Full-Service Car Wash and Tunnel Oil Change Biz with Seller Financing
Business Overview
This operation offers comprehensive car cleaning paired with oil change services within a sizable, modern facility. Featuring a 104-foot washing tunnel and dual bays dedicated to oil and lube services, the business captures regular traffic from a prominent commercial thoroughfare near a bustling shopping area. Since acquisition in late 2024 by an owner-operator with experience refining underperforming automotive businesses, it benefits from strategic operational improvements and strong positioning in an established market. The location services a well-populated and affluent community with a stable economic backdrop that supports consumer demand. With an existing general manager overseeing day-to-day activities and a loyal staff, the business maintains consistent throughput and customer convenience.
