Haynes spreads the word about his business through signage, local television and print advertising, and his Facebook page.

He also uses his business cards as a promotional tool. Each card has 10 boxes, and customers receive a check in a box each time they come to the shop. After 10 checks, customers receive a free service, explained the article. He credits his mom with the idea.

Various services are offered at the business, including: outside wash, tire and wheel scrub, vacuum, carpet scent, cleaning door jambs and window, debugging, tar removal, shampoo and more, stated the article.
