Drake Business Services
Serving Smith County, TX
It is impossible to be an expert at all different types of investments, much less have an effective marketing campaign, be “in the know,” and maintain a database of contacts across all asset classes. Drake takes a different approach when it comes to brokering business and real estate opportunities. At Drake, we break each type of investment into vertical markets, and carefully select a team member to be an expert in each market. Each agent is then able to spend 100% of their time every day on the daily activities in their area of expertise. This allows our agents to have a distinct advantage over our competitors who are distracted from their core business. As a result, our agents have a better understanding of market demand, marketing time, pricing, availability, marketing strategies, and client needs. Our structure also fosters an environment of sharing and creativity that gives the client the best experience possible.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a car wash in Texas?
The cost of buying a car wash can vary significantly depending on the location, size, and profitability of the business. Based on our most recent analysis of car washes listed for sale, the median asking price is $412,500.
How much do car wash owners earn?
Texas car wash owners' earnings vary, but the median reported revenue is $240,000, with owner earnings at $90,361 annually.
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 in Texas, car wash revenue multiples range from 1.15 to 3.65, with the median at 2.43. Earnings multiples range from 3.71 to 8.22, with the median at 5.85. Using these values, the average car wash business in Texas might sell for 2.43 times its annual revenue and 5.85 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. Real estate included in the sale will also drive valuation multiples higher.
