5402 US Highway 87 - Car Wash in San Antonio, TX #gptxcw-102 2,347 SF Specialty Building Offered at $1,500,000 in San Antonio, TX 78222

Commercial Plus, LLC, working in conjunction with Independent Texas-licensed broker Georgina Adkins, is pleased to present AutoBrite Car Wash, a fee-simple, two-bay mini express wash in San Antonio, Texas, positioned on US Highway 87 with immediate access to Loop 410 and a Walmart-anchored retail node. The offering conveys both the operating business and underlying real estate, giving a buyer cash flow, land control, and long-term repositioning flexibility.
AutoBrite is an operating car wash today, but the larger thesis is control of a commercially zoned site in a growing San Antonio corridor. The property’s C-3NA General Commercial zoning, 110 feet of frontage, approximately 30,000 VPD corridor exposure and 0.55-acre site create multiple value paths: continue operating the wash, modernize and improve the current business, or evaluate a broader commercial redevelopment strategy over time.
San Antonio remains one of the strongest growth stories in Texas. The immediate trade area has posted 3.49% population growth and 3.99% housing-unit growth over the past five years, while vehicle ownership remains deeply embedded in the customer base. For a car wash operator, that matters: more households, more vehicles and more daily-use traffic create recurring demand that is structural, not speculative.
At $1.5M, the asset offers an entry basis well below the estimated cost to replicate a comparable new-build wash, with clear upside through branding, pricing, customer conversion, and site-level repositioning. This is not just a wash for sale, it is a real estate-backed value-add opportunity in a growing San Antonio corridor.
