After more than 25 years of detailing cars of all shapes and sizes, it’s still a profession that brings Allan Natrall joy.

He started cleaning cars at a West Vancouver shop at the age of 15, and about eight years ago, family and friends talked him into launching his own detailing business.

“I like looking at the cars when they look brand new again,” the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh entrepreneur explained. “I love the joy that comes from watching it shine and seeing people smile when they pick up their car and tell me I did a great job.”

Allan operates Allykat’s Car Wash from his home in Eslha7an (North Vancouver), weather permitting. From sedans to shuttle buses, he’s cleaned it all.

Allan owns all his equipment and offers a full-service cleaning, including windows, dashboards, cupholders, mats, seats, tire rims, and more.

His advice for other aspiring Indigenous business owners is simple: “Be passionate and do whatever makes you happy.”
