⚪ Neutral, No Brakes / Site Scout

📍 Site Scout

Compare wash to wash, wash to empty corner, or just read any spot in America cold — traffic, demographics, competition, climate — free public data, explained in plain English. Scout a build site · size up a competitor · run due-diligence on a wash for sale. A screening tool, not a feasibility study — scout ten spots here before you pay a consultant to study one.

1 · SCOUT ANY SPOTType an address or tap the map. Works anywhere in the US — no login, no account, nothing to set up first.
2 · READ THE AREA REPORTTraffic, income, households, competitors, climate — pulled automatically and explained in plain English. No numbers to type.
3 · COMPARE ANYTHING — optionalSet a wash you know works as the yardstick, then grade anything against it: an empty corner to build on, a competitor's wash (⚔️ head-to-head), or a wash that's for sale.

⚡ Quick compare — no setup, just two names

Type any two washes — or a wash and an address — to see them side by side right now, with maps, a radar chart, and an AI read. Great for "how does mine stack up" or "what about that new place across town." For the full report and deep stats, use Scout a spot below.

Scout a spot

Type an address, an intersection — or the name of an existing car wash to go ⚔️ head-to-head (their corner vs your yardstick: competitive intel, or due-diligence on a wash for sale). Or just tap the map to drop a pin. Everything gets looked up automatically; you don't type any numbers.

optional extras — override traffic, add asking rent (skippable)
You don't need to fill this in — the tool pulls it from official traffic data. Only use this box to override the number (say you have a fresher count) or if the lookup came back empty.
This one you bring yourself — rent is a private deal, not public data, so it only exists in the property listing or the broker's quote to you. Type what they're asking and the report adds a reality check: "this spot needs ~X cars/day to cover rent." Skip it and everything else still works.

Grade spots against a wash you know

Optional — skip it and the area report above works fine. Add a wash that already works (your own, or a busy one you'd love to compete with) and every spot you scout also gets a single 0–100 grade measured against it — your own yardstick, not national averages.

optional extras — override traffic, add your average ticket (skippable)
Cars per day past that wash (AADT). Leave blank and the tool pulls it automatically. Type a number only if you already know it or the lookup came back empty.
What a typical car pays. Sharpens the "needs ~X cars/day for rent" line. Skip it and that math falls back to a typical $15 ticket.
