Moore’s Detailing & Service Center

Phillip Moore was one of the first participants of the Start‐Up NY Program. He has reopened his family–owned business which focuses on auto detailing and repairs. In the heart of Downtown Syracuse, Moore’s business is a sole proprietorship marketing to individuals and businesses in the Syracuse University area. Within 2 miles of his business location are Crouse Hospital, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse University and all the small businesses surrounding each.

This business was started by Mr. Moore’s family over 40 years ago. Operation was suspended for a short while as the owner examined several options for continuation and expansion. He has now identified reliable, competent mechanics with whom he can rebuild the shop.

As a participant of the Start‐Up NY program, Mr. Moore has been able to access financial assistance. By working closely with the SBDC Advisor as part of this program, he has been able to complete his business plan which he has presented to VESID with a request for assistance acquiring tools and equipment for updating his shop. Moore’s Detailing & Service Center continues to thrive, building on its reputation and on the quality of service it delivers.
