Our Story
Hi! My name is Sam Dean, I created Dean Auto Cleaning LLC in 2017 while finishing up my senior year in high school. I was working at my local Walmart after school and on the weekends. That summer, I had purchased a nicer car and learned how to properly keep it looking new. That turned into cleaning friend and family vehicles, eventually making double what I was at Walmart, in half the time! I left, and opened Dean Auto Cleaning in my parents garage.
Nine years later, we have grown into a community - in & around Pacific, Missouri. We offer quality service at an affordable price, because we work efficient & know stains best!
My crew and I work to ensure each clean is carefully completed. I love being able to employ many PHS and area college students throughout the year. We do our best to provide the deepest clean in our area, at a respectable price. Interior details are our specialty!
In 2022, I moved DAC out of my parents garage, where I’d started the business nearly 5 years earlier, into the front half of a 4800 sqft commercial garage space in Downtown, Pacific! Learn more about that process on the Shop page!
In 2025, I traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to the Detail King Training Facility to learn the art of paint correction from Barry Theal with SB3 Coatings and Jason Fung with Detail King. Dean Auto Cleaning is now a certified installer of SB3 and Jade ceramic coatings.
