Downtown Orangevale Car Wash has opened a nearly 4,800-square-foot facility in Orangevale, California, designed to offer more than a traditional car wash. Owners Cliff Wylie and his son Jeremy developed the business as a community-focused destination, incorporating a dog wash, entertainment features, family-friendly amenities and a membership-based model.
The project was shaped by years of market research and planning, with the Wylie family focused on understanding local demand and creating a customer experience that would stand out in a competitive industry. Community involvement is also central to the business model, with plans to support local animal rescue organizations, youth sports leagues, fundraising activities and other community programs.
To support construction and equipment costs, the owners utilized SBA 504 financing. The program provided long-term, fixed-rate financing and lower down payment requirements, helping the Wylie family move their ground-up development project forward while navigating the complexities of construction and financing.
