Truck Wash Feasibility Study — Independent, Lender-Ready | LazrTek

For Developers · Entrepreneurs · Lenders

Know whether your wash will make money — before you spend a dollar on dirt.

A LazrTek feasibility study tells you whether your wash will make money before you commit capital: real truck counts, real competition, real capex, and a lender-ready pro forma. It’s built by developers with 35+ years and 118 facilities behind the numbers — and if the site fails, the study says so.

Developers & entrepreneurs

Your build/no-build answer

You get a defensible plan: what to build, what it costs, what it earns, and how to finance it — or a clear explanation of why this site fails and what profile would succeed.

The Honesty Clause

Sometimes the answer is “don’t build.”

A mediocre facility next to a major fleet hub outperforms a beautiful facility ten minutes off the corridor. We’ve told clients to wait, to move, or to walk away — and that’s exactly why our “yes” is worth something to a bank.

Straight Answers

Feasibility FAQ

What is a truck wash feasibility study?

A study that determines whether a proposed wash location can support a profitable operation: truck traffic and corridors, nearby fleets and distribution centers, competition, site conditions and utilities, construction and equipment costs, and modeled revenue and expenses across multiple scenarios.

Will lenders accept a LazrTek study?

Yes. Lenders and investors commission LazrTek studies directly to evaluate wash projects before funding. Studies include a defensible methodology, sensitivity analysis, and a clear go/no-go conclusion.

What if the study says the site won’t work?

Then we tell you — before you spend on land, permits, or steel. When a site fails, the report explains why and what profile of site would work instead.

How long does it take?

Most studies complete in four to eight weeks, depending on site access, data availability, and how many candidate sites are being compared.
