Presenting a rare commercial acquisition: an established, highly rated car, RV, and heavy truck wash operation situated on 1.58 acres (including common area) of prime real estate strategically located near the QEII Highway in Red Deer County’s high traffic Gasoline Alley corridor. Built by the renowned Eagle Builders, the massive 17,931 sq. ft. purpose built facility offers extended operating hours and a substantial replacement cost advantage, with current construction costs alone estimated at nearly $6.5 million, excluding land, specialized equipment, and business operations, all backed by a customer centric billing model where drivers pay only for equipment time used, along with continuous bay cleaning and daily sump maintenance. Designed as a premier all in one vehicle care destination, the turnkey operation integrates eight specialized revenue streams under one roof, including professional auto detailing with power polishing and ceramic coatings, 10 fully equipped self serve detail bays (complete with foam cannons, blowers, and high pressure options), a Fusion X Hybrid automatic car wash featuring 8 customizable programs including a 100% touch free rinse, and two massive 26 x 110 ft. RV and semi truck bays equipped with 16 foot clearance doors, dual catwalks, fire hoses, and reverse osmosis fills capable of fitting Super B trains. Beyond standard vehicle washing, this highly diversified operating asset optimizes revenue through a private pet wash, a fully stocked detailing and convenience store, and driver focused amenities including on site coin operated laundry and shower facilities, making it an unmatched commercial investment opportunity in the heart of Central Alberta. VTB FINANCING OPTIONS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFIED BUYERS.

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.
