How this valuation is worked out
Car washes are priced on a multiple of EBITDA, roughly 3.5 to 6 times. Format matters most: self-serve and older in-bay sites sit low, express tunnels with a strong unlimited membership club sit high. Real estate, if you own it, is appraised and added separately.
A worked example
An express tunnel with $420K of EBITDA and about 68% of revenue from a growing membership club. At 5–5.5× that is $2.1M–$2.3M for the business, with owned land appraised and added separately.

Common questions
What multiple do car washes sell for?
Most sell for roughly 3.5 to 6 times EBITDA, with express tunnels and strong membership bases at the top of that range.
Is the property included?
No. Land and buildings are normally appraised separately and added to the value of the operating business.
Why do memberships matter so much?
They turn one-off transactions into recurring, predictable revenue, which buyers underwrite with more confidence.
