About the Franchise

Star Car Wash offers a compelling car wash franchise opportunity by leveraging a proven and efficient business model. As Australia’s largest hand car wash provider, it operates over 160 locations, often situated in high-traffic retail and shopping centre car parks. This strategic placement provides Star Car Wash franchisees with a high-volume, convenient customer base.

The model is designed to be straightforward, meaning no prior industry experience is required to become a successful franchisee. Unlike some automated tunnel wash concepts (such as the model used in the IMO Car Wash listing), Star Car Wash specialises in high-quality hand washing and detailing.

The estimated initial franchise investment for a new Star Car Wash site typically ranges from AUD 500,000 to AUD 700,000 + GST, a figure that covers setup, equipment, and the initial franchise fees, positioning it as a substantial retail franchise opportunity.

How the Franchise Started?

Star Car Wash was founded in 2003 with the opening of its first site in Mascot, NSW. The company’s initial mission was simple: to offer Australia’s highest quality professional hand wash and detailing services.

At the time, the car wash industry was evolving, and Star Car Wash focused on setting a new benchmark for quality and customer service within the hand car wash segment. With a relentless focus on excellence, the business quickly grew, expanding to a second location in Gladesville, NSW, just two years later in 2005.

This initial determination to offer an unrivalled service has driven the brand’s expansion over more than 20 years, transforming a single site into Australia’s largest professional hand wash and detailing provider, with over 160 locations nationwide.
