This is an opportunity to acquire a well-established, automated car wash operating from a purpose-built facility in a high-traffic retail corridor within the greater Hartford market. The business has been operating for over 20 years and is recognized locally as a consistent, efficient performer despite increased competition in the surrounding market. Its longevity, visibility, and essential-service nature position it as a durable, recession-resilient operation with dependable demand.
The facility operates as an in-bay automatic car wash with both touchless and soft-touch wash options, allowing it to serve a broad customer base year-round. The wash system was installed in 2017 and is integrated with a modern POS platform that supports unattended, 24/7 operation. This automated model minimizes labor requirements while maintaining strong throughput and operational efficiency. The site also includes complementary amenities such as vacuum stations, exterior lighting, and paved circulation areas designed for smooth vehicle flow.
The property is strategically located along a heavily traveled roadway serving daily commuters, local residents, and nearby commercial activity. Strong traffic counts, high vehicle ownership, and consistent commuter patterns support repeat usage and steady wash volume. Surrounding residential and commercial development continues to strengthen the area’s customer base, reinforcing long-term demand for automotive services.
The business is currently operated with minimal on-site staffing, making it well-suited for an owner-operator seeking stable cash flow or an investor looking for a streamlined, semi-absentee operation. Clear upside opportunities exist through the introduction of a monthly membership or loyalty program, modest staffing enhancements, pricing optimization, and ancillary revenue initiatives. The existing infrastructure is already in place to support these improvements without the need for significant capital reinvestment.
This offering represents a turnkey acquisition of an essential service business with proven operating history, scalable systems, and multiple avenues for growth. An incoming owner can step into a fully operational platform with durable assets, established market presence, and immediate opportunities to enhance revenue and operational performance.
