subject: Car Wash Businesses – The New Easy Money Business in America [print this page] We are friends with several car wash business owners and we often get asked if car washes are a good business to get into. In fact, they are. We know for a fact that they are a great business opportunity in today's recessionary market. Cars always keep getting dirty and they need to be washed. But people don't want to spend the $15 for car washes anymore, so touchless car washes at $5 - $8 are the right kind of deal to get into.
Gas stations, 7-Elevens, and other stores that have a location that's at or close to retail shopping areas are the best candidates for a car wash business. Manufacturers can often sell you everything you need in a package from the touchless car wash building to the car wash equipment and finally, accessories and chemicals.
A simple touchless car wash business for 1-car wash at a time will cost about $50k to $80k to set up upfront and about $500-1000 per month to operate. They make around $30k - $50k per year in revenue and usually break even in 2 to 2.5 years, with almost no effort on the part of the gas station or business owner. They are THE best, long-term, no-hassle business idea in the United States today.
Vending machine businesses are often thought as even easier, but the fact is that keeping vending machines stocked is no easy task. Car wash systems, on the other hand, require very little maintenance and all maintenance can be done DURING business hours without impacting business. It's really a no-brainer. If you own a gas station or have any prime location that is frequented by automobiles, adding a car wash is something you should consider.
