Westborough/Worcester – Wayne Haddad likes a dirty car.
“The dirtier, the better,” he said.
That’s because cleaning dirty cars is his business. Haddad Auto Detail, with locations in Worcester and Westborough, cleans and polishes a vehicle’s interior and exterior to perfection—by hand and by professionals.
Wayne has been in the auto detailing business since 1978. He’s run his flagship Worcester location for over 30 years, while the Westborough location has been around for more than a decade.
A vehicle’s interior takes a beating from kids, dogs, tools, sports equipment, and spilled food and drinks. The cloth, leather, and vinyl surfaces trap odor, dirt, and spills, the windows cloud over with haze and fingerprints, and dust and hair blanket every surface. Haddad eliminates the mess and grime with a full range of interior services, from basic window cleaning and light vacuuming to shampooing mats and carpeted areas. And deep cleaning—Haddad’s most popular interior service—hits the seats, the mats, the dash, the console, and every nook, cranny, and cup holder.
Tar, bugs, sap, tree litter, and dirt can stain and dull a car’s exterior finish and block drainage and air vents. Haddad handwashes the exterior, removes brake dust from tires and wheels, cleans the rocker panels of road tar, and applies carnauba wax for protection (and a spectacular shine). Haddad can buff out scratches and scuffs and will even bring in an outside expert to get rid of door dings.
Some customers get their cars detailed every three or four months, while others visit Haddad only after an incident, like something gets spilled or someone gets sick. Life happens, and much of it happens in our cars and trucks. Haddad is there to meet the challenge.
Getting a vehicle detailed makes financial sense, too, like at the end of a lease or right before trading in or selling a car. And after buying a used car, have Haddad clean it inside and out to remove anything left behind by the previous owner.
Haddad’s Worcester location has four bays, while Westborough has one bay usually staffed by Vito (he’s detailing the white BMW in the picture). Haddad also has fully-equipped trucks and vans to provide mobile cleaning and polishing.
Have Haddad Auto Detail clean your ride, and it will be safer, last longer, and be more enjoyable to drive. Leave the dirty cars for Wayne, and you’ll say, “The cleaner, the better.”
Haddad Auto Detail is located at 3 Union Street in downtown Westborough. The Worcester location is at the intersection of routes 290 and 146.
