Become an Independent Operator with IMO Car Wash.
The IMO Car Wash Group of companies (“IMO”) partners with independent operators across the UK, EU and Australia to run and grow successful car wash businesses within the local communities. If you are looking for a proven business opportunity with the backing of an established global brand, we’d love to hear from you.
Could this be the right opportunity for you?
The most successful independent operators contracting with us typically:
- Bring experience in business ownership, management, hospitality, retail, or customer-facing environments
- Enjoy working with the general public, and being part of a local community
- Take a proactive, hands-on approach to building and running their own business
- Have a natural ability to lead and develop a team
Why choose IMO Car Wash: An accessible, low-cost Business model
Initial costs are low, which makes starting up more achievable for you. Operators are asked to provide a small financial bond, which is held as security and returned to you at the end of the relationship. This offers you a lower-cost route into business ownership.
Dedicated operation support
From day one, independent operators benefit from contact with IMO’s experienced regional teams. Before you set foot on site as an operator, IMO will provide you with access to a structured training programme which covers the use of the car wash equipment and machinery, and the associated operational processes. The IMO regional teams will conduct regular site visits and will act as a contact point for you with IMO.
A proven, global track record
IMO Car Wash operates more than 700 locations across 12 countries, washing over 34 million cars every year. Independent operators are valued commercial partners, and we expect you to work with us to build strong, successful and sustainable local businesses.
Established brand with strong marketing backing
We invest significantly in marketing and brand awareness to drive customer footfall and boost site visibility. Our car wash sites are strategically positioned in high-traffic locations, including retail parks, supermarket car parks, and dealership sites.
Strong earning potential
As an independent operator, you’ll earn commission on every car washed at your site. Many independent operators also choose to run a valeting business alongside the car wash, opening up further income streams.
