High Tide Express Exterior Car Wash · Specialty Property For Sale · 2,389 SF

High Tide was the first “Express Exterior” car wash in Cleveland County, built in 2010. This facility has a wash tunnel 100 feet in length, constructed by Modern Wash in Kentucky, with an integrated tunnel controller and point-of-sale management system from ICS in Pennsylvania. After exiting the tunnel, customers are offered 12 free self service vacuum stations to clean the interior. This concept offers customers a way to keep their cars clean at a fraction of the cost of a full service hand wash. In 2015, a major equipment upgrade was implemented. New chains and rollers (Lava Flow) were installed, a new Pay Station, and new vacuums, and new LED signage, totaling $442,000. This facility also uses water based hydraulic fluid, reducing the cost of water recovery and re-use. They currently have a staff of 4 part-time employees and one maintenance person. According to the industry statistics, tunnel car washes have the highest average annual revenue. In most markets they are able to capture 0.8% of the traffic. US 74 has an average annual daily traffic volume of 36,000 cars, which translates into 288 cars/day in potential customers. High Tide offers customers with a variety of options starting with the “Low Tide” wash at $6.00 up to the “Manager’s Special” at $20.00. They also offer monthly memberships ranging from $20-$40. The owner wants to retire, again, and looking for someone to take this business to the next level! Interested, please give us a call…...
