About us

Built for People In Service Drives By People From Service Drives.

EZ Wins wasn't dreamed up in a boardroom. It was built by people who spent years in service departments — running the drive, chasing numbers on whiteboards, and living the same grind you're living now. Between us, we've held nearly every seat in fixed operations, from parts puller to fixed operations director. We built the tool we always wished we'd had.

The team

Gary Daniel

Founder

With over 30 years of automotive experience, Gary Daniel has been at the forefront of the automotive industry in leadership and performance. Beginning his career as a technician and rising through the ranks, Gary held positions as Shop Foreman, Service Advisor, Service Manager, Parts Manager, and eventually Fixed Operations Director. In 2015 Gary took on the general manager role for Chris Collins Inc, a training firm for automotive service operations. With the knowledge and expertise of operating a fixed operations company, Gary created and developed solutions that helped his clients enhance their performance above exceptional norms. During his time as general manager, he made custom training programs for Penske Automotive Group, Lithia Automotive Group, and General Motors of Canada, to name a few. As a co-owner of JDI Enterprises and founder of EZ Wins, Gary uses his unique combination of dealership and consulting expertise, along with his master architectural skills, to develop training programs that provide exceptional results.

Jair "Coach J" Martinez

Mack Robinson School of Business at Georgia State University and post baccalaureate from the Johnson School of Hospitality at Cornell University, Coach J has more than twenty years of experience as a top performer, leader, and educator in automotive fixed operations.

Blake Daniel

Co-founder & CPO

Blake spent nearly a decade in fixed operations, starting as a parts puller and working his way up to service manager. Along the way he became the data guy — the one turning messy dealership numbers into decisions people could actually act on. EZ Wins is what happens when that hands-on service experience meets a real knack for data: a platform that surfaces what matters and gets advisors selling.
