BUSINESS PROFILE: Detailer officially opens shop in former Welchville School

OXFORD — A new detailer officially opened shop in Oxford Dec. 17, but he is no ordinary automotive detailer. Scott Macha, of Total Eclipse Auto Detailing & Design, is dually certified by the International Detailing Association and the Detailing Success Network, and he has twice been selected as a member of the Air Force One Detailing Team at Seattle’s Museum of Flight.

Macha and his wife, Elizabeth, bought the historic 6,000 square-foot Welchville School building at 136 School House Road in Oxford and have opened an automotive and motorcycle detailing and paint correction shop, a U-Haul dealership and motorcycle storage center.
Built in 1885, the repurposed schoolhouse is more than four times larger than Macha’s former shop in Yarmouth, with room to fully detail three vehicles at a time, and enough utility space to store 10 bikes. Macha is also a paint correction specialist who is certified in paint correction and the installation of Gtechniq and Inspiration ceramic coatings.
They will celebrate an early open house on Saturday, Dec. 29, with their 3rd Annual Operation Sleigh Shine. The Machas started Operation Sleigh Shine three years ago to help a family of an active member of the armed forces that is either struggling financially or needs help for other reasons during the holiday season.
At least three more Air Force One detailers and members of an elite group of detailers, The Detail Mafia, will join Macha in performing a complete interior and exterior revitalization detail with a paint correction and ceramic coating on the family’s automobile.
They will also send the family home with a gigantic bundle of wrapped new Christmas gifts. For more information, contact Scott or Elizabeth Macha at 860-576-3959 or 207-539-4399.
