Dahm and his brother Joe Dahm started the first automated car wash in Indiana in 1950 with Mike's Minit Man car wash. The company eventually had more than 40 locations before splitting into Mike's Carwash and Crew Carwash in 2014. 

Dahm was a former President of the International Carwash Association and was inducted into the Car Wash Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame Award recognizes those car wash professionals, operators as well as suppliers, who have made a lasting impact on the professional car wash industry. It is the industry and association's highest honor.
