STORY OF CAR DREAMS DETAILING
It Started in a Garage in the 1970s
Long before Car Dreams Detailing had a shop on Justus Drive, it started the way a lot of real craft businesses do, in a garage. In the 1970s, Andrew's father and uncle began detailing cars simply because they loved the work, taking real pride in getting a finish right.
Andrew grew up around that. Watching his father and uncle work, he developed the same obsession with perfect finishes that now defines Car Dreams, the kind of attention to detail you can't fake and can't rush.
From Detailing to Supplying the Industry
Andrew's path didn't go straight from garage to shop. He first built his own venture, creating and supplying custom detailing products—refining his product knowledge from the ground up, not just the application side of the craft. That company, Car Dreams Supplies, has spent over 20 years as a supplier to the detailing industry itself.
That's a meaningfully different foundation than most local shops start from. Car Dreams Detailing didn't just learn how to apply products well—it grew out of a business that helped make the products in the first place.
Today: A Dad & Daughter Team
Car Dreams Detailing today is run by Andrew and his daughter, Lexi—three generations of the same family, all shaped by the same standard: deliver results you won't find anywhere else.
With over 40 years of combined experience across detailing, paint correction, ceramic coating, and even yacht care, the team brings a depth of product and process knowledge that's genuinely rare at the local level.
