The successful sale of its client Mr. Magic Car Wash ("Mr. Magic"), a Pennsylvania-based car wash brand with five locations in the Pittsburgh market, to Incline Equity Partners has been announced by Car Wash Advisory, a leading M&A advisor to privately owned car wash businesses. In this video, previous owners Justin and Alan Tiano speak about their experience owning and selling their car wash business.
“The timing was right,” Justin commented, “The market is at its peak with car washing based on the subscription model as well, and it’s bringing a lot of major players into the business and they can give you a good premium and take your car wash to the next level.”
Mr. Magic Car Wash
The Tiano family has owned and operated Mr. Magic as a fixture in the Pittsburgh area's car wash industry. Justin and Alan Tiano commented "We are proud of the deal that was made and excited to begin this new chapter of our lives. We are thankful to have had Harry and the CWA team on our side through this process. Their involvement as our advisor resulted in achieving significantly more value for us and our families and their experience was priceless."
"This transaction exemplifies the efficiency and execution that can be accomplished when all parties stay in sync and work in tandem towards the common goal at hand" said Harry Caruso, Founder and CEO of Car Wash Advisory. "I am so proud of CWA for the level of performance and results we were able to achieve for Justin and Alan. And to be able to provide such for a truly industry renowned and long-standing multi-site operation such as Mr. Magic, it was both an honor and pleasure."
Colin May, Managing Director at Car Wash Advisory added: "Mr. Magic and the Tiano family are another entrepreneurial success story in the car wash industry. They built a great family business over multiple decades and generations and capitalized on an opportunistic market. Car Wash Advisory is lucky to have worked with Justin and Alan and play a small part in that outcome. It was also a pleasure to work with Incline Equity Partners and would welcome the opportunity to work with them again."
“The main challenge was really getting the right number for the business,” Alan explains, “and Car Wash Advisory really helped us nail down that exact figure.” Justin adds, “I pretty much knew what I wanted to sell for, and Car Wash Advisory backed up that number and actually hit that number right on the head.” Learn more about the Mr. Magic acquisition here.
