B3 Solutions

What B3 Solutions does

B3 Solutions, LLC is a privately held car wash system distribution company headquartered in Abita Springs, Louisiana, founded by Butch Martin III and Nicole Martin. The company serves car wash investors and operators across Louisiana and Mississippi through a one-stop-shop model covering site selection, facility design, equipment procurement, chemistry supply, and post-installation service. Its core products are 120 Ft. and 85 Ft. express tunnel configurations and a 60 Ft. in-bay express wash, sourced as an authorized NCS distributor for the territory and complemented by strategic partnerships with PDQ, Micrologic, Laguna, and PurClean.

The business operates on a sales-led, direct go-to-market combining field sales for new investor engagements with inside sales for quoting and ongoing service requests. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (one-time equipment and recurring chemistry purchases) and professional services (site consulting, preventive maintenance, emergency seven-day service, and parts). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with credit account and card-on-file options available for established customers. Marketing is relationship-driven, supported by a company website, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

The customer base is concentrated in two adjacent Gulf South states and is predominantly composed of first-time car wash investors and small multi-site operators, with one named enterprise relationship (Louisiana 1st Choice Auto Auction) spanning over a decade. The company is founder-owned with no external institutional funding and operates with a small team of 11–50 employees. No revenue figures are disclosed, and the company does not advertise capabilities outside of its two-state territory, indicating a deliberately focused regional strategy anchored on the founder's industry relationships since 2008.
