The Story of Matthew Martelle, and his Team.

From a Garage in Vermont to the Roads of Florida: The Journey of Matthew Martelle and Matt's Wash & Wax

​

At just 13 years old, Matthew Martelle opened the doors to his very first auto detailing business, working out of his parents' garage in Underhill, Vermont. What started as a passion quickly evolved into a career path. After graduating high school, he took a leap forward by renting his first commercial space on Route 15 in Jericho.

With time, hard work, and the foundational knowledge he gained from the Center for Technology in Essex, Matthew developed a formal business plan. This plan helped him secure a loan to purchase land and build the current Matt's Wash & Wax location. As the business grew, so did his vision.

Matthew gradually assembled a trusted team of employees who shared his values and commitment to excellence. His strong passion for community involvement played a major role in his business’s growth. As demand increased, he soon outgrew the Jericho location and expanded operations by renting an additional space on Corporate Drive in Essex, Vermont.

Today, Matthew, his wife Alicia, and their two children live full-time in their motorhome, exploring the beautiful landscapes that make this country home. During the winter months, the family—who homeschool their children under Florida’s umbrella program—spends time traveling to national parks, roadschooling, and teaching their kids about the rich history and natural beauty of the United States.

Now, Matthew is taking the next big step: launching a mobile detailing business in Central Florida. He’s excited to bring the same core values, work ethic, and attention to detail that built his success in Vermont to a whole new region. With a reputation built on integrity, service, and passion, Matthew Martelle is ready to make an impact once again—this time, on the roads of Florida.
