FREMONT, Calif. — Convenience-store retailer Loop Neighborhood joined forces with automobile services app Way.com. Way began powering the drive-thru car washes at multiple Loop locations in January.
Way.com, a financial technology platform for car ownership, launched in 2016 with its parking reservation platform. It has since added multiple verticals including car washes, auto insurance, auto refinance, gas discounts and roadside assistance services. The company uses artificial intelligence (AI), including dynamic pricing engines, to help customers receive the best rates and savings on car expenses, the company said.
“The synergy with Loop couldn’t be more perfect, as they have modernized the convenience store for the great benefit of their customers, while we’ve taken a tech-forward approach to revitalize the antiquated ways of the auto services industry,” Way’s Car Wash Vertical Vice President Ro Krishna said.
“When we look for partners at Loop, we ensure they fit our culture and customer first mission,” said Pervez Pir, president of retail of Loop Neighborhood. “Our customers expect us to provide services and amenities that create a greater value and confidence for their automotive experiences.”
