Hand Car Wash

  Hand Car Wash business.

  Business Overview

  For an investment of less than $10,000 you can open your own hand car wash service operating in a fixed location. Strike a deal with the owner of a gas station, car dealership, or mechanics garage to set up your car wash in a section of their parking lot that is not being used. Offering a few hundred dollars per month for rent should go a long way in sealing the deal. You will need to purchase a small garden shed for equipment storage and a 10-foot by 20-foot tent to wash the cars under. A water hose can be tied into the building where you establish the business. A small sandwich board sign can be set up at the edge of the lot advertising your car wash. There should be no difficulties in securing a location for the car wash, as it will act as a drawing card for the establishment that you have struck the deal with. Washing only 20 cars per day and charging customers a mere $10 each will generate business revenues of $6,000 per month.
