Detailing, Wrap, Tint, PPF & Coatings Shop for Lease

138 Wescar Lane #2 · Carp · Ottawa West End

A clean, permitted shop available July 1, 2026, built out and ready to work. Start fresh with the bare space, or purchase the installed equipment and fixtures at a fair price to hit the ground running. Take it as a short-term sublease through October 31, 2026 — or pair it with a 3- or 5-year direct lease with the landlord to make it your permanent home.

Why it's available: Cleen Detailing is moving to a new shop in Nepean to keep our company vehicles more centrally located across Ottawa for our mobile detailing business.

Total contribution$2,960 + tax
What is the leasehold improvement contribution? It's a one-time buy-in to the permanent, permitted upgrades already made to the unit — the finished front office and the wet-rated, ESA-approved electrical. These improvements stay with the space, so you get the benefit right away, and into a direct lease if you take one — at a fraction of what they cost to build.
Direct Lease — with Landlord optional · 3 or 5-year term · from November 1, 2026
  • To be finalized directly with the landlord before you sign your sublease with Cleen Detailing.
  • Expect a nominal increase above the $2,400/month sublease rate.
  • This is what lets you keep the space long-term once the sublease period ends.

Optional Add-Ons

Pure-Water (RO) System Optional

The shop runs on well water, and it's very hard — left untreated it leaves spots and mineral marks on vehicles and builds up scale inside your equipment. The installed Culligan system turns that well water into clean, spot-free water that's ideal for washing, ceramic coatings, and prepping panels for wrap, PPF, and tint. Take it over as a lease assignment at the existing rate of $144.85/month + HST (about 16 months remaining, ending Nov 17, 2027). It's owned and serviced by Culligan — nothing to buy or install. Or skip it and bring your own water setup.

Optional Equipment & Fixtures — Available to Purchase

None of this is required — start fresh, or purchase any of it at a fair price to work from day one. See the full, up-to-date equipment list with current pricing here:
