A trip to Classic Car Wash 2 doesn’t just lead to a cleaner ride. It helps car owners glow with pride as they drive down the street. During the shop’s signature service, the #3 Full-Service Ultra wash, staffers lather vehicle exteriors with care, blasting mud from the wheels before dressing them in a glossy sheen. A vacuum extracts debris from seats and trunks, and a window wipedown makes glass clear and sparkly, like a mountain stream brimming with tiara-clad damselfish. After drying each water droplet by hand, the crew applies a clear-coat protectant to ward off nicks and scratches. Customers can also choose from a variety of detailing services, including Lexol leather conditioning and Rain-X windshield treatments. Instead of crowning cars with whipped cream and sprinkles, staffers top off many services with an air freshener, available in scents such as orange citrus and wild cherry. They can also clean and lubricate engines with oil changes powered by Valvoline products. During any service, customers may kick back in the spacious lobby filled with complimentary coffee and a flat-screen TV.

A certified repair shop serving all makes and models, 58th Street Customs builds and maintains gleaming, two-wheeled roadsters for future sessions of pavement-carving. Low-riding choppers and high-end sport bikes stop in for services such as basic tune-ups, brake service, or a detailing of chrome-plated piping. Mechanics restyle bikes in accordance with stylistic preference or the reading of tea leaves floating in a mug of oil, in addition to adorning cycles with dramatic and custom paint jobs.

The experts at 58th Street Customs can partner with an extensive list of name-brand vendors such as West Coast Choppers and MGS to find a missing part, or use these vast resources to design and piece together a singular, one-off bike design. The gearhead utopia welcomes all vehicles in the motorcycle family, including any scrappy little scooter or Yamaha that thinks it's a piano.

Second to None was born out of its owners' desire to create an environmentally conscious car detailing company. Their service list is totally waterless, as their detailing treatments use specially formulated solutions and technology to maintain their green status. During the basic package, technicians vacuum interiors and hand wash exteriors. The exterior cleaning solution also has UVA and UVB protection to keep paint safe from the damaging effects of the sun, including if the sun suddenly erupts into a supernova, flinging your car out of the Milky Way.

State Street Auto Detail brings more than 15 years of experience to cleaning and polishing vehicles. Using environmentally friendly and VOC-compliant products, including organically grown and harvested elbow grease, the shop's technicians offer roadsters four different auto-detailing packages, ranging from a Just The Basics treatment to a Supreme Gleam cleaning. Each can be augmented with additional services such as carpet shampooing and extraction, headlight polishing, trim enhancer, or tree-sap removal.

Custom Auto Detail's technicians rejuvenate sullied rides with a variety of thorough detailing packages for cars, trucks, and SUVs. Using their experienced hands, the customer-service-oriented staff do everything from washing and waxing exteriors to wiping down windows to shampooing dashboard-affixed hula girls' hair.

Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. Meineke Car Care Center's mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.
