Selecting the location and Site Planning
Location is critical to the success of a carwash and there are several factors to keep in mind when evaluating a property for your carwash business.
Traffic Count– This data can be obtained from your state roads and traffic Authority. 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 40k or less is an ideal site. Extremely heavy traffic in suburban areas especially near intersections may not be a good choice.
Competition - Map the location of each competitor within a 10-15 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 10 - 15 kilometre radius.
Zoning - Local zoning ordinances need to be reviewed
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 ordinances and equipment choices.
