Everything you need to be successful in car washing

Many factors go into the successful capitalization of your car wash investment. MacNeil has the experience, tools, and local support to help you smoothly navigate through all phases of your car wash's development.

Business Plan Analysis and Development
There are many different types of car washes in this industry - full service, flex service, exterior, automatic wash bays, and self service; each of these types of car washes has its own investment structure, level of management and potential return on investment. Our local distributor will discuss the pros and cons of each with you to help you determine the best wash for your situation.

Site Selection
The first and most important step in owning a car wash is site selection. Choosing the right site gives you the best chance of success - choosing the wrong one could cost you your investment. Having an experienced car wash professional review your locations and offer input will get your project started on the right path. We provide all of the site analysis information through our local distributors, so they can assist you through your site selection.

Many investors do not share their locations or talk to an equipment manufacturer until they are too far into the project (monies invested) to back out or change locations - a mistake that can effect them forever. We hope you will give us the opportunity to provide you professional advice from the beginning, and help you avoid a mistake that could cost you a lot of money.

Site Analysis and Revenue Projection Tools
To provide you the highest level of advice, we will not do proformas over the phone or provide you with these forms on the internet. Using these forms remotely prevents you from accessing the critical, experienced input that is vital to your success.

You could have a site that scores "10s" on 9 of 10 categories, but the last category's shortcoming could cause your site to fail; or you could have a traffic count that masks the weaknesses of your site on a proforma. These weaknesses will not be masked when you open. Partnering with an industry expert who fully understands your goals, your local market conditions and all the ins-and-outs of building a successful car wash business is critical to every aspect of your business venture. That's why we partner with the best distributors nation-wide, many of whom are car wash operators themselves.

Getting Started
Let us help you choose the right site and provide you with a feasibility study on it. If they both look acceptable, we can take the next step. There's no obligation to some good advice.

We work hand-in-hand with our distributors on the design and layout of your car wash, from inspecting the site plan to ensure traffic flows correctly to providing your architect with the mechanical drawings for your wash.

The following are some of the additional services that are provided to assist you in the development your project:

• Assistance in the development of your business plan
• Assistance in financing and providing you the financial information that you will need
• Aid in obtaining zoning and permits for your project
• Supplying input to engineers and architects on the building requirements and aesthetic and material options for the building
• Training on wash operations, including employee, maintenance and overall operations

In short, we will make your project a success.

For over 25 years, we have been helping investors become successful in the car washing business by providing them with honest input and assistance. We look forward to having the opportunity to discuss our services with you and to work with you on the successful development of your car wash.
