Create a site that offers choice, convenience & a strong ROI
Car wash businesses are fast becoming a profitable addition for property developers and site owners Australia-wide. The evolving landscape of property development focuses heavily around giving consumers quick and easy access to offers that suit their lifestyle.
With high-density living being at a peak, plus more cars on the road, providing people an efficient way to quickly clean their cars that also has an environmental upside is an attractive option, with a profitable return.

GROWING MARKET DEMAND
People are also becoming more aware of the environmental benefits of a commercial car wash, in terms of water preservation and pollution. There's a growing understanding that a well set up commercial car wash will ensure pollutants are not running straight into stormwater drainage systems and into our waterways.
DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT SITE?
As a developer and site owner, your location and visibility is hugely important, as is the amount of traffic that passes by. Calculating anticipated wash volumes and developing a business plan from those numbers will go a long way to creating sustained success.
CONSIDER THE OPTIONS
In-bay automatics and self-serves have low operating costs with low to moderate hands on day-to-day requirements, require less capital and have a much smaller learning curve. Barriers to entry are generally lower, and profits can be realised in as little as 6 to 12 months.
We highly encourage using a specialist who can custom-tailor your design and manage the planning, architecture, civil, hydraulics, traffic and acoustic planning for you. Carwash World provides advice from those who have been in the industry for a long time and have been through the process over and over again.
ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
Our biggest focus is on partner profitability. We want you to succeed and to achieve your investment goals. Whether you have a small site with two self-serve bays or a larger site with self-serve, in-bay automatics and dog washes, our clients are all equally important to us.
