ABOUT THE PROPERTY
This is a rare chance to acquire a highly improved and income-generating car wash at the signalized intersection of Pioneer Blvd and Centralia Street in Lakewood, CA. Located on a ±16,552 SF lot with over 28,000 vehicles passing daily, this property features multiple income streams, significant infrastructure, and a clear, cost-effective path to becoming a high-margin express wash operation.
The cornerstone of the opportunity is the express-wash-ready 80-foot tunnel, which can be expanded to 110 feet. The tunnel and supporting systems have undergone nearly $700,000 in upgrades, including:
New tunnel system and conveyor
Fully installed POS system
Customer-facing kiosk
License Plate Recognition (LPR) camera system
Reverse osmosis/recycle water system
Post-wash air and vacuum lines
New LED signage, sound system, and security system
Interior and exterior cosmetic enhancements
The property is already equipped with strong infrastructure and operational components making it fully functional from day one:
Convenience Store: Clean, updated interior with new LED lighting and fixtures. Generates additional revenue and enhances customer dwell time.
Four Existing Vacuums: Functional and well-located, with ample space to add more vacuums—especially if the lube bay is removed.
Lube/Oil Change Shop: Currently operating with dual lifts, providing a solid income stream or conversion potential. This space can be repurposed for more vacuums or detailing bays to support an express wash flow-through model.
By removing the lube bay and adding more vacuums, the site can maximize its efficiency and throughput, critical for a successful express format. The site is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the express wash trend, which emphasizes:
High volume, low-touch operations
Recurring membership revenue
Minimal labor (estimated at just 2–3 employees once converted)
Fast customer turnover and increased margins
With conversion costs estimated at only $250,000 to $500,000, this opportunity presents a strategic advantage over starting from scratch or retrofitting an unprepared facility.
