Car Wash Term

Express tunnel

A conveyor car wash where the customer stays in the car through an automated tunnel, the format most consolidators favor over full-serve or self-serve for its throughput and low labor.

Format drives both the economics and the buyer pool: an express tunnel with membership scales and sells to consolidators, while full-serve and self-serve trade on different, usually lower, multiples.
