A new industry podcast has launched, creating another platform for conversations about the people, businesses and ideas shaping the car wash sector.

The Car Wash Podcast, hosted by Stephen Hehir, covers everything car wash related. Designed for existing operators, industry professionals and those considering entering the market. Through conversations with people working across the sector, the podcast aims to share practical experiences, industry perspectives and a greater understanding of what it takes to buy, operate and grow a car wash business.

CWSA is pleased to support this new industry initiative and help introduce it to our network.

For the podcast’s second episode, CWSA Managing Director Rory Hilton joins the conversation to discuss the Australian car wash industry.

Across the episode, Rory shares his perspective on the sector for buyers, sellers, operators and those considering entering the industry. The discussion explores CWSA’s work across car wash sales, acquisitions, leasing and ownership, as well as the specialised nature of navigating opportunities within this market.

As Managing Director of Car Wash Sales and Advisory, Rory works closely with business owners, investors and industry stakeholders across Australia. He also serves on the boards of the Australian Car Wash Association and the International Carwash Association, giving him insight into both local market conditions and broader industry developments.

Whether you already operate a car wash, are considering your first acquisition or want to learn more about the industry, The Car Wash Podcast offers a new way to hear directly from people working within the sector.
