I enjoy my job as an RN, but honestly it’s stressful. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie (also a combat veteran and prior LEO), but as I get older I guess I’m learning I can get that from mountain climbing or other hobbies. Instead of working 60-80 hours a week in the ICU, working 36 in the...

Question- what desire would cause someone to have a careash period other than profit? I mean don’t get me wrong, the car wash itself looks like it would be fun to manage but if not for money would anyone do it?

I’m mostly wanting to understand the ins and outs of how self serves function and how to fix common issues. I would like to work park time at a car wash, but my concern is I don’t know if owners would want to hire me because I feel like it’s pretty obvious I’m not going to be around that long...

Yeah that’s why I’m asking you guys. Because I respect the knowledge that you have. I look online for advice but it’s like drinking out of a firehose, I’m just asking for good resources to start with. Books, websites, etc.

Feels a little scary to own such an expensive facility on leased land.

Well one of the first questions I asked was guidance on where to look. I spent many hours watching YouTube channels on the topic to have you guys tell me it’s all bullshit. Been googling it at work, but I have never worked outside of medical or military so it’s an entire new world for me.

So having bays like that drastically increases income?

Well looks like it’s two automatic bays too. Maybe that’s why it’s so expensive

Yeah online.

Cleaning time is no concern to me. The biggest one is start up cost. I don’t have a ton of start up capital like it sounds many do. These million + car washes are out of my reach for now.

I plan to keep it all self serve to start off with for simplicity sake. I plan to do the cleaning and minor repairs myself but I’m definitely no electrician or mechanic. That makes sense about the YouTube, I know of people in other fields which are basically the same thing. I don’t really care...

I was hoping I could hire someone to fix major issues. I make around 80 an hour doing what I’m very comfortable with as far as my skill set, so I figure that would be more efficient time wise than trying to fix those complex issues on my own.

How many hours a week would you say it takes up? I saw online people saying 10, but I can imagine more in the beginning. I currently work 60 hours a week as a healthcare provider, but I could cut those hours back some.

Thanks for that. Yeah I’m currently looking at all of my options. Storage seems ideal but I don’t have the near million dollars lying around it seems I need to get into that business. I’ve thought about renting homes, but I figured it would be the same as a car wash with maintenance etc. I do...

Yeah that’s what I’ve been seeing. Meanwhile I’ve been watching “car wash chronicles” on YouTube along with other channels and apparently they’ve been buying car washes far cheaper in Arizona, Tennessee etc. For 1.2 million I hope they generate more than the 40-75k annual profit these YouTubers...

I’ve thought about using a VA home loan to buy a duplex and rent out half. I’ll have to look into multi family commercial and see how much start up cash you need. I only have around 120k currently.

I haven’t had much experience in those areas professionally, but I understand basic wiring, I can fix basic plumbing issues, and I’m willing to figure out mechanical issues. I grew up helping my dad with these things. I’m not against getting a part time job at a car wash, I’ve considered that...

Hello, I currently live in Washington State, and work as an RN. I’m looking to buy a Carwash to build my wealth. I know very little about the business. One of my primary stressors is not understanding what all goes on “under the hood”. There’s a lot of motors, wires, and hoses. I’ve been...
