Last Listing description (September 2026)

Magic Car Wash is a well-established multi-bay car wash facility positioned on a substantial 2,036sqm freehold landholding on Main Street, Bairnsdale - East Gippsland's primary commercial corridor and the region's largest town.
The site shares a direct boundary with Bunnings Warehouse and Repco, two of Australia's highest-traffic national auto and hardware retailers, ensuring exceptional daily exposure to vehicle-owning customers.
The business is offered for sale as a freehold going concern, meaning the land, buildings, and operating business are all included in the sale.

Dual Site Opportunity
A second car wash business is available for sale directly across Main Street from this property. Together, both sites represent a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire 100% of Bairnsdale's dedicated car wash market - effectively controlling the entire category in East Gippsland's commercial capital. Both sites are available separately or together. Enquire for further details.

Opportunity Highlights
Freehold going concern - land, buildings, equipment and business included
shared boundary with Bunnings and Repco - unrivalled anchor exposure
2,036sqm landholding with commercial zoning on Main Street
Located within one of regional Victoria's most active automotive precincts
Strong residential catchment of approximately 20,000 people
Gateway location driving consistent tourist and transient demand
Dual site opportunity to control the entire Bairnsdale car wash market.
