A local college student’s auto detailing business has grown from helping family and neighbors to servicing the vehicles of professional athletes across New England. While still a junior in high school, Connor Heagney searched YouTube for car detailing videos and decided to give the business a try. “It started off with friends and family,” said Connor Heagney. “And then I’d go on Facebook and the town group posts and say, hey, I’m a 17-year-old starting a new business. If you’d like to support me, it would mean a lot to me.”Heagney launched Heagney Auto Detailing with just $800. What started as a side hustle required plenty of trial and error, but as his customer base grew, so did his confidence.
