Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my car wash with all the equipment in place?
Yes. We purchase car wash properties with all wash equipment, water reclaim systems, vacuums, pay stations, and chemical storage systems included. Nothing needs to be removed.
What if my car wash equipment is outdated or non-functional?
Equipment condition does not prevent a sale. Whether your wash system is modern and operating or decades old and broken, we buy the property as-is and handle upgrades ourselves.
Do I need to resolve water discharge or stormwater permit issues?
No. We take on water reclamation and discharge compliance responsibilities after closing. You do not need to resolve any environmental or utility permitting issues before selling.
Will you buy a car wash that is currently closed?
Absolutely. Closed car washes are among the most difficult commercial properties to sell conventionally because reopening costs are high. We buy them regardless of operating status.
How do you value a car wash property in Memphis?
We evaluate the real estate itself (location, lot size, traffic count), the condition and age of equipment, water system infrastructure, and comparable commercial sales in Memphis to determine our offer.
Can I sell my car wash if there is a ground lease on the land?
Yes. We buy car wash improvements on leased land as well as fee-simple car wash properties. We will review the ground lease terms as part of our due diligence.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
