Rapid Car Wash of St Albans · Specialty Property For Sale · 3,768 SF

This is quite possibly the most well-planned, well engineered, well thought-out and extraordinarily well-built carwash in the state of West Virginia. There are two automatic bays and four self-service bays in addition to a separate building which is a pet wash. The site was laid out by an engineering firm and built using only top-quality materials and workmanship. The equipment is top-of-the-line and extremely well maintained. This is a one owner property. It was an old vehicle maintenance garage before it was a car wash, and that building was torn down and removed from the site. The land was mediated for any contamination whatsoever, which there was none. Over the course of a year, the carwash was built and added to, and then added to again with all of the equipment that any person wanting a carwash could desire. It even has a rug shampooer on one of the islands that actually shampoos the rugs in your car and then extracts all of the dirty hot water. There are cleaning agents for sale and vending. The self service bays have a blow dryer wand. A concrete apron covers the entire site and it is in outstanding condition. The front apron and the floors in the bays are all heated during the winter. This carwash was built by and continually maintained by the owner who is wishing to retire from the carwash business and take another job. His desire is to sell and he claims that he will stay on to assist the new purchaser for up to one year, one day a week. There is a lot of very important information that has to be given to the new owner because these are highly sophisticated pieces of machinery. \ It would take a long time to illustrate all of the features that this carwash has two facilitate a clean and efficient run operation. There are cameras galore. There are security systems. There are computer-controlled equipment modules and mechanical components. While running this carwash does require a lot of expertise, it is not rocket science. It is simple mechanics. In a matter of two months, a new operator could learn how to make it efficient and start making money or in this case, continuing to make money. The financials for 2021 through November are available, and the income for all the years and months that it was open is available. In 2021, for instance, the facility did $329,000 in gross volume. The expenses will not be accounted for until January's end, in about three weeks. The owner has made a good living out of this place in the last 3 – 4 – 5 years after building it up. It is located very near the center of business of St. Albans on an extremely highly traveled highway. In the office, there is a 12 months trailing set of books which are kept by a family member. They are extraordinarily accurate, and show an income that will support the purchase price. For serious buyers, the information is available following the signing of an NDA. This is simply a spectacular carwash for somebody who wants to get into the business big time or for a company that wishes to extend their holdings; hmmm this one has an enormous amount of life remaining.
