How much money can I make or profit from a car wash business?

It is hard to categorically say how much income you can expect to make from a car wash business. The rule of thumb is 15-20% return on investment on a 5-7 year window. It really depends on the type of car wash you decide on and the services you will offer.





You need to consider the following factors to ensure greater profitability in your car wash business:





1. Location - you need to choose a location that will support the operations of your business, and it should be very visible





2. Type - what car wash operation are you planning to operate (self service car wash or in-bay automatic, which can either be friction automatics or touch free automatics)





3. Equipment - Unless the car wash business you are thinking of is the self service type, an automatic car wash business requires significant capital equipment





One good resource I found in the car wash business is Hill and Foss Car Wash Business Systems. They have an FAQ section that answers some of the common questions in starting a car wash business. http://www.hillandfoss.com/faq.html
