When the finance bubble started to burst, Jim and Nikki decided it was time to start thinking about building their own business. Jim's love for cars drove their research process. Of all the car washes he'd visited, he noticed a pattern of cars being treated very roughly, and dirty equipment being used over and over again on different cars. Having detailed cars since the age of 14, Jim had perfected techniques and methods that none of the car washes in town came close to. From this dissatisfaction, the idea for Simon's Shine Shop was born. Simon's is different from other car washes in lots of ways, First of all, we use freshly washed mitts and microfiber towels on each car. That means a lot of laundry for us, but it's important since trapped grime and grit can scratch your car's finish. Secondly, our crew is seriously the best in town, with most being with us since our opening in 2004. Lastly, being unhappy with what were known to be the best on the market, we've developed our own line of car care products that we believe are the very best out there, and use these on each and every car that comes into the shop. And while car care is first and foremost at Simon's, care of our customers is important too! Nikki always hated visiting car washes since most of them had unfriendly staff, dirty work areas, and waiting rooms that were as about comfortable as a courthouse's. So she makes sure that the staff always has a smile, that there is free ( and good! ) coffee and tea, the latest magazines, a play area for the kids, and critically important, a spotlessly clean customer bathroom. We hope you'll come to Simon's Shine Shop for your next hand car wash or detail. We promise to take good care of your car - and you too!

If you have a nice car, and like to keep it that way, then this is the place to go to get it washed. Everything is by hand, the waiting room feels more like someones living room, and dogs are always welcome, (Simon is a dog) I would run errands for my cousin and he is a member there and would ask me to take his cars over to be washed from time to time, it was never a chore, I wouldnt say I loved going there like I would love going to an amusement park, but if you have to get your car washed, thats where I would do it.
