Product Description

Start Generating Cash by the Carload

Americans love their cars. They spend billions of dollars to maintain them-and this tender loving care includes keeping them spick-and-span. With no inventory and no costly labor, a car wash is one of the most stable and profitable businesses you can start.

In this book, industry experts walk you through the four most popular types of car washes-full-service, in-bay automatic, exterior conveyer and self-service-and reveal the pros and cons of each. No matter what type you choose, you'll get essential advice on:

  • Writing a business plan and getting financing
  • Setting up an environmentally friendly car wash
  • Hiring the best employees
  • Purchasing the newest washing equipment
  • Creative marketing and advertising techniques
  • And more!

Valuable industry information, hundreds of essential resources and time-tested business tactics put you on the road to success.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good guide for the someone new to the industry, March 30, 2008
Helpful in estimating start-up costs and understanding the basics of the industry. Good value for the money, but you'll still need to search out other resources if you're serious about starting a car wash.
