Potential
Growth Potential
Turnover has grown 83% ($9k to $15.5k/week) under current owners, with a clear path to 400 cars/week from today's 300. Prices sit ~10% below local competitors, leaving room to lift them. The tiered membership program (Basic-VIP) isn't launched yet — untapped recurring revenue. Detailing upsells and cross-sell into the on-site detailing centre are ready to build. The on-site cafe is underused: lease it for ~$4,500/month passive income or run it as a takeaway. Low fixed costs mean strong margin on any extra volume.
Skills
Best suited to a hands-on operator preferably 2-3 person partnership with retail or service management experience — rostering staff, handling cash and POS reconciliation, and managing equipment upkeep. Basic financial literacy is essential to read P&L and margins. Customer service focus and local marketing know-how will help retain regulars and grow membership uptake. Buyers need enough capital to cover running costs through slower periods, plus an understanding of company vs asset purchase structures.

About the Business
This is an established, high-volume car wash located in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, trading 7 days a week and currently washing around 300 cars per week.
Under the current owners, the business has undergone a genuine turnaround. It's been rebranded, refocused on customer experience, and weekly turnover has grown 83% — from around $9,000 to $15,000 per week — putting it on an annualised run-rate of roughly $858,000. This isn't a business that's been coasting; it's one that's been actively rebuilt and is still trending upward.
Operations
The car wash runs on a simple, systemised model with POS-driven sales tracking and clean handover documentation, making it straightforward for a new owner to step in and operate from day one. Fixed running costs are low relative to turnover — rent, wages, insurance and electricity are all modest and predictable — and the landlord covers water usage, further reducing overheads.
Growth Opportunities
There's clear room to build on what's already been achieved:
A realistic path to 400 cars per week on the current site and staffing
Current pricing sits around 10% below local competitors, leaving headroom to lift prices
A tiered membership program (Basic through VIP) has been designed but not yet launched — untapped recurring revenue
Detailing upsells and cross-sell opportunities into the business's separate detailing centre
An on-site cafe that's currently underused, which could be leased out for passive income (around $4,500/month) or converted into a deli-style takeaway to capture more spend per customer visit
