Three fixable problems draining your pipeline right now.
67%
of lost customers left because of lack of follow-up, not price

profit increase from just a 5% improvement in client retention

5–7x
more expensive to acquire a new customer than retain an existing one
— Harvard Business Review
Your existing Car Wash database is the cheapest revenue you'll ever generate. AVA works it 24/7 so you don't have to.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
We won't run paid ads for any HVAC business until the missed call recovery and review layer is live.
Running ads without MAYA and ROSA is paying for leads that leak straight back out. Most agencies start with ads because that's where they make margin. We start by stopping the leak — because that's where you make money.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Car Wash marketing different?+
Car Wash is recurring revenue disguised as one-off jobs. The marketing job isn't more leads — it's making sure every booked customer comes back on a cycle. We build the reactivation and nurture layer first, ad spend second.
How fast will I see results in my Car Wash business?+
MAYA and ROSA show up in the numbers in week one — recovered missed calls and new reviews. NIA and AVA compound over 30–90 days. Paid ads via SLOANE are turned on only after response and reviews are live.
Do you only serve Car Wash shops in Naperville?+
We're based in Naperville but serve Car Wash businesses across DuPage County, the Chicago suburbs, and all of Illinois. Everything is built around how Illinois customers actually search and book.
What does this cost for a Car Wash business?+
Pricing depends on which AI employees you deploy and whether you want us running paid acquisition. Most Car Wash shops start with the response + reviews layer and add acquisition once that's compounding.
Do I have to switch CRMs?+
No. We layer on top of what you already use. If you don't have a CRM, we set one up for you as part of onboarding — no extra software bill.
Do I need this before running ads?+
Yes. Running ads without MAYA, NIA, and ROSA in place is paying for leads that leak straight back out. We won't turn on paid spend for a Car Wash business until the response and review layer is live.
