Flex Serve Start-Up: Profitable by Month Three

Three first-time operators opened a flex serve car wash on a tight budget. No industry experience. Limited capital. They hired us to do everything: select the real estate, help secure financing, design and build the facility, recruit and train the staff, and get them to profitability.

They built the business around their Unlimited Membership Program from day one. By month six:

$168,000

Monthly sales

Multi-Unit Express: 17,000 Cars in Month Three

A well-established 14-unit company opened a new express exterior location. Their in-house real estate team was making site selection decisions without the right data. It was costing them.

We handled real estate selection and site analysis. They executed the rest. By month three:

$102,000

Full Serve Turnaround: 60% Sales Increase

Three absentee owners had been running a traditional full service car wash for 15 years. They’d hired two other consulting firms over the years. Neither made a meaningful difference.

When they came to us, their run rate was $867K in sales and $87K in profit. Low car counts, low ticket average, high labor, poor inventory management.

We built a comprehensive training and ongoing management program.

High Volume Flex Turnaround: 340% Profit Increase

A flex serve operation with good volume and a strong membership base was 18 months in with $1.7MM in annual sales and $250K in profit. The revenue was there, but labor costs were eating them alive and the ticket average was too low.

They hired us and we brought in comprehensive training and an ongoing management program. One year later:

$3.1MM

Annual sales (up from $1.7MM)

$1.1MM

Low Volume Flex Turnaround: 50% Sales Increase

Two operators had been running their flex serve wash for six years. They’d invested in the brand, reinvested in the business, but couldn’t crack the profitability puzzle. Low ticket average, high labor, and $660K in annual sales.

We came in with a comprehensive training and ongoing management program.

They set multiple records the following year compared to any of their previous six years in operation.
