    Selecting the location

    Location is critical to the success of a carwash. There are several factors when evaluating a property for your carwash. Always procure a plot plan or survey showing setback requirements, easements and ingress/egress locations.

    Traffic Count - This data can be obtained from the ministry of transport or city council. Traffic type (local, commuter, suburban or commercial), traffic count, traffic flow, speed limits and customer access should be analyzed. High local traffic with speed limits of 65 kph or less is an ideal site. Extremely heavy traffic in urban areas especially near intersections may not be a good choice.

    Competition - Map the location of each competitor within a 8-12 kilometre radius of your site. It is assumed one in-bay automatic vehicle wash can be supported by as few as 5,000 to 7,000 people within a 5-kilometre radius.

    Zoning - Local zoning regulations need to be reviewed. Obtain a water, sewer, electric and gas availability letter from local utility companies.

    Site Planning - Individual property size requirements are unique to each wash site. There are a number of factors that impact the size of the property. Some of the factors include the number of planned wash bays, length and width of wash bays, length and width of equipment room, whether or not an equipment room is required, access to the property, adjacent properties, local zoning regulations and equipment choices.
