How Fast, Reliable Internet Powers Florida’s Largest Car Wash

When El Car Wash needed a trusted partner, company leaders quickly discovered Comcast Business offered tailored solutions for their growing needs in Florida – and beyond.

With every new location in the Sunshine State, El Car Wash continues to streamline operations and find new ways to elevate the customer experience. Jerry Gomez currently serves as the company’s Chief Information & Technology Officer. He said success is dependent on connectivity inside their facilities. They wash cars more efficiently when their equipment is powered by fast and reliable internet.

Gomez explained the Miami-based company faced a challenge early in their growth story. Separate contracts with multiple internet service providers slowed their ability to scale the business. They needed one trusted partner to help them expand across Florida, no matter the market.

Fortunately, El Car Wash found the solution when Gomez answered a call from Comcast Business’s John Fratamico. The account executive asked Gomez a simple question.

“What issue keeps you up at night?”

Gomez quickly answered and ultimately selected Comcast Business for El Car Wash’s internet needs.

“Our internet was sluggish. We were overwhelmed with contracts and really needed a single provider to help us get online,” said Gomez. “I recognized the Comcast brand and knew they could deliver a great product to meet our unique needs. The conversation with John turned into an incredible opportunity to provide seamless connectivity and help El Car Wash grow.”

With 85 locations scheduled to come online by the end of this year, El Car Wash counts on Comcast Business for tailored solutions. Gomez said he’s no longer worried about unreliable internet, sluggish sales systems or latency issues with security cameras.

Rich Rollins leads Comcast Business in Florida. Rollins said success stories like El Car Wash demonstrate how Comcast Business delivers for all, including large enterprises.

“We’re here to help every entrepreneur reach their potential,” said Rollins. “From the Florida Keys to the Panhandle, our teams are ready to earn our customers’ business. Our partnership with El Car Wash is the perfect example of how we can truly grow and scale with a company, even if it is outside of our existing footprint. We will bring our network to them.”

Jeff Buzzelli leads Comcast’s connectivity business in the state. He welcomed El Car Wash’s success and thanked their leadership for trusting Comcast Business to deliver for them.

“We’re extremely proud to partner with a Florida-based, fast-growing business like El Car Wash. Bringing this company the fast, reliable connectivity they need at the scale they are expanding is something a lot of other providers would not be able to do,” said Buzzelli. “Working with the El Car Wash team has been a pleasure, and we look forward to the continued partnership as they continue to grow and open new locations across the state.”

Gomez couldn’t agree more.

“Our top El Car Wash location in Doral washes 1,500 cars per day,” said Gomez. “Without the connectivity we have with Comcast Business, we couldn’t do that.”
