Auto Shower – Wilkinsburg, PA

921 Pennwood Ave, Wilkinsburg, PA 15221, USA

Sands Investment Group is pleased to exclusively present for sale the 5,750 SF Auto Shower Asset business and real estate located at 921 Pennwood Avenue in Wilkinsburg, PA. Strategically positioned along Pennwood Avenue, the property benefits from traffic counts of ~21,862 VPD, providing strong drive-by visibility and convenient access for local commuters and surrounding residents. Its accessible location and consistent traffic exposure offer an attractive opportunity for investors seeking an established car wash operation.

  • Dual Wash Format Serving 2 Customer Types: The site has self-serve bays and an in-bay automatic, so it serves drivers who want a quick, hands-free wash and customers who prefer to wash their own vehicles, including trucks and oversized vehicles.
  • Dense Infill Trade Area: Wilkinsburg borders Pittsburgh’s East End, and the site serves a trade area of roughly 142,463 residents within 3 miles, with a median household income of $65,371. This population density gives the wash a large base of nearby customers.
  • Established Traffic Corridor: The property sits on Pennwood Avenue with traffic counts of ~21,862 VPD, giving the wash steady drive-by exposure and convenient access for local commuters.
  • Low Real Estate Carrying Costs: Property taxes were ~$5,246 in 2025, keeping fixed ownership costs low compared with the site’s revenue.
  • Lean Labor Model: The business carries no payroll. Janitorial and maintenance work is handled through subcontractors, which makes the operation simple to run for an absentee or semi-absentee owner.
  • Turnkey Business Plus Real Estate: The business and the real estate are sold together as a going concern, so a buyer can take over on day 1 without a lease, a landlord, or ground-up development risk.
  • Vacant Land With Value Add Potential: About 5,490 SF of vacant land gives a new owner room to add vacuum stations, which bring in extra revenue, or other improvements that increase the property’s value.
