Versatile 9-bay commercial property available in Copperas Cove, Texas, priced at $195,000 for a 3,465 square foot building on 0.59 acres. Originally built in 1977 as a car wash, this property features nine drive-in bays with grade-level doors, offering immediate potential for multiple commercial uses.

This building is ideal for a buyer looking to reopen as a self-serve or automatic car wash, convert into an automotive repair or service shop, or repurpose as a small storage facility by closing the bay doors. The nine-bay layout provides exceptional flexibility that few commercial properties at this price point can match.

The property is located in Copperas Cove, a growing Central Texas city of nearly 38,000 residents adjacent to Fort Cavazos, one of the largest military installations in the world. The local population is young, with a median age of 32 and an average of 2.0 vehicles per household, creating steady demand for automotive services. Median household income is approximately $69,000 and trending upward.

Copperas Cove currently has limited car wash competition, with only three operators serving the entire market: two national express tunnel chains and one independent self-serve location. There is no self-serve car wash operating at this address, meaning a buyer could fill a gap in the local market by reopening the facility.

The U.S. car wash industry generates approximately $18.7 billion annually, with 79 percent of drivers now using professional car washes compared to just 47 percent in 1996. Self-serve formats offer particularly attractive economics with low labor requirements, making them well suited for owner-operators or semi-absentee investors.

At $195,000 for a 3,465 SF building with nine bays on over half an acre, this property is priced well below what it would cost to build a comparable facility from the ground up. Utilities have been maintained on the property continuously since it was built.
