About Us | Diamond Shine Auto Wash

Marcus and Elena Rivera, founders of Diamond Shine Auto Wash

Our Story

Started Small, Grew Steady

Diamond Shine started in 2012 when Marcus and Elena Rivera noticed something missing in the Phoenix car wash scene: a place that was fast, affordable, and actually cared about your paint. Too many washes used harsh chemicals and rough brushes. They knew they could do better.

They opened a single-bay wash on Shine Boulevard with one simple promise: treat every car like it was their own. Word spread. Within two years, they expanded to a full tunnel wash with state-of-the-art soft-touch equipment and eco-friendly products.

Today, Diamond Shine serves over 50,000 cars per year and has more than 2,000 active monthly members. The equipment has changed, but the promise hasn't. Every car gets the same attention to detail that built this business from the ground up.

Our Facility

Built for Speed and Quality

Our 12,000 square foot facility on Shine Boulevard features a 120-foot express tunnel, four detail bays, a covered vacuum station, and a customer lounge with complimentary coffee and Wi-Fi.

We invested over $800,000 in equipment including a Sonny's Tunnel System, Simoniz ceramic coating applicators, and a closed-loop water reclamation system that recycles 85% of the water we use.

The entire facility is designed for flow. Most express customers are in and out in under 10 minutes, even on busy weekends. And our covered vacuum area means you stay cool while you finish up.
