These new store openings arrive as new customers continue to connect with the brand and recognize the importance of maintaining their vehicles. In fact, throughout 2020 and 2021, the brand, like the automotive industry at large, has proven resilient against the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gil-gonzalez-81372a1a9/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gil Gonzalez,</a> a Detail Garage franchisee with three locations in Southern California (<a href="https://www.detailgarage.com/ca_montclair.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Montclair</a>, <a href="https://www.detailgarage.com/ca_elmonte.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">El Monte</a> and <a href="https://www.detailgarage.com/ca_detailgarageriverside.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Riverside</a>), attested to the brand’s rapid growth and the family-like atmosphere.&nbsp;“A customer might come in and not have any knowledge of detailing, but we welcome them and will educate them on what the products do and how to properly apply the various products,” said Gozalez. “We want all customers to leave feeling like they are part of the Detail Garage family and encourage them to attend our community events, such as <a href="https://www.detailgarage.com/Event_Training.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926#events-section" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rides and Coffee</a>, or our <a href="https://www.smartdetailinguniversity.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=detail-garage-sees-record-openings-in-2021-aims-to-cross-100-unit-mark-in-2022-2717926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Smart Detailing University</a> training classes.”Gonzalez was the very first franchisee with the Detail Garage, and he says he knew the opportunity to grow with the brand was the perfect chance for him to not only educate others on the detailing industry but also foster a passion and community for cars.&nbsp;&nbsp;“I loved the idea of providing customers and car enthusiasts with the products and knowledge all under one roof,” said Gonzalez. “I am also a car enthusiast myself, and I knew that the environment was perfect for me. I love the whole business model — it’s not just a retail store selling products, it is designed to personally connect with customers.
