The 610 Car Wash celebrates its 30 year anniversary this year and the Car Wash preaches customer service over everything else. Majority owner and founder Gary Tardiff believes that a happy customer is the key for a successful business. Tardiff is a big believer that if there are happy customers and happy employees then the profits will come.
âBig corporations are getting away from the âcustomer touchâ,â Tardiff said. âWe never think about making profit. Weâre not out to save money, weâre out to do a good job.â
Tardiff got the idea of starting the Car Wash business when his brother called him on New Yearâs Day and asked him âWhat do you know about car washes?â Tardiff then spent the next day on the phone from 8 a.m. to about 5 p.m. calling different car washes and asking about how they ran their business.
