HC Spiffy Auto Spa and Nifty Car Rental are jointly located at 3801 N. 14th Street in Ponca City. Both ventures came to life out of different forms of necessity. The timing just happened to align so the businesses could be housed in a shared location. HC Spiffy Auto Spa is owned by Heather Cannon and Nifty Car Rental is owned by her husband Michael Mattera. This duo is proving that when partnerships are strong, they can work in more ways than one.

While Heather Cannon Honda is a local Honda dealership primarily selling new and used cars, the dealership also offers many other services. Among those services is car detailing. Heather often travels the country to find used cars to bring back to Ponca City. The dealership also gets many cars as a result of trade-ins when a customer is getting a new vehicle. These cars need a good detail job done to get them looking brand new for Heather Cannon Honda customers. The detail bay at HCH was always busy, showing Heather that she and her team could use more space for this service. This is where the idea for HC Spiffy Auto Spa came to life.
