Everett Street Autoworks manages the needs of auto owners with the modern responsibilities of a green business. As an EcoBiz-certified establishment, the shop uses recycled anti-freeze when possible, recycles all their used oil filters, and utilizes only environmentally friendly degreasers for cleaning. Inside the 10,000-square-foot garage, a team of ASE-certified technicians tackles factory-scheduled maintenance, oil changes, or full-scale engine repairs. Located near the city’s light rail, Everett Street Autoworks offers patrons alternative commuting options including a free shuttle or pony.

Owners Mike and Bob created Pro-Tek Automotive as a response to a proliferation of other garages' sloppy work, inferior components, and unfair prices. The two combine their more than 35 years of experience in building and tuning foreign and domestic autos, custom cars, and high-performance vehicles to perform a variety of automotive services, from factory-scheduled maintenance to prolonging the lives of cars by changing their oil, testing their emissions, and enforcing a strict bedtime. They also work to diagnose and fix issues with brakes, cooling and heating systems, electrical systems, and engines.

The duo and their team recognize the value of fortifying long-term relationships with customers. To do so, they keep each car owner's complete service history on file in their database, and send out reminders at the approach of scheduled maintenance dates.

Highline Customs' red Mustang embodies everything the shop’s certified technicians can do. For instance, the snazzy muscle car sports tinted windows—the same kind customers can expect when they ask the techs to install SunTek’s Carbon and Carbon XP Series window films, which block out 99% of UV light. The Mustang also features a flawless paint job, which is no surprise given the shop cuts 3M, SunTek, and VentureShield paint protection films by hand. Additionally, the techs perform paintless dent removal treatments and apply vinyl graphics of business logos or the owner's name and address in case the car ever tries to run away.

The staff at Precision Import Repair is ASE-and DEQ-certified and trained exclusively to service Japanese cars such as Toyota, Honda, Infinity, and Subaru. With more than 35 collective years of experience, they tackle mechanical problems both large and small. To maintain foreign vehicles’ peak performances, they assess problems with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and perform scheduled oil changes. Larger problems such as faulty A/C units also fall under their jurisdiction, as well as brakes that require repairs and engines that need to be rebuilt or motivated by the mocking countenance of speed-limit signs. Precision Import Repair offers two year, 24,000-mile warranties on all repairs.

A fixture in the automotive industry since 1980, Clarke's Discount Inc.’s efficiency-boosting services and repairs helped earn the shop certifications from the Department of Energy and the Department of Environmental Quality. Inside each service bay, ASE-certified technicians swap in factory quality parts backed by a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty. No matter the repair, Monday–Saturday hours do their best to accommodate busy schedules, while an early-bird and night-owl drop box cares for those who can't meet shop hours. Recognizing that some drivers prefer to fix things themselves, Clark's Discount Inc. also stocks a fully supplied repair shop flush with fluids, tools, and taped readings of the Kelley Blue Book.

Sometimes, it’s best to take a hands-off approach. The techs at Fantasy’s Car Wash take this advice to heart every time they come to work, delivering touch-free car washes that have earned their shops the “top car wash” designation in Omaha Magazine’s Best of Omaha contest every year since 2008. Cars cruise in and out of the automated wash tunnels at outposts spread throughout the state, with many locations also boasting filling centers for diesel fuel or propane.
