Starting a Carwash Business? You Have Options!
When thinking about starting a carwash business, you need
to know your options. Here are the four basic types:
 1.
Self Service Carwash - This carwash business model is
favored by many interested in starting a carwash business.
Customers wash their own vehicles in individual wash bays.
These bays can either have self serve equipment or in-bay
automatic equipment in them. Starting a carwash business of
this type offers the advantage of low labor costs and it can
be open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
2. "Stand Alone" Automatic Carwash - When
lot size is limited, a carwash business that uses only the
in-bay automatic may be preferable. This model consists of
one or two in-bay automatics and a vacuum and vending area.
Primary considerations in starting a carwash business of this
type should be based on local competition, demographics, traffic
counts, and lot size.
 3.
Carwash and Convenience Store Combination - In-bay automatics
and self-service carwash equipment can be a profitable addition
to a convenience store operation, adding significant revenue
to the entire operation.
4. Full Service Carwash - This carwash business option
is a conveyor wash system with attendants. Anyone considering
starting a carwash business of this type should understand
that this model is labor intensive and more expensive than
the other types.
