“Thanks Jeff, we’ve really enjoyed working with you and have gained a lot of value as an organization. Hope to catch up soon!”

Your insights, support, and efforts have been instrumental in shaping my views on the business along with Spark. From helping us drive higher wash quality standards to guiding our preventative maintenance programs, your contributions have made a meaningful impact on our Operations. We sincerely appreciate your partnership and the value you’ve brought to our team.

Spinx entered the tunnel car wash category in 2018 and grew to 9 units in operation by the end of 2023. We learned a lot during this time as we applied all our best-in-class convenience store operation tactics and plans to this platform. In 2023, we contacted Jeff Fazio to help us better understand the category and prepare for the next level of our business. Jeff’s wealth of knowledge on all fronts, from construction, site planning/development, marketing, operations, chemicals, equipment, etc., was impressive and a massive resource that Spinx needed. We at Spinx have worked with the business and grown to be internal experts in our related fields, but Jeff brought the whole package and was able to connect all those dots. Over 9 months, he helped us identify deficiencies in our current construction timeline, equipment design, marketing strategies, and highlighted operational challenges. During this time, we also had 2 Grand Openings that Jeff participated in, improving our launch program, and providing commentary on bottlenecks with suggestions on how to prevent them going forward. With Jeff’s help, we’ve shifted the focus and hopefully changed the course of the business to become a better, more profitable section within Spinx’s portfolio. I want to thank Jeff personally, as I worked with him directly for those 9 months, and the wealth of knowledge that was downloaded into me has made me a better Category Manager and car wash operator.
