Wims Hand Car Wash & Detail

07/17/2023

What I am about to say is tough for Mark and me, because after 10 years of serving our community as Wims Hand Car Wash & Detail — and as Wims Auto Detail — we have decided to close our business. Thank you all for your loyalty to us these past 10 years. We truly appreciate it and the many good friends we have made during that time. We have definitely learned the true meaning of community through each and every one of you. God bless you and stay safe…

After a long and relaxing winter indoors, we are again open for business for 2023! Now that Spring Break is over and we are all back home and back to work, we hope that one of your 2023 goals is to have a car free from winter debris and consider giving it a full Detail, Interior Detail or maybe just a Wash & Wax to freshen it up. Check out our website at www.wimshandcarwash.com, and give us a call at 574-213-3823 to set up your appointment today! We look forward to hearing from you!

The leaves are changing from different shades of green to a multitude of beautiful colors all around us… and almost as quickly as they change, they are floating to the earth and reminding us that winter is just around the corner. With that being said, we are closing up shop for 2022. But we will be opening up again in April of 2023, so that once again we can thoroughly clean your cars—inside and out—from the ravages of winter. In the meantime, have an enjoyable holiday season, and reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a long time. It may be the most meaningful gift they receive this year. And wherever you go, please drive safely…. Blessings…

“April showers bring May flowers.” Well, if the amount of rain we’ve been getting should be any indication, we should see A LOT of flowers by the time May arrives! But even though it seems that the rain is non-stop, that shouldn’t be the reason to put off getting your car cleaned—especially on the inside. So… we decided to give you an incentive! If you SCHEDULE your vehicle (for April or May) before April 30th, we will take 10% off ANY of our services shown on wimshandcarwash.com. Just touch the link below to see our Services, and then leave us a message at 574-213-3823, and we will give you a call back within a few minutes. The sooner you call, the better…

It’s March 2nd, and spring is just around the corner. We’re already experiencing temperatures in the 40’s now and then (and even the occasional 50+ degrees, when the sun is shining), giving us a sign that winter is on its “last legs.” It’s time to think about cleaning and revitalizing the car that has been stored in the garage all winter, or even giving some TLC to the vehicle that experienced the brunt of winter wear-and-tear, by making an appointment for a full Detail! On March 15th, we will start scheduling appointments for April. Our services run Monday through Friday, starting April 1st. (We provide pick up and delivery in the Elkhart area at no charge.) So take a look at your calendar, and give us a call at 574-213-3823 (starting March 15th). Our pricing can be found on the Services page at

Now, I know you’re thinking on a cold and snowy day like today, what do I care about getting my car detailed? It’s enough for me just to find a place to get my car cleaned on the outside, with the salt and chemicals constantly getting plastered on the paint and rims, much less seeing what said salt and chemicals are doing to the carpet! Well, I’m just letting you know that Wims Auto Detail is re-opening for business on April 1st! (For now, do what you can to get the salt off your carpet and mats, because we may not be able to remove it all if it builds up on the carpet, so it could become rock-hard.) Then after winter passes, give us a call to totally clean and revitalize your vehicle! We’ll start taking calls for April appointments in March, so put us on your speed-dial. In the meantime, drive carefully and stay safe…

Winter is creeping up on us, and before long, we’ll be enjoying a hot beverage by a roaring fire in the fireplace, watching the snow float gently to the ground. And with winter approaching, Wims is closing its doors until next spring. We’ll be opening back up around April 1st for Details and Wash & Wax’s. We’ll keep you informed of our re-opening in 2022 as the time draws near. In the meantime, drive carefully and stay safe...

Now, nearly a year after we decided to “close our doors” for a while because of Covid, we are slowly returning to doing Details, Interior Details and Wash & Wax’s. The key word is “slowly,” because we are still being cautious with the pandemic going on around us. If your car or truck needs cleaning, please give us a call at 574-213-3823, so we can set up an appointment for you. Check out our website at: www.wimshandcarwash.com. In the meantime, stay safe...

While we were busy detailing cars for a little while this summer, we made the difficult decision in late June/early July to shut down Wims for the rest of the summer, since we saw that there was no decrease in COVID-19 numbers in our county. Mark and I have chosen, out of necessity, to self-quarantine as much as possible. Since it appears that now the COVID numbers are on the rise again, Wims will be shut down for the rest of 2020 and will not re-open until at least March of next year. There most likely will be no more posts on this page until that time. We ask that you take this pandemic seriously and do whatever you can to stay safe. It is real and should not be taken lightly. But this, too, shall pass. Take care, and we’ll see you next year.

Well, Wims has been back up and running for over a week now. And have we been busy! Having contact with only one person at a time—while of course, social distancing—makes it easier for us to do our job. And cleaning cars is what we love to do! The most exciting thing that has happened in the past week, though, is that we have a new website! It’s basically the same as the old one, but in a new format. It will also change formats to fit cell phones, tablets or computers. When you get a chance, we’d love for you to check it out. It’s not completed yet, so know that more information will be added very shortly...

Wims Hand Car Wash & Detail provides a gentle thorough cleaning of your vehicle inside and out, serving the greater Michiana area.
