Worth reading.
I'm more interested in buying a Car wash business then building one, but this book was still well worth reading. You can still use much of the evaluation criteria given for a new carwash site to evaluate an existing wash. The book was written in 2008 but not outdated. The Authors predictions for the future of the business were on point so its still feels current. I would love to have an update to know what he feels the future holds given the state of the industry.

Great Site Evaluation Information
This book is great for helping you evaluate car wash locations. It does not have a lot of information on operations.

Very good primer for someone considering the carwash industry.
Steve's years of experience show in this book. A challenge for many new carwash operators is that to survive, they need to learn a lot about the industry in a short period of time. This book provides the opportunity to condense the learning curve. Also, the section on site selection is perhaps the most exhaustive that I've ever seen and a must-read before pulling the trigger on a new location.
