The Huffman Car Wash was originally opened in 1939 as a gas station by Harold Huffman.  When deciding where to open his gas station, Harold chose the city of Dixon over Freeport. His gas station was what is now “Huffy's Gas Station”, and they have kept the "Huffy's" name even after being sold. It wasn't until 1968 that it became a car wash and was moved across the street to where Kahleel's is now. When Lyle Huffman came back from the army, he took over for his father because he had a great talent for fixing the equipment and running the business more than his other siblings, Graham and Bruce Huffman.

In 1983, the car wash's most valuable employee, Joe Rodriguez, started his job and has made a great reputation for himself as everyone's favorite car washer. The car wash would never run without him, as he handles all the daily interactions and keeps up his goofy, personable nature for everyone around him.

A year later in the spring of 1984, the car wash picked up shop and moved down the road to where it is today and has continued business ever since.

In June of 2022, we lost our beloved Lyle Huffman to a fight with cancer. While he was too sick to work, his son, Brad Huffman, began to start taking over tasks with Joe and eventually after Lyle passed, Brad and Joe took over running the beloved car wash to continue the Huffman legacy. They continue to make improvements and run a thriving car wash to tailor to any customers needs or wants today.
