Super Car Wash1, Southfield

Since opening its first location in 1977, Super Car Wash has grown into a thriving car-cleaning kingdom with 9 locations in the metro area. George, Todd, and Ryan Gesund and Heath Stack lead the effort to sanitize vehicles with sophisticated touchless air dryers and energy-conserving, computer-run gear. In addition to employing the robotic wiles of high-tech machinery, they protect paint jobs with coats of Simoniz wax and use biodegradable Armor All products and tear-free shampoo. The auto experts even offer free self-serve vacuums to clean out car interiors. Their commitment to the local community is manifest in a long history of supporting schools and nonprofits through fundraising assistance.
