RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -

Spiffy said Wednesday it has purchased Pit Crew, an acquisition that not only expands the on-demand car care, technology and services company into Tennessee, but is likely to bring new preventative maintenance services into the Spiffy fold.

Pit Crew, which operates in the Tennessee cites of Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville, has primarily focused on oil and tire change services since its launch in August 2018. However, Pit Crew has dipped it toes into new services like providing replacement batteries, wiper blades, headlights and tail lights.

“Spiffy aims to gradually incorporate these services into its service offerings for individuals, as well as fleet clients through their Fleet Management as a Service (FMaaS) model,” the company said in a news release.

Spiffy chief executive officer Scot Wingo said in the release: “We’ve had our sights set on Tennessee for some time, and we quickly realized that the team at Pit Crew is doing a phenomenal job in Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville.

“Our companies are aligned in completely owning the customer experience for both consumer and fleet, which makes this acquisition exciting for both sides. We can’t wait to take what they’re doing nationwide while bringing wash and detail to these new cities in Tennessee.”

Pit Crew was co-founded by Harrison Collins, Adam Major and Josh Tillery, each of who will remain with the company to help with the transition and then move into new positions with Spiffy.

“When you transition your entire company and everything that you've worked hard to build, you want to feel certain about where you're hitching your wagon. Both (Spiffy co-founders) Scot and Karl have affirmed a lot of the factors that we were hopeful for,” Collins said in the release.

“Everyone at Spiffy has been so accommodating and energized, from leadership down to supervisors and technicians. It feels like the merging of two great families and for that, we're thrilled and grateful.”
