Description
Red Bluff Car Wash is an established car wash and detailing operation located on Main Street in Red Bluff, California — the primary commercial corridor of Tehama County. The offering includes both the business and the underlying real estate on a corner lot with approximately 18,600 vehicles per day of passing traffic. Independent appraisal supports the underlying real estate value.
The business has operated as a full-service car wash and detail shop, offering exterior washes, full-service washes, interior cleaning, detailing, ceramic coating, headlight restoration, water spot removal, waxing, and related services. An existing membership program provides a base of recurring revenue with room to grow.
This is best viewed as a value-add opportunity, not a fully stabilized absentee operation. The car wash is currently operating, but equipment updates and operational improvements are anticipated. A buyer willing to invest in the facility, expand marketing, grow the membership base, and apply active local management may capture meaningful upside.
The combination of real estate ownership, a Main Street corner location, an established service menu, and a long-tenured employee team provides a solid foundation for a buyer who understands the car wash business or wants to reposition the site for improved performance.

-Asking price: $895,000 — includes real estate
-Corner lot on Main Street with approximately 18,600 vehicles/day
-Independent appraisal supports underlying real estate value

Tehama County, California
Real Estate Included | Value-Add Full-Service Car Wash
$ 895,000
Value-Add Car Wash With Real Estate, Membership Revenue, and Operational Upside Red Bluff Car Wash & Detailing is an established full-service car wash and detailing operation located on Main Street in Red Bluff, California, the primary commercial corridor of Tehama County. The offering includes both the operating business and the underlying real estate. This is best viewed as a real-estate-backed, value-add car wash opportunity, not a fully stabilized absentee cash-flow acquisition. The car wash is currently operating, but the recent operating history includes a third-party lessee period and a transition back to direct seller operation in May 2026. Current operations, financials, and buyer diligence materials are available to qualified buyers under NDA. Financial figures shown are historical / management-prepared and should not be treated as current stabilized run-rate performance. Current operating updates are available to qualified buyers under NDA. The business has historically offered exterior washes, full-service washes, interior cleaning, detailing, ceramic coating, headlight restoration, water spot removal, waxing, and related vehicle care services. An existing membership program provides a base of recurring revenue with room for growth. The real estate, improvements, equipment, and operating business are being offered as-is, subject to buyer diligence and negotiated purchase agreement terms. The asking price already reflects the recent operating transition, limited clean current-period financials, and anticipated buyer-side equipment/facility modernization. Seller does not intend to complete pre-sale repairs or provide a separate price reduction or repair credit for known modernization items. A buyer willing to bring hands-on ownership, consistent operating oversight, marketing, membership growth, and targeted equipment/facility improvements may have the opportunity to improve performance over time. Investment Highlights Asking price: $895,000, including real estate Main Street commercial corridor location in Red Bluff Real estate included; no facility lease required Established full-service car wash and detail operation Existing membership program with growth potential Long-tenured employee team expected to be available through transition Value-add upside through operating consistency, marketing, membership growth, expanded hours, and targeted equipment/facility modernization Offered as-is, subject to buyer diligence Suitable for hands-on owner-operator or strategic buyer NDA required before confidential materials are released A new owner may have opportunities to improve performance through hands-on local ownership, more consistent operating days, targeted facility/equipment upgrades, expanded marketing, and membership growth. The existing membership program provides a starting point for recurring revenue growth. Additional upside may come from expanded hours, improved staffing consistency, stronger on-site sales, local advertising, digital marketing, fleet or dealership relationships, higher-ticket detail services, and stronger online presence. https://tworld.com/locations/California/saccentralnapavalley/listings/Real-Estate-Included-Value-Add-Full-Service-Car-Wash
