What We Broker
Conveyor tunnels with membership programs and free vacuums — the format institutional buyers pursue hardest across Duval County, Florida.
Wash bays attached to a Duval County gas station, underwritten as an incremental profit center on existing fuel traffic.
Lower-capex wand-bay properties, often on smaller Beach Blvd parcels with redevelopment optionality.
Fee-simple wash property leased to a credit operator — a net-lease alternative to fuel-anchored real estate.
Confidential disposition to regional chains, private equity platforms, and local operators.
Service garages, lube centers, tire stores, and other automotive properties across Duval County.
Logistics traffic makes Duval County a diesel market as much as a gasoline market. Where a site sits relative to I-95 and to truck-permitted turning movements on Beach Blvd determines whether it can capture commercial volume at all — a site with tight access is a passenger-car store regardless of how much freight passes it.
Commercial accounts, fleet cards, and cost-plus supply arrangements price differently than retail gallons, so we separate them before applying any multiple. Concentration matters too: volume dependent on one carrier or one distribution center is worth less than the same gallons drawn from broad I-95 flow.
Car wash pricing across Duval County starts with format: express tunnel, flex-serve, in-bay automatic, or self-serve. Each carries a different cost structure and multiple. In a major-metro market shaped by Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT), logistics/distribution, and commuter density, we underwrite monthly car count, retail versus membership mix, revenue per car, and water reclaim efficiency before any cap rate is applied.
Confirm equipment age and remaining life, water reclaim compliance, utility capacity, and site queuing before you commit to a number on a Duval County wash. Also check whether a competing express tunnel is permitted nearby — a new build within a mile resets the membership math.
Duval County, with about 971,319 residents, is a major-metro Florida market. Activity concentrates on Beach Blvd and Atlantic Blvd, with regional throughput on I-95, I-10, and I-295. County averages hide wide spreads — core corridors and outlying trade areas clear at very different multiples.
Because Duval County inventory rarely reaches public marketplaces, most ownership changes here happen operator-to-operator. We surface those under NDA to buyers already qualified on proof of funds and financing, which keeps employees, suppliers, and vendors out of the process until closing.
Every Duval County engagement stays confidential — blind teaser first, NDA-gated package second, and no public listing unless the owner asks for one. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.
Underwriting
A Duval County car wash is valued on recurring revenue quality. Buyers weigh monthly car counts, the size and churn of the unlimited-membership base, average ticket, and remaining useful life on the tunnel or bay equipment.
Membership changes the multiple. A wash where a large share of revenue is contracted monthly is valued closer to a subscription business; a purely retail wash is valued on volatile car counts and weather.
Site design caps upside. Stacking depth, vacuum count, entry and exit geometry, and water reclaim capacity determine peak throughput no matter how strong the marketing is.
Buyers and operators searching Duval County usually widen the radius. These adjacent markets share the same corridors and buyer pool.
