Larger Building Brings BTBM Enterprises Together in One Location
Grant County’s fastest growing detailing and janitorial services provider, Bill the Buff Man Automotive Detailing & Janitorial Services, and The West Coast Hogfather Motorcycle Detailing have consolidated their two locations into a 6,000-square-foot facility at 1080 Basin Street NW. The new location is a couple of miles up the road from their former location, and ¼-mile north of D.K.’s Drive-In in Ephrata. They have launched a brand new mobile-friendly website as well: www.billthebuffman.com.
According to Bill “the Buff Man” Quinn, the upsizing brings together all three of BTBM’s professional cleaning ventures (automotive, marine, commercial fleet and large equipment/machinery detailing; motorcycle detailing; and commercial janitorial services) into one location for the first time, and allows him to also expand the retail end of his automotive detailing business.
“It will be good to have everyone from the auto detailing, motorcycle detailing, and janitorial services all together in one place so we can work more as a team,” Quinn says. “We have also had for a long time the potential to offer our customers some of the best automotive car care products and accessories like WeatherTech floormats and Sonax Do-It-Yourself car care products, but we have not had enough display space at our old location to promote them properly. We will also be offering some new services over the next few months.”
Bill the Buff Man’s automotive detailing division includes much more than cleaning cars and trucks. They pressure clean large farm and construction equipment, machinery, and semi trucks; washes and details the interior and exterior of all types of boats, fleet and transportation vehicles, RVs, and even small aircraft; they specialize in the paint correction and reconditioning of older vehicles and classics; prep classics and exotics for car shows and auctions; provide minor repair services like scratch and chip, headlight, and windshield repair; and specialize in the application of durable, long-lasting protective coatings.
Last spring, Bill the Buff Man, who is a 3x member of the elite Air Force One Detailing Team assigned to restoring the original paint and brightwork on the original Air Force One presidential jet at Seattle’s Museum of Flight, trained with AFO team member and motorcycle detailing aficionado “Dirty Harry” Sandwith on motorcycle detailing, after which Quinn opened The West Coast Hogfather. The Hogfather takes the intricacies of detailing bikes of all kinds to a level unseen in the Columbia Basin.
Quinn’s wife, Lynne also runs the commercial janitorial side of the business, BTBM Business Solutions, maintaining office buildings and work spaces throughout Grant County.
“This new building provides showroom space for a proper display of our WeatherTech and Sonax products, and our overall workspace allows us to clean cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, boats, and even a tractor or road paver, side-by-side,” he says. “It is also a better space in which to hold open garages where we train car and truck owners on the proper use of DIY products, and is a true studio atmosphere for applying protective coatings, one of the hottest tickets in automotive appearance today.”
Bill the Buff Man will announce a Grand Opening at their location sometime this spring but they are officially open for business in their new building starting this week.
