OptSpot Operator Summit, August 31, 2026

What We're Covering

Here's what's on the table.

This isn't the full list. It's just enough to give you a sense of what's coming.

Building Your Text Club Faster

The bigger your list, the more everything else works. We'll show you how operators are growing their text clubs on-site, off-site, and everywhere in between.

Fundraising Programs

How to build a fundraising campaign that brings new customers into your wash, grows your list, and generates real revenue for you and the organizations you love.

Off-Site and Community Marketing

How to grow your text club everywhere your team goes — events, sponsorships, church partnerships, local businesses, and more.

Tools Your Team Can Use Every Day

The tools your CSAs, vacuum attendants, and managers can run on their own — so results don't depend on you remembering to send something.

Your Referral Program

Most OptSpot clients have it and don't know it. How to set it up, let your best customers do the marketing, and track who's driving new business your way.

Customer Service and Recovery

How to fix a bad experience before it turns into a Google review — and the tools to handle it in real time so customers come back instead of leaving.

Loyalty and Retention

The loyalty system that keeps retail customers returning and converts them to members when the timing is right, without your team having to manually drive it.

Review Building That Works

How to consistently build Google review velocity through your text club and your team — and why the words in those reviews matter more than the star rating.

The Dealership Program

A new OptSpot program being unveiled at this summit. If car dealerships are in your market, you'll want to be in the room when Levi walks through this one.

The Opportunity

Most OptSpot operators are only using about 20% of what's available to them.

That's not a criticism. It's just where most operators start. The other 80% is already part of your OptSpot partnership — you just haven't seen it yet.

Texts and promotions are just the beginning

Most operators start with marketing texts and flash sales — and stop there. But that's only the surface of what's built into your OptSpot partnership. There's a lot more sitting right underneath it.

The operators getting the most out of OptSpot use all of it

The car wash operators getting the best results from their OptSpot partnership aren't just using the top layer. They've built a real marketing system around everything it offers — and the results are meaningfully different.

The other 80% is already available to you

You don't need to upgrade your plan or buy something new. The tools the top operators are running are already part of your OptSpot partnership. This day shows you what they are and how to put them to work.

Why We Built This Day

Every tool we've ever built was designed to solve a specific problem.

Over the years, operators have come to us with real problems — hiring, customer service recovery, member retention, fundraising, review velocity, and more. Every tool in OptSpot exists because a real operator needed it.

The challenge is that showing everything would take multiple days and be overwhelming. So we did something different. We took the most utilized tools — the ones that solve the problems most operators are dealing with right now — and we're walking through each one in a single day. Not just what it does, but how to actually run it.

We know you've been doing the work. This day is about showing you what's already built for you.

10x ROI reported by operators using the tools built specifically for their biggest problems

1 Day To walk through the most utilized OptSpot tools — the problem each one solves and exactly how to run it

0 Fluff. This is a practical day. You'll leave knowing how to use what's already available to you.

“

I've been an OptSpot client for years. Most operators still think it's a text marketing company. It's a full-service marketing agency for car washes. When you actually use everything they offer, 10x ROI isn't an exaggeration, and your team has tools that make every part of the job easier. Most operators just never take the time to figure out what they have access to.

The Difference

Here's the difference between operators using 20% and operators using all of it.

Same partnership. Same plan. Very different results.

Using About 20% of OptSpot

Occasional
campaigns. Results when you remember to send something.

– Marketing is reactive, not systematic
– Team spending time on things that could run automatically
– Results are inconsistent month to month
– Hard to know what's actually working
– Only using a fraction of what's available

Where most operators are Getting started

Using All of It

Consistent
results. Marketing that works even when you're not thinking about it.

✓ Revenue growing consistently, month over month
✓ Operations running more efficiently with less manual effort

What the top operators are seeing 10x ROI

The good news The tools and strategies the top operators are using aren't exclusive to the biggest accounts. You already have access to them. This day shows you how to put them to work.

Already at your
fingertips.

What You'll Walk Away With

Here's what you'll walk out with.

A clear picture of what the most successful operators are doing to grow revenue and run more efficiently

Not theory. The actual strategies and tools the top OptSpot clients are running, shown to you by the people who built them.

Strategies your whole team can use, not just you

Tools your CSAs, vacuum attendants, and managers can run day to day — so the work doesn't all fall on you to implement.

A hands-on look at the tools, not just a description of them

You'll see how these programs actually work — including some you'll be able to try in the room. Not slides. The real thing.

Ways to use OptSpot that most operators have never thought of

From off-site events to team programs to community marketing — you'll walk out with ideas for your business that you didn't come in with, using tools you already have access to.

A clear sense of exactly what to do when you get home

You won't leave with a vague sense of inspiration. You'll know the specific next steps for your business and be ready to move on them.

A room full of operators who actually want to figure it out

The room is small on purpose. The conversations between sessions are often worth as much as the sessions themselves.

Who's Leading This Day

Led by the OptSpot team, with operators in the room.

This day is run by the OptSpot team — the people who built these tools and have seen what they solve across hundreds of car washes. A few operators will also share how they're running them and what the results look like.

No outside keynote speakers. No vendor pitches. Just the people who built these tools walking you through the ones that matter most — the problem each one solves and exactly how to use it.

Common Questions

FAQ

Who is this summit for?

Car wash owners, GMs, and marketing leads, whether you're on OptSpot or not. Single-location operators and multi-site groups are both welcome. If you run a car wash and care about retention, revenue, and getting more out of the tools you have, this day is for you.

Can I come if I'm not an OptSpot customer?

Yes. You're welcome here. This day is led by the OptSpot team and is built around showing car wash operators what's possible. If you leave wanting to know more about working with OptSpot, great. If not, you'll still walk out with a clear picture of the strategies the most successful operators are using to grow their business.

What does the $99 deposit cover?

It holds your seat. When you check in on August 31, the $99 is refunded to you. You attend for free. The deposit exists to keep the room full of operators who intend to show up.

What if I register and can't make it?

If you don't show, the $99 is forfeited. Room size is limited and every empty seat is a spot someone else could have had. If a real emergency comes up, email josh@optspot.com and we'll handle it like reasonable people.

Can I bring a team member?

Yes, up to three people per business. Each person needs their own registration and deposit. The more people from your team who hear this content, the easier it is to implement when you get home. We cap it at three per business to keep the room varied and the conversation useful for everyone.

What should I expect from the day?

Sessions run 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Breakfast is ready when you arrive at 8:00. Lunch is included on the fourth-floor terrace. Sessions are practical, not lecture-style. Expect real conversations and real numbers. You'll leave knowing exactly what to do next.
