About us

Three friends, one garage, a lot of soap.

Soapy Bros started the way most good things start: three high schoolers who loved cars more than they loved sitting still.

We're three high school students from Iowa City who grew up around cars. Weekends meant washing our own rides in the driveway, arguing about which wax actually worked, and spending way too long trying to get one stubborn water spot off a windshield. What started as pride in our own cars turned into something bigger when neighbors started asking if we'd do theirs too.

None of us had a shop growing up, so we built one out of buckets, microfiber towels, and a lot of trial and error. We watched, practiced, and learned the difference between a car that looks clean and a car that actually is clean. Every detail we do now carries that same standard we held ourselves to when it was just our own cars on the line.

We started Soapy Bros because we wanted to build something real while we were still in school, not wait until we graduated to start working hard at something we cared about. Every car we detail is a chance to prove that age doesn't decide the quality of the work, effort does. If you give us a shot, we won't take it lightly.
