I’m currently in an area of Georgia that’s experiencing rapid growth, particularly in construction. While there’s one full-service car wash about a mile away, it’s not well-recommended by the community and doesn’t show up on maps.
I’m part of a community of car enthusiasts who prefer touchless car washes, self-service bays, etc., and there’s a lack of options within a 15-20 minute radius. My background is in tech and cybersecurity, and I have the capital to invest, but limited time to manage a car wash venture.
I’m seeking advice on where to begin in this industry. I’ve researched the founders of the nearby car wash, who were former GMs of car washes, which intrigued me. I’ve done some groundwork, but I feel like I might be missing crucial insights.
Here are a couple of questions I have:
- Is it a viable strategy to partner with someone who has the time and skills but lacks capital in the car wash industry?
- What’s the recommended approach for someone like me, considering buying an existing car wash or starting one from scratch?
I’d greatly appreciate any tips or feedback. I’m open to answering any questions to provide more context if needed. Thank you for your input!
Why are touchless washes worse? I’ve never heard of this and my cars have had no issues with them, unlike the ones that touch. Are you referring to the pressure? Appreciate the info on Sky Car Wash. Going to check them out.
