So was busy washing both my cars in the evening and then the idea suddenly came up.

What say if i happen to open a car wash up as a means of getting some additional income.

Is it a feasible business ?

Went over for a drive after dinner to a carwash nearby and asked my friend if she wanted to get her car washed. While the guys were busy working on the car, i managed to have a quick chat with one of the guys that were supervising his staffs at the car wash.

This was his rough breakdown of his car wash,

washing+vacuum = RM20

Rental around RM10K/month. They are open 6 days a week from Tuesdays to Sunday.

So based on my own calculation, lets say if i happen to hire 5 people to work at my place and i pay them 1200 each, that brings to a total of RM6K in salary that has to be paid.

Presuming that i manage to rent a place similar to the carwash that i went for, my fixed per month would be RM10K+6K =RM16K.

If i was to charge RM15 per car for washing + vacuuming, i would have to wash at least 1066 cars in a month (35 cars a day on average), just to break even.
That is excluding paying my electrical and water bill, buying the shampoo, equipments (water jet) etc.
Anyone here has experience in running a car wash or knows someone who has started a car wash ? I really need to look into the cost of starting up one.
