How do I value a car wash business?
Valuing a car wash business involves a multitude of factors, but most buyers and sellers will start by assessing its financial performance and comparing that to its peers in the market. Valuation multiples help compare similar businesses with different revenue and earnings levels.
As of our most recent analysis of asking prices, car wash revenue multiples range from 1.51 to 4.16, with the median at 2.64. Earnings multiples range from 4.25 to 7.06, with the median at 5.83. Using these values, the average car wash business might sell for 2.64 times its annual revenue and 5.83 times its annual owner’s discretionary earnings.
Keep in mind, asking prices tend to be higher than final sale prices, so these multiples tend to skew high.
