Imperial Auto Wash
521 Elizabeth Lake Rd, Waterford Township, MI 48328, USA

Sands Investment Group is pleased to exclusively offer for sale the 8,211 SF Imperial Auto Wash Asset located at 521 Elizabeth Lake Road in Waterford Township, MI. This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire an operational, revenue-generating car wash asset priced below estimated replacement cost, allowing investors to benefit from immediate cash flow without the risks associated with new development. The property is further protected by Waterford Township’s moratorium on new car wash construction, creating a significant barrier to future competition within the market.

  • Major Redevelopment Tailwind: Fronts the 74-acre Oakland County Business Center, a $63M mixed-use redevelopment of the former Summit Place Mall projected to deliver up to 1 million SF and 2,183 permanent jobs. DTE Energy’s 75,000 SF Waterford Service Center is operational, and a new $20M Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet dealership is expected to be announced in 2026.
  • Prime Visibility & Access: Located on Elizabeth Lake Road near Telegraph Road, one of Oakland County’s primary north-south corridors, providing outstanding visibility and accessibility.
  • Ancillary Revenue Infrastructure: Features a Eurovac central vacuum system serving a 4-bay cleaning center, supporting an established express interior detail program that drives additional revenue beyond wash sales.
  • Established Membership & Fleet Accounts: The business supports an active monthly membership base and commercial fleet accounts, providing recurring revenue and a strong foundation for future growth.
  • Express Interior Detail Program: The existing interior cleaning operation creates an additional revenue stream and increases customer spend per visit.
  • Motor City Wash Works Equipment: Re-equipped in 2022 with a Grand Arch, Wall of Foam, Axis Robot, hot wax and ceramic arches, Rain Bar, nine dryers, two pay stations, and DRB SiteWatch POS.
