Excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, fully staff-operated car wash business in Drayton Valley. Situated on approximately 1.26 acres with a 9,940 SF building, the facility features 7 wand bays, 1 RV wash bay, and 2 automatic wash bays. The business operates on a ticket-timer system with no coin handling, and all revenue is processed through the POS system, providing transparent and verifiable sales records.
Recent capital improvements exceeding $190,000 include automatic wash equipment upgrades, pavement replacement, concrete improvements, water treatment system replacement, boiler replacement, lighting upgrades, and a new POS system. The property benefits from relatively low utility and property tax costs compared to many competing markets. Local maintenance support is readily available, helping minimize downtime and operating disruptions.
Strong cash flow, proven operations, and a growing regional economy supported by the energy sector make this an attractive investment opportunity for both investors and owner-operators. Confidentiality agreement required for detailed financial information.

Business valuation calculator
SDE is what the business earns an owner who works in it — profit with the owner’s own pay, interest, depreciation and one-off costs added back. EBITDA leaves the owner’s pay in as a cost, because it assumes a manager does the job. Small businesses are usually priced on SDE and larger ones on EBITDA, and mixing them up is how a buyer overpays.

Arithmetic on the numbers you enter — not a valuation, not an appraisal and not financial advice. Real multiples vary enormously by industry, lease terms and how much the business depends on its owner. Have an accountant review the actual books before you rely on any of it.
