  • FAQ

    What's the next step in working with us?

    The first thing we will ask you to do is to fill out the questionnaire at the bottom of this page. Once you complete this form we will review it and reach out if it seems like there is an opportunity for us to work together.

    How much does a car wash cost to build or buy?

    To build a new car wash today it generally costs between $2,400,000 to $3,200,000 excluding the cost of land and site work. The cost of purchasing an existing car wash varies widely based on the individual location, its success and the condition of the asset. Depending on the project, much of the cost can be financed through debt, however the liquid capital required to open a new car wash or buy an existing one is generally between $500,000 - $1,000,000.

    Is Rising Tide Car Wash a Franchise?

    We are currently not set up to be a franchise. We believe that one of the primary reasons our model is successful is the painstaking approach we've taken to building a culture that is fully invested in the empowerment of individuals with autism, something that would be very hard to maintain in a franchise agreement. We feel that in order to successfully expand this model we must maintain operational control. Therefore, we are only entertaining opportunities where our team is fully responsible for the operations of a location.

    What are we looking for in a potential partner?

    We are looking for mission aligned partners who first and foremost want to empower individuals with autism through employment. Of course, we will need partners with the financial means to buy or build a car wash or currently own a car wash, and they will receive excellent monetary returns, but without a commitment to our mission we wouldn't be able to work together.
