What is the average cost to start a car wash business?
The exact cost to start your car wash will depend on your location, design of the wash, expected scale, and many other factors. The initial investment can range anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. According to Upmetrics, the average costs for automated car wash systems range from roughly $300,000 to $2.5 million.
What kind of car washes do dealerships use?
Dealership car wash designs range almost as widely as retail car washes. Two of the most common dealership choices include in-bay washes and tunnel wash systems. Bays allow dealerships to use a smaller real estate footprint while tunnel systems can wash a higher volume of cars in less time.
What kinds of car washes can work for retail?
Retail uses automated car wash systems and non-automated, self-serve systems. With a self-service car wash, customers pay for access to sprayers, brushes, cleaners, and more, and manually wash their own cars with those resources.
Automated car washes come in many forms. Conveyor and tunnel washes pull vehicles through a series of wash protocols. Other automated wash systems move around stationary vehicles.
Systems can use brushes, brushless sprayers, and many other factors to clean vehicles, and any of these designs can turn a profit for a retail car wash.
What is the best type of automated car wash system?
This depends on your goals for the car wash. Tunnel car wash systems have the highest throughput, able to wash over 100 cars per hour (and potentially even higher). Hybrid washes can provide the highest quality results. These are automated systems that also utilize human labor in the washing process. Meanwhile, brushless car washes tend to be more resource efficient.
What type of car wash is the most profitable?
The profitability of an automated car wash system will depend heavily on your market, business model, and car wash design. On average, tunnel systems have the highest profitability because they have the highest throughput. That said, in a low-volume market, the most efficient design will provide the highest profitability.
How do I choose from car wash options?
The right car wash system depends on your goals. In order to pick the right wash, think about how many cars you want to be able to service, what range of vehicles you want to be able to wash, how many employees you want to staff, how much you can afford to pay into operations, and your initial capital.
The highest-quality, most profitable car washes, such as high-volume tunnel wash systems, also tend to have the highest startup costs and operational costs, so cash availability will impact these decisions.
