Flagstop Car Wash Acquires Dave's Auto Spa

• Flagstop Car Wash acquired Dave’s Auto Spa, a full-service car wash operating two sites (in Bon Air and Brandermill).
• Flagstop plans to remodel Dave’s Auto Spa (along with another acquisition) to convert it from a full-service/flex model to their signature express-wash format.
• The deal expands Flagstop’s footprint across Central Virginia, bringing its total to 29 locations.

Flagstop’s acquisition of Dave’s Auto Spa signals continued consolidation in the Central Virginia car wash market, with strong regional operators absorbing legacy flex/full-service sites. By converting Dave’s to an express model, Flagstop is positioning itself to capture higher-volume, subscription-driven revenue in a market increasingly favoring automation and speed. The deal also reinforces Flagstop’s emergence as a dominant local platform, elevating competitive pressure on smaller independents and setting the stage for further roll-ups in the region.
