Car Wash Inspection Services is a Division and DBA of CB Ventures, LLC.
The purpose of the service is to provide the customer or car wash owner with a fair and honest evaluation.
As a buyer it is difficult to determine the amount of work and money it will take to bring a car wash Up to its past quality service. Update’s to stay competitive in a new market can also be difficult. As a Seller a clean bill of health makes the wash more marketable as an operating business. If a realtor or seller leans toward not getting an inspection, a red flag should fly accross the sky. A short time span between setting up the inspection and performing the inspection should be followed. This does not give the wash owner time to patch and hide. We would rather find the problems and allow the wash owner to fix them properly and still make the sale. The inspection process takes approx 3-5 hrs determined by the condition of the wash and accessibility.
Car washes for sale can be on the market for $500,000 to over $3,000,000.Even on the low side buying a used car wash for sale is a big investment. The owners of older car washes for sale often do not realize that an item is failing or has failed. That is because years ago car washes were a passive investment. Car wash owners would stop by and check the soap, empty out the trash cans every few days and take the money to the bank. Now the logic has changed and so has car washing industry overall. Working in the car wash industry has shown time and again, that an impartial inspection needs to be performed. We use only the best service techs who are experts in your style of car wash. At no time during this inspection will the inspector try to sell you any type of car wash equipment. The inspection can be performed during the week and also on weekends. The owner will need to be present to open and unlock a few items. Take the front cover off of the boilers and such. Replacement equipment can be a very expensive out of pocket expense not figured into the initial loan. With an inspection a buyer can negotiate replacements and repairs as part of the purchase.
We are based in Arvada, Colorado and service the entire state. Our visual opinion report gives
security to the lender that the car wash to be purchased is in fact a functioning business. It is against our company policy to give an estimated value of a car wash and or its existing equipment. We can however recommend a car wash distributor in your area for the current market price of a replacement item or system if needed. There are many car wash manufacturers and distributors in the country. Every car wash manufacture seems to make a good or great product. Unfortunately and often, they sell some not so amazing products. We can make local distributor recommendations based upon our personnel experience working on and maintaining different car wash systems.
