When I say Kristy Hutchins is ready to shine, I mean it literally. She’s ready to shine your car, truck or van at Next Generation Auto Repair and Detail on Sparta Street.

“It’s nice to take something that looks like it’s been through the woods and make it look nice,” said Kristy. “Basically I offer bumper to bumper cleaning.”

Kristy said she discovered an interest in auto detailing when a friend asked her to clean up a truck that was about to be entered in a show.

“I spent all day on that truck and it ended up winning a trophy,” said Kristy. “That’s when I thought this would be something I’d like to do.”

The service can be as simple as a wash and wax. Or it can be more elaborate like shampooing the upholstery, vacuuming and cleaning the windows. Kristy’s husband, Alon, operates the auto repair shop and is well pleased with a commercial-grade vacuum they recently purchased that offers 150 pounds of suction.

“If it’s going to come up, this will pull it up,” said Alon.

To reach Next Generation Auto Repair and Detail, the number is 474-8248. The business is open Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
