Miami-Dade County • Miami-Dade
Car washes for sale in Hialeah, Florida are valued on monthly car counts, unlimited-wash membership base, and equipment condition. Express tunnels, in-bay automatics, and self-serve bays trade at different multiples, and a site's W 49th St visibility and stacking capacity drive throughput. Led by Bobby Berrido, CCIM, CMAA. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.

(305) 518-1545Car washes sit next to fuel retail in the same real estate conversation: high-visibility corners, drive-through traffic, and equipment-heavy operations. Many Hialeah owners run both, and buyers regularly look at the two asset classes side by side.
Hialeah wash demand is supported by commuter density, industrial employment, and warehouse and manufacturing, with the strongest sites on W 49th St and W 4th Ave.

What We Broker
Conveyor tunnels with membership programs and free vacuums — the format institutional buyers pursue hardest in Hialeah, Florida.
Wash bays attached to a Hialeah gas station, underwritten as an incremental profit center on existing fuel traffic.
Lower-capex wand-bay properties, often on smaller W 49th St 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 Hialeah.
Hialeah sits in Miami-Dade County with roughly 223,109 residents and functions as a mid-sized Miami-Dade trade area. Retail transactions cluster on W 49th St and W 4th Ave, and regional access runs through I-75, SR 826 (Palmetto), and Okeechobee Rd. That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
Because Hialeah 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 Hialeah 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.
Logistics traffic makes Hialeah a diesel market as much as a gasoline market. Where a site sits relative to I-75 and to truck-permitted turning movements on W 49th St 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-75 flow.
A car wash in Hialeah is an equipment-and-real-estate business with retail cash flow on top. We value the site on W 49th St frontage, stacking and queue capacity, and highest-and-best-use, then value the operation on car count and membership base, then reconcile the two rather than blending them.
Confirm equipment age and remaining life, water reclaim compliance, utility capacity, and site queuing before you commit to a number on a Hialeah wash. Also check whether a competing express tunnel is permitted nearby — a new build within a mile resets the membership math.
Underwriting
A Hialeah 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.
