The Cumberland Times News reports the owners of three Diamond Shine car washes have closed the businesses, citing a difficult economy as the reason. Steve and Tammy Leydig of Hyndman, Pennsylvania, had five car washes at the peak of the business in the early 2000s. "We have been in this business for 25 years," Steve Leydig said. "We want to say thanks to all of our customers over the years. We made a lot of friends." The Leydigs purchased their first car wash, located beside Timbrook Nissan in Motor City, in 1992.

"Our second was the one in LaVale in 1995," Leydig said. "We owned one on Industrial Boulevard we got in 1998."

The Leydigs later added two more car washes — in Hannah Plaza, Cresaptown, and Somerset, Pennsylvania.
