Americans love their cars. They spend billions of dollars to maintain them-and this tender-loving care includes having them washed regularly. One result has been a tremendous boom in the car wash industry. With no inventory and no costly labor, a car wash can be one of the most stable and profitable small businesses you can run.

Start Your Own Car Wash walks you through the four different types of car washes and points out the advantages and disadvantages of each. This guide also provides expert advice on equipment, day-to-day operations, advertising, and getting the required permits. You also learn the basics of starting and running a business-everything from doing market research, choosing a location, and financing your business to buying equipment, finding customers and hiring employees.

This could be your ticket to the top. Buy this book, and get started today!
