For most of his life, Jake Jeffery has loved vehicles. “From a young age, I’ve always loved washing my parents’ car,” he said. “At 11, my parents were like, ‘My cars are always clean, you’ve got to stop washing them.’ “I had to find a way to keep washing cars and doing what I love.” Jeffery, now 16, launched Jake’s Car Detailing in 2023, a business that offers full cleanings for vehicles. “I started taking photos of them and shared them on social media,” he said. “The support has taken off.” Jeffery said a clean car can help people face the day. “Having a clean car definitely changes people’s mood,” he said. “If you get in a car and it’s dirty, it’s hard to stay motivated. “I love seeing people’s reactions to seeing their cars like they’re brand new.” For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
