New car wash takes a hands-on approach By Crystal Elescano Record-Journal staff
Earlier this month, Magic Hands Hand Car Wash opened at 105 Washington Ave. in North Haven after relocating from Milford. Providing car wash and detailing services, Yvette Jimenez runs the business with her husband Joel Cruz. Jimenez was born in New York and raised in Connecticut. She is Colombian and the first in her family to be born in the United States. “My mother was born in Colombia, and I used to visit all the time,” she said. “Now with everything going on, and the business, I haven’t visited as much.” The couple recently moved to Hamden which prompted their decision to relocate the business as well. “We moved to Hamden and wanted to be closer to the area,” Jimenez said. “Due to relocating, the business shut down for three months before reopening. It was difficult but worth it.” See Car wash, A3
