Here it is! My 3rd car wash!
I found this car wash while looking at another self serve car wash I saw for sale online in Victorville. The one I looked at was in a far too quiet area but the broker told us about this other car wash completely shut down for many years.
We drove to the car wash and it was a mess. Yet we saw the potential that the 5 bay car wash had and was on a busier road. Not crazy busy but good enough to make some money every month.
Uncle Stewie decided to invest in the car wash and finance it while I would do the work to build it up, renovate it and bring it back to life. The investment paid of and gave a great return on the investment making back the initial investment in about 6 months and now it has made at least 6-8 times the initial investment and produces great passive income every month with little work. Consider it a great side hustle.
After working for my Uncle for 2 years at he's car washes I really wanted my own and I came across this car wash. It was completely shutdown for many years so I approached the owner of the land and made a deal with him.
It took me 6 weeks to bring it back to life and open it and now the customers are starting to pour in. Not to mention I opened it during winter so I am yet. to see its full potential but here's a small taste of how its going so far!

I don't think people ever get tired of collection videos. Something oddly satisfying about seeing tokens/quarters dumping into a bucket, get sorted, and counted. Then the bills too. Always good views on those.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Nice to know 🙌🏻

This is exactly what i was hoping you would show, some of the maintenance and hopefully get to see more in dept stuff as well! Great videos thank you as always!

Great video I wish I've seen video of your a few year back when I got laid off from oil and gas company. I decided to used my saving and open up a laundromat. Compare to 2 business, I can say owning car wash is way better especially you can run it as owner absentee less of a worry. Well some part that I seen you fixed like underground pipe leak that you almost got scam more than 3k from plumber. Great seeing you do it yourself. With business we really have to research and shop around for better thing.

[@TheTek1998]

Love the content and your story man! Keep up the awesome work. You’ve inspired me into possibly looking at the car wash business as a great financial asset to have and finally quitting my 8 to 5. Id love to learn how everything works in the pump room! Maybe a future video?!?

Hey Chris!! Question - do all your car washes have bathrooms for your customers? If not, why not? Just noticed a bathroom and realized I didn't know the answer to the question. Thank you for the inspiration, always!

[@rickyates9511]

Love the videos keep it up. Question. What should a 5 bay self serve spay wash lease for? I have an opertunity to rent one that's been neglected, but I'm unsure of a fair lease price here in socal. Thanks Rick.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Hey Rick. Thanks! Depends on which area it’s in and what kind of road it’s on. Really busy road will be paying more and can afford to. Quiet backstreet will be less rent. It’s hard to mention numbers without seeing the location but like I said if it’s busy road very visible 5 bay could be somewhere around 5-7k month. Quiet st not so visible more like 2-3k

[@patriotprepperchannel1828]

Uncle Stewie was a great partner choice. What is the advantages of tokens vs quarters? Thanks for sharing!

[@CarWashChronicles]

Less likely to have break ins. No coin shortage issues and no one stealing your quarters for laundry

[@playboijay962]

Id like to be next to where do I sign up?

[@AlexMendoza69]

Do certain price points determine how healthy a carwash is? I see listings vary pretty crazy based on location, sales etc. Just wondering if self service is the only way to go? An exterior conveyor makes the most money with a subscription service, costs about 10 million but leaves you with a 900k profit margin annually.

[@CarWashChronicles]

I would love that $10 million business. Hopefully my self serves can get me there one day and I can venture into the express tunnels which are completely different

[@RobCo_Gamez]

I live in Apple Valley and work in Victorville, that location is in a pretty shitty part of town, no poo, I mean pun, intented. lol

[@CarWashChronicles]

🤣🤣 Yes it is. Definitely had our fair share of attempted break ins. Gotta stay on top of things

[@dzikijohnny]

Advice for someone who doesn't know anything, but I didn't see enough signage when you were driving up to it. Maybe it was the camera work. Even just painting the words on the red roof would be more visible. Also Investment Joy gets a lot of views from his money counting videos! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!

[@CarWashChronicles]

Haha. Yeah I’ve done quite a few money count videos. Seems repetitive but I’ll do some more in the future. And yes we have the banner up there but they sent us a small one so we need to get the much larger one. Good looking out 👍🏻

[@flyifri]

We found that an air dryer in the bay holds up progress to those waiting in line to wash and may be best located near the vacuums' for those who wish to detail with their wipes. What do you think.?

[@jesusfelix2605]

In regards to seller financing people are starting to respond to the notes that I have been leaving. I am new to all of this so when it comes to seller financing what would be the ideal timeframe to pay back the loan to the seller? Example the current owner of a car wash wants $325,000 his monthly income is only $3500 a month but it comes with the business and the real estate. It is run down the lights are burned out there is no vending there are only four options when it comes to washing your car high pressure spot free soap and another one. Even with the real estate I still think it is way too much and I’m thinking about only coming in at 225k. What are your thoughts and/or any advice for me? I’ve watched all your videos and appreciate it all you do. Thank you for your time in reading this. Some demographics about the town it is approximately 25,000 the car wash is the only coin operated one in downtown surrounded by homes there is another car wash in town but it is a drive-through with a hand dry. Again I thank you. And if there are any other resources that helped please let me know I do not want to get burned on a bad deal.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Sounds like the wash is really rundown and the fact it’s only bringing in $3500 a month is nothing. Should be doing that a week. Depends on the road as well. Main road 4 lanes going by or quiet 2 lanes going by. Sounds like there’s lots of room to build it up. Add lots of functions. Make it nice and bright and lots of soap and good pressure. Not sure what state it is in or what the land values are worth but essentially the business isn’t worth much. Bringing in $42k gross a year. Usually they’re valued at 2-3 times net yearly income so basically you’re just buying the land. Business might be worth 45k or so. Typically we would do a 7-10 year finance. The more you build the car wash up the more it will make and that gives you the option to pay it back quicker if you like. Perhaps 5 years. But that would be a longer term deal because once it’s paid off you own outright with no mortgage or rent which is ideal.

It does well only because the rent is cheap. If the rent was the same as my other ones on busy roads it wouldn’t do that well but cheap rent means increased net profits.
