Car washes for sale in Texas

Car washes are a favorite of private equity roll-ups and individual investors alike, especially express tunnels with monthly membership plans. Buyers look at membership count and churn, cars washed per day, average ticket, chemical and labor costs, equipment age, and the real estate. Many Texas car washes own their land, so the property is often a large share of the deal value. We value the operating business and the real estate separately and market both to the right buyers.

Self-serve and in-bay automatic washes

Smaller self-serve and in-bay automatic washes are popular with first-time buyers and SBA borrowers because they need less labor. Clean utility and revenue records are what make them financeable. See buying a business with the real estate included and SBA financing.

What is my car wash business worth?
Value is typically a multiple of normalized cash flow (SDE or EBITDA), adjusted for growth, recurring revenue, and whether real estate is included.
