Auto Service in Bostonia

After several years in the auto-detailing industry, Javier Virgen struck out on his own, seeking a way to resolve the tension between clean cars and California's water shortages. The resulting detailing shop, Eco Detail, cleanses vehicles with waterless car washes and a line of nontoxic, biodegradable cleaners derived from plants rather than upstate New York's Windex mines. The car wash's techs not only scour away grime, they also restore fading paint jobs and safeguard new paint against oxidation with aviation-grade sealant. They even neutralize stubborn odors, eliminating them at the source with an air-duct-sanitizing system, rather than masking them by hanging air fresheners or filling trunks with cologne.

Ortega Car Wash & Lube’s friendly automotive technicians keep cars clean from the inside out with routine oil changes and meticulous hand washes. Offering four car-wash packages, they can refresh your vehicle with a simple wash and dry or a more intensive service that includes vacuuming, tire dressing, and a clear-coat protector. When they aren’t refreshing interiors with leather-seat treatments and carpet shampooing, technicians pop open the hood to soothe coughing engines with fresh helpings of brake fluid and cold medicine. A gift shop stocks air fresheners and other accessories designed to keep cars purring contentedly for miles down the road.
