Rob Sacco: Waves Car Wash

In this episode of The Wash Exchange, Blair Woolcott sits down with Rob Sacco, the owner behind Waves Carwash — voted the No.1 car wash business nationally and the dominant wash brand in the ACT, with sites now stretching into Victoria. Waves Carwash Rob has built Waves into a genuine multi-format operation: full-service tunnel washing, 24/7 self-serve bays, touch-free automatics, and Enhanced Care detailing across five Canberra locations — plus a family-friendly flagship with a café and kids' play area that turns a car wash visit into a destination. Waves CarwashWaves Carwash We get into how Rob thinks about site format mix, why full-service still works when the industry is racing to express, building the Wash Club membership base, staffing a labour-heavy model, and what it takes to expand a regional brand interstate. If you operate a wash — or want to — this one's worth your time. 🎧 Listen on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Brought to you by Slipstream Pro.
