SprayBay buys self-serve car washes straight from the owners who built them. Fair numbers, flexible terms, a fast close, and a buyer who actually understands wand bays, vacuums, and quarters.
We're not a franchise chasing tunnels or an out-of-state fund flipping paper. We buy and operate wand-bay washes — the kind you've been running for years.
Classic self-serve setups with wand bays and vacuums. Coin-only? Card readers? Either way — we've seen it all and we don't scare easily.
Tired equipment, deferred maintenance, a pump room that's seen better days — that's fine. We buy washes as they are and put in the work ourselves.
We don't need audited books. Two years of water bills tells us what your wash really does, and we make offers based on reality — both ways.
Tell us about your wash — bays, location, and what you're hoping for. We respond within 24 hours, and nobody else hears about it. Ever.
We visit the site, look at the water bills together, and put a written offer in front of you — cash or structured payments, whichever nets you more.
Standard title and environmental review, then closing — typically 45 to 60 days. Need longer to plan your exit? We can work with that too.
"I'm not a broker and I'm not blasting the whole county. I buy directly, I can pay cash or structure payments over time if that works better for your taxes, and I don't need your books to be perfect. Water bills tell me what I need to know."— Justin Kahn, Founder, SprayBay
No. We buy directly from owners, which means no broker commission coming out of your sale price. If you already have a broker, that's fine too — we're easy to work with either way.
Most self-serve washes run on cash and quarters, and we understand that. We verify revenue primarily through water bills and utility records, so you don't need audited financials to have a real conversation.
Typically 45 to 60 days from a signed letter of intent, depending on title work and a standard environmental review. When the paperwork is clean, we can move faster.
Yes. We can pay cash, or structure payments over time if that works better for your tax situation. Many owners come out ahead after taxes with an installment sale — here's how that works.
Completely. We never contact your employees, customers, or neighbors, and nothing becomes public until you decide it does. Every conversation is no-obligation.
Even if you're a year or two out, it costs nothing to talk. Know what your wash is worth to a serious buyer before you need to sell.
