Why invest in the car wash industry
Owing a car wash can be a profitable investment opportunity.
Here are a few reasons:
Relative Autonomy - At a self-serve or automatic car wash, either the customer or equipment performs the labor, thereby eliminating the need for many employees, Generally, it only takes one or two workers to maintain and clean a site throughout busier parts of the day.
Easy to Manage - From an operator's standpoint, a car wash is relatively easy to run in that there are few personnel issues, minimal product inventories, and few maintenance requirements. Additionally, cash flow is not a problem in that there are no accounts receivable or personal checks.
Low Cost - A car wash has low direct operating costs, and fixed costs - such as insurance and bookkeeping - are minimal.
High Yield - The factors listed above - combined with 24/7 , all-season demand, expansion opportunities, and tax incentives - can make your car wash a high-return investment.
Location
Choosing the right location is the most important step to running a successful operation.
Some factors to consider follow:
Traffic Count - A count of 10,000+ is desirable, but a lower traffic site may still succeed.
Site Accessibility - A site should be highly accessible and visible from the street. Corner lots, access from both sides of the street, multiple driveways, and separate entrances and exits all make a site more accessible.
Demographics - Being in a growing community, near a residential area (apartment complexes and housing developments), and surrounded by other convenience businesses is ideal.
Diverse Climate - Some of the busiest car washes are in regions where the weather frequently changes. Adverse weather conditions, especially snow, boost business considerably.
Zoning Laws - Local zoning laws should be checked when choosing a site.
Competition - Nearby competition should be at least one to two miles away for a heavily populated area, and farther in spots that are more rural.
Access to Utilities - Availability of electrical, gas, and sewer services should be considered.
Equipment
In self-serve and automatic car washing, equipment is a site's bread and butter. That is why buying the cheapest equipment available leads many investors to the unintended consequences of costly maintenance and downtime. Although price will be one of many determining factors in choosing equipment, the main thing to consider is value. Dependability, warranty, output capab -ilities, cleaning power, and durability are some of the factors to keep in mind when considering the value of equipment.
With all the different manufacturers and types of equipment on the market, knowing what to buy can be difficult. Understanding the basic differences between functions of equipment helps narrow the choices.
