Hey everyone, I’m in the early stages of exploring starting a car wash business (likely in a fast-growing area in Riyadh), and I’m trying to learn from people who’ve actually been in the trenches.
I’m a complete newbie and would really value connecting with experienced car wash owners/operators whether you run an express wash, detailing shop, tunnel wash, or mobile setup.
I’d love advice on things like:
- Site selection and traffic considerations
- Startup costs and mistakes to avoid
- Equipment choices
- Water/recycling/regulatory considerations
- Membership models and unit economics
- What you wish you knew before starting
If you’ve owned or operated a wash and are open to sharing advice (even briefly), I’d be grateful if you comment or DM me.
Not looking to waste anyone’s time, just trying to learn before making expensive mistakes.
Thanks in advance.
