Building a new car wash business compared to buying an existing car wash is a process that will obviously take more time. From starting the process of building new to watching the first car pull into the bay could be ten to twelve months or more. The process of permits, zoning, utilities access, contractor time schedules, original condition of the lot, the local weather and more will effect the time table.

Dealing with a reputable car wash construction company or franchise will be invaluable during this process. If you are not intending to align yourself with an existing franchise system then be sure to enlist the services of a business consultant with experience in the car wash industry.

There are as many different styles of car wash building as there are for typical commercial projects. Beginning with a standard slab and stick type or block construction up to modular systems. The style you employ for your new car wash business with have a great deal to do with local building codes, local government requirements on style and appearance as well as the style of car wash you intend on building.

No matter if you buy or build all the hard work comes in the preparation. Do your homework up front so you don’t find yourself in a bad situation down the road. And, as mentioned a few times above, get professional counsel. It’s critical and well worth the cost.
