An on-site owner/operator should provide a higher net income through labor reduction, efficiency, and incentives. Overall labor has been higher than average, however a new POS system recently put in place monitors labor and other expenses and should increase profit. Real Estate is included in this sale. The building is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and the land is approximately 210 ft. frontage and 150 ft. deep for a total of .72 acres. The owner pays himself $3,750 rent per month and is included in the overall cash flow number. This is a well-established car wash that has everything in place for a great investment, and priced well below the standard rules of thumb valuation models.

Facilities: 4,000 sq. ft. building, .72 acres land included in asking price.

Competition: Nearest car wash is approximately one mile away, but does not provide the same full range of personalized services.

Growth/Expansion: Former advertising on TV, radio and direct mail proved a large increase in business. Owner backed off on advertising and sales remained strong. A more aggressive marketing effort could be implemented with these methods of advertising for a new level of revenue. Increasing auto detailing should get the customer average at $24.

Support/Training: Seller will provide support and training.

Reason Selling: Divestiture
