Important decisions warrant careful thought and consideration. It's of the utmost importance to explore in real, tangible, and understandable terms all of the options that one has. Despite the car wash industry being at an all-time high by way of valuations, investor interest, and capital deployment alike - this does not mean anyone and everyone that is a car wash owner should sell.
At Car Wash Advisory, we acknowledge that every situation and every car wash company is different, and that all aspects of your unique circumstances must be taken into account. It may be too early to sell, but it’s never too early to know what your properties are worth and what selling could look like. With Car Wash Advisory as your advisor, we’ll discuss your options and assist you in making your decision.

Have any questions?
Take your time when deciding who you will be going with to represent you and the car wash company and sites you have built. At Car Wash Advisory, we highly encourage you to speak to at least a few potential advisors. Whereas the price elasticity of a single car wash is minimal, this could not be further from the truth for a multi-site M&A.
Keep in mind that a different advisor can mean the difference of tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to the seller. Make sure you are completely confident that the advisor you are considering for sell-side representation knows the car wash industry and what makes your specific car washes and company different from other industry operators. You should also work with an advisor who provides an ultimate level of professionalism, competency, and a strong industry and non-industry network.
In today's market, and with the buyers at play, washes are very often being valued and purchased based on their potential, not just what the business produces today. Don't jump to the conclusion that your wash or washes are too small for Car Wash Advisory.
We handle each and every case on just that - on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to confidentially determine whether or not we could and would be the best in representing you in your sale.
Accepting the first offer is rarely the correct choice, and CWA doesn’t advise clients to accept any offer. CWA ensures the client receives, and advises they accept, the best offer.
Don't cut yourself short, and don't put all your eggs in one basket. Rest assured that if one company, if one person, if one group wants to buy your car washes - so do many others. The only way to ensure best conditions, price, and results is through comprehensive (yet confidential) consideration. The only way this can be achieved is through a well-defined and outcome-driven time-bound process.It very well maybe the buyer you are speaking with already and the one that made you an unsolicited offer and approached you.
It may be the case that the buyer you are already speaking with is indeed the best fitting buyer for your washes. It's possible this is the case.
However, it is impossible to know whether they are and whether the deal and price you are being presented with, is indeed the best without knowing the other options.
It's very frequently that we at Car Wash Advisory are approached while or after an owner is engaging in a dialogue with a buyer, or group of buyers. Please do not let this deter you from discussing other options. A true advisor that has a clients best interests in mind will welcome the opportunity to discuss and engage regardless.
We at Car Wash Advisory welcome the opportunity to discuss, and where it makes sense, become involved in and represent you and your washes no matter the step of the process you're currently in. Whether in initial and preliminary discussions, or whether you're negotiating a final purchase agreement, we view our job as advising and achieving the best result possible for each and everyone of our clients. Often times this is simply us being able to extract a higher, and well deserved offer you may already have on the table with a buyer you're comfortable with and would like to proceed with. Let your advisor be the representation you need to extract the best deal possible, even if you've found the buyer you're set on selling to.
At Car Wash Advisory, we deal in only one type of business: car washes. Real estate and business brokers are working in multiple different industries without specializing in a single field. That’s where Car Wash Advisory differs — thanks to our large network of car wash industry professionals including lenders and buyers, we’ve got a pulse on the industry, unlike more general business and real estate brokers.
Car Wash Advisory is not a broker but rather an investment bank and mergers and acquisitions advisor. Brokers, both real estate and business, run informalized, unorganized, unprofessional processes. We standout as the only true professional investment banking firm and advisor that brings wall street professionalism and process to the focused niche of the car wash industry.
No, Car Wash Advisory is selective about the car wash businesses we work with. We aim to build a lasting business relationship and are more focused on customer service and satisfaction rather than achieving the highest possible profit for ourselves or our clients. Our team will chat with most car wash owners to further understand their business and whether or not it’s a right fit for Car Wash Advisory.
Car Wash Advisory considers a number of factors during the car wash valuation process. These factors include but are not limited to profitability, size of the car wash business, average customer value, location, and more. When you speak with a Car Wash Advisory team member, we’ll walk you through our valuation process from start to finish.
Getting started with Car Wash Advisory is simple — just give us a call or contact us online today, and you’ll hear back from one of our knowledgable & experienced customer service representatives.
