Know whether your wash will make money — before you spend a dollar on dirt.
An independent, lender-ready feasibility study: real truck counts, real competition, real capital numbers, and a pro forma built by people who have developed washes for 35+ years.
Two Clients, One Study
Built for the borrower. Trusted by the lender.
Your build/no-build answer
You get a defensible plan: what to build, what it costs, what it earns, and how to finance it — or a clear explanation of why this site fails and what profile would succeed.
Independent underwriting support
Commission the study directly. Methodology, data sources, and sensitivity scenarios are documented so the analysis holds up in credit committee.

What’s inside a LazrTek feasibility study
| Section | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Market demand | Truck counts, corridor flows, distribution centers, fleet depots, and washable population within the draw radius |
| Competition | Every competing wash mapped with pricing, capacity, condition, and vulnerability |
| Site evaluation | Access and turning geometry, water/sewer capacity, power, drainage, zoning, environmental (NPDES) exposure |
| Wash-type recommendation | Drive-through vs. gantry vs. hybrid; trailer washout and specialty add-ons where the market supports them |
| Capital estimate | Site work, building, equipment, water treatment, technology — a real budget, not a brochure number |
| Pro forma | Revenue and expense model with fleet-contract ramp, staffing, chemistry, and utilities |
| Sensitivity analysis | Best/base/worst scenarios: what breaks the deal, and how much cushion exists |
| Financing pathways | Debt, leasing, and LazrTek equity-contribution options matched to the project |
The Honesty Clause
Sometimes the answer is “don’t build.”
A mediocre facility next to a major fleet hub outperforms a beautiful facility ten minutes off the corridor. We’ve told clients to wait, to move, or to walk away — and that’s exactly why our “yes” is worth something to a bank.

Feasibility FAQ
What is a truck wash feasibility study?
A study that determines whether a proposed wash location can support a profitable operation: truck traffic and corridors, nearby fleets and distribution centers, competition, site conditions and utilities, construction and equipment costs, and modeled revenue and expenses across multiple scenarios.
Will lenders accept a LazrTek study?
Yes. Lenders and investors commission LazrTek studies directly to evaluate wash projects before funding. Studies include a defensible methodology, sensitivity analysis, and a clear go/no-go conclusion.
What if the study says the site won’t work?
Then we tell you — before you spend on land, permits, or steel. When a site fails, the report explains why and what profile of site would work instead.
How long does it take?
Most studies complete in four to eight weeks, depending on site access, data availability, and how many candidate sites are being compared.
