    Strangest thing you've ever found

    We founde a loaded police womans revolver and $1000.00 cash in a bank deposit bag under the seat. In both cases the police women thought her gun was at home and the customer with the money thought he made his deposit. Integrity is everything.

    Professional detailers are my heroes

    Still after 38 years and going to work at 5 am I still love it. Time flies and the challanges are enormous but the satisfaction out weighs everything else. The average person hasen't a clue on how hard the work is or how hard it is to make it right.
