In this video I explain how I came across my first car wash deal and the in depth details on what my first self serve car wash deal was like. Also I give a little bit about my background from my last few jobs, moving from Australia to Florida then from Florida to Los Angles and my previous jobs before I got into the car wash business.
Then after all that I explain what it took to get my first closed down car wash open and the steps I had to take in order to get the car wash open. I explain what equipement I needed to buy and give some estimates of how much they cost me and my total amount of capital invested in the business.
Im sure you have plenty of questions so please leave all the questions in the comments section and I am more than happy answer all of them.
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!

Hey Chris, I been in this business for over 40 years and I love your energy and personally as how you operate is what I do everyday and that's why I am very successful. I just bought a car wash in my town that has been closed for 15 plus years as I own a large facility on the north end of town and a few outside of my town. This wash I just bought I am just going to do self-service with a truck bay in which will be a total of 5 bays. Had to completely gut it as It was bad. When this wash was in operational nothing ever work unless you just like high pressure, LOL "I use to send the muddy s down there" LOL. This wash I am going to a 12 position meter box switch with 11 amenities and doing 4 ceiling booms. I love your uncle ways and how you followed, you see around here they call me the car wash king, HA!. You both have very good car wash ethics and that's why your very good at what you do. Great job and I love to follow your stories. Dave

i have a question im 22 yrs old and i have 25 k in the bank account saved what do i do with it ? can i start a car wash w/ that amount or i need to save more .... The real question is if you was in my shoes what will you do with 25k ?

[@whiemstra]

Thanks for the great video mate! Quick question, did you finance any of the 50k through something like equipment loans or was it all cash?

I've been looking at an old carwash in my childhood neighborhood. It's kind of attached to a gas station and the carwash lot is directly behind the gas station with two vacuums in the front. The carwash lot also extends around the right side of the store with two extra vacuums on that side. I remember talking with the owner several years ago while I was getting some change and he just happened to be there that day. He told me that he had the carwash built from the ground up but the carwash is in pretty poor condition. Even back then when I talked to him the automatic side was out of order. After stumbling across your video a few days ago I drove by there and it's in even worst condition. All the equipment is in desperate need of replacement and the automatic side has been completely gutted out and is just an empty bay. The neighborhood is currently going through a transition where they are trying to refurbish the area to how it was back in the 90's so it's alot of housing development going on directly across from where the carwash is located. With all the repairs needed to bring this carwash back to it's glory days I was just wondering in your opinion would it be worth it as someone who trying to get in the business? Thanks for your detailed videos I am a new subscriber.

What was your profit from that wash in your first year?

[@spacejunky4380]

That was super helpful! I dont think I can start one now. I

[@lotbshow]

I've been running into more self serves being leased as used car dealerships. I'm working on a couple to lease now. One is an automatic attached to a gas station. This video is awesome man!!

[@jesseayala8039]

When you say they wanted Top Dollar, what are we talking? 400k, 750k, more?

[@mikewagner6396]

You should do a video about your career on being a celeb bodyguard and your time in the WWE. That would be a great video 🤣🤣🤣

[@AldenPez]

I recently starting thinking about opening a car wash and found your videos. Thanks for all the info!

[@guillermocabanellas3537]

Dude first at all great content! Second of all I think it’d be great if you make a guide with everything is essential for a car wash to succeed (even though you already gave most of the crucial info through your videos already).

[@satishkanuri]

As always amazing video!! Thank you so much!!

[@tyroneconstantine9924]

Brand new to the business and I am excited!! What would a 4 bay self serve lease look like monthly? in your experience will landlords sign 5 years? This wash just needs some TLC and maybe a new coin/cc system. Im super psyched.
