Lee & Associates is pleased to exclusively offer for sale Triple Crown Car Wash, a clean, updated fee-simple express tunnel (with towel-dry) at 604 Fairway Dr in Galt, California, offered at $2,500,000.
The offering is anchored to 2024 adjusted NOI of $282,643 - an 11.3% cap rate at the asking price. The softer 2025 result (adjusted NOI $227,413; 9.1% cap) is a floor driven by owner disengagement, passive operations, and minimal marketing - not a physical or structural deficiency. The asset itself is clean and recently updated.
VALUE-ADD UPSIDE:
Under active management - a recurring membership program, extended hours, and targeted marketing - and supported by roughly 5,000 homes in the local residential pipeline, Year-2 revenue is targeted at $750,000-$850,000 with adjusted NOI of $300,000-$380,000, implying a 12.0%-15.2% proforma cap at the offering price. Comparable well-run California express tunnels generate $750,000-$1,200,000 annually.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS:
- Three cap-rate bases: 9.1% (2025 actual), 11.3% (2024 basis), and 12.0%-15.2% (proforma).
- Strong, growing demographics: Galt population +30% since 2000, $86,327 median household income, 77% homeownership.
- Effectively a two-operator tunnel market; Gilly's Car Wash is the only direct competitor.
- Clean, fee-simple express tunnel (real estate + business), acquired 2022; formerly Big Sponge Car Wash.
- Blended SBA 504/7(a) financing is the realistic case; the Galt real estate (~$1.7M) anchors the 504 collateral. Returns improve materially on the 2024 basis and proforma.
