Hand Car Washes - Cash Cows?
Discussion
The one I use is a busy one. He gets through, on average, about 90 cars a day.
If half were outside washes only, at 5.00 a go; and the other half were inside/outside cleans at 10.00... = £675 a day or roughly 4k a week. I think the hotter days, especially weekends, these guys will hit higher targets...
Most of goes in their pockets.
Or does it...? Cost of materials + rental of plot / rates + staff wages...
'Ayub' seems to be doing quite well whatever the circumstances.

according to my local 'inside boss?' car wash they're busier in the winter - dirtier cars and too cold for people to DIYhe also said that the market is saturated and they're starting to buy each other out
mini valet will be £15 by this time next year

Henley's corner near the Jet??
more info please, have red wine fug
Heading into Temple Fortune (Finchley Road) from the NCR, there's a Texaco on the left and as you pass it, there is Kwik-Fit on your right. Slap bang next to it is a Jet (shut down now). About a year / year and a half ago, that place was heaving with cars... turns out the Kosovans got skanked in a moody lease-holder manouvre.more info please, have red wine fug
Does anyone have indicative costs for starting one up, there is an oppertunity near me that i am currently thinknig of. The ones I pass in Leeds seem to be professionally branded, with new forcourt signage and a common coour scheme with great big blow up "statue", they always seem to be busy, especially in winter time, and charge £6 per car.
The garage I have seen is not leeds based.
The current items I can think off are; (in no particular order..)
Workforce - sufficient for each aspect of the clean
Equipment
Identity - uniforms/overalls/signage/forecourt signage to canopy
Set up costs - legal etc
??
Any help would be appreciated.
