good news the architect paid dearly for the mistake.
