SprayBay is owner-led and based in Salt Lake City. When you call, you talk to the person who writes the check and shows up at the wash.
Self-serve car washes are honest businesses. No subscriptions, no gimmicks — a clean bay, good pressure, working vacuums, and fair prices. The owners who built these washes decades ago created something their neighborhoods still rely on every single day.
But a lot of those owners are ready to step back, and the options in front of them are lousy. Brokers who want a listing fee and six months of tire-kickers. Chains that only want tunnels. Developers who will bulldoze the place and never tell you what it was actually worth. We started SprayBay because owners deserve a better option: a direct buyer who understands the business, respects what was built, and keeps the wash running.
We buy directly. No broker required, no commissions coming out of your price, no public listings. You talk to the principal from the first call.
We verify with water bills, not interrogations. Self-serve is a cash business and we underwrite it like one. Utility records tell us what a wash really does, so you don't have to defend every quarter that ever went through a coin box.
We're flexible on structure. All cash works. So does an installment sale over several years, which many owners prefer once they see the after-tax math. We'll walk through both with you, and your accountant is welcome in the conversation.
We operate what we buy. After closing, we put in card readers, fix the lighting, keep the bays clean, and take care of the customers you've served for years. Your wash stays a wash.
Our word on confidentiality: we never contact your employees, customers, or neighbors, and nothing is public until you decide it is. Owners talk to us years before they're ready, and that's exactly how we like it.
Tell us about it. Five minutes, fully confidential, and we respond within 24 hours.
