Here in Marple, two young entrepreneurs are proving that hard work, dedication and a love for cars can drive big dreams forward. Chris Solakian and Kevin Wallace are the proud co-founders of Pristine Worx Auto Detailing, a locally-owned business that’s quickly gaining attention for its top-tier car care and customer-first approach. You can find them on the lower level of Suds Factory Car Wash in Broomall.
After working side-by-side at Suds Car Wash Factory, Kevin and Chris developed more than just a professional bond — they discovered a shared vision for what car detailing could and should be. In 2024, they turned that vision into a reality by launching Pristine Worx Auto Detailing, a full-service detailing company built on the foundation of quality, convenience and community.
Chris started working at Suds Car Wash Factory in 2021. A Marple native and 2021 Marple Newtown High School grad, Chris said he developed a strong work ethic from a young age and often had two jobs. Eventually, he became an Assistant Manager at Suds, and with the support of his friend and colleague Kevin, they pitched the idea of a car detailing business to the owners of Suds.
Kevin is studying Business Administration at Neumann University. “With Kevin’s background and understanding of running a business, he’s an ideal partner,” said Chris. Originally from Maryland, Kevin said his passion for business comes from his family, many of whom are entrepreneurs. “Growing up, I watched my parents run a construction business in the DC area,” he said. “I really like the idea of being your own boss.”
Chris Caporale, co-owner of Suds Factory Car Wash, said that Suds is proud to support Chris and Kevin as they grow Pristine Worx Auto Detailing out of the Suds Factory location. “Watching two young entrepreneurs turn their passion for detailing into a thriving business has been inspiring—not just for us, but for the community,” he said. “Their drive and work ethic are exactly what make small businesses succeed.”
Kevin and Chris have curated a menu of services that range from quick, one-hour refreshes to deep-clean, full-service detailing packages that leave your car looking showroom-new. Whether it’s restoring the gleam of your paint job, removing months of grime from your rims or giving your interior a fresh new feel, Pristine Worx Auto brings precision and professionalism to every vehicle.
What sets them apart is also their commitment to customer satisfaction. “If a client isn’t 100% happy, we’re not finished,” said Kevin. “Pristine Worx offers a 3-day detail warranty. If something isn’t quite right, customers can bring their vehicle back within 72 hours and the team will make it right at no extra cost.”
Not only do Chris and Kevin have a deep passion for auto detailing, but they also have a strong commitment to supporting their local community. That’s why they chose to become advertising Sponsors of our hometown magazine. “For the past few years, we’ve enjoyed reading about our friends and neighbors in the magazine,” said Chris. “We’re excited to join that tradition and share our story, too.”
Pristine Worx Auto Detailing has become the go-to solution for busy parents to keep their vehicles clean without sacrificing precious time. With their fast, reliable and high-quality car care services, they’re a convenient way for families juggling school runs, practices and errands to maintain a spotless ride. “We’ve also been proud to serve township administrators Larry Gentile and Joe Romano, who often rely on their vehicles for daily operations and community outreach,” said Chris. “They trust our team’s professional attention to detail.”
Chris Caporale said that Chris and Kevin represent the future of entrepreneurship — taking risks, putting in the hard work and building something of their own. “At Sud’s Factory, we love being a launchpad for businesses like Pristine Worx Auto Detailing and are excited to watch them continue to shine,” he added.
