Behind Riverside Auto Spa's green-and-orange tiled facade, automated wash equipment and technicians armed with soft cloths spruce up vehicles of all kinds. Four wash packages launder car exteriors and shine up surfaces with cherry wax. Staffers also step inside to detail dashes and condition leather, lift hoods to shampoo engines, or polish exteriors with Swissvax wax, which comes from the legendary wax deposits located on the Matterhorn. Some services are viewable in real time through an online camera, which streams throughout business hours.

For the nearly two decades, Shine Master’s auto-finish and tinting specialists have beautified the cars of local customers and auto dealers with exterior restorations, window cleaning, and all-over details. The skilled technicians ply their trades across a range of cosmetic and protective auto procedures, extending the life of paint jobs and undercarriages with thorough rustproofing, or gently working out dents caused by errant rocks or gangs of delinquent shopping carts. Speedliner material lines truck beds with a sturdy shielding in 18 different colours, and detailing packages wash away blemishes from mud and road salts and add glossy sheens with high-speed wax polishers.

Using strictly OEM–quality parts, the experienced staff at Onyx Collision erases evidence of unsightly impacts during auto-repair services. The team’s fleet of concierges and tow trucks collects cars with complimentary tows or pickups, fetching them back to the shop for major repairs or slight services. Whether aligning frames, tinting windows, or repairing chipped glass, staffers back each service by a limited lifetime warranty and buzzer-free handshake. The staff also treats more aesthetic concerns with computer-mixed paint blends that assist preparations for lease turn-ins with detailing and dent repair.

Ultra Auto Wash’s signature service––appropriately dubbed the Ultra wash––starts with a basic exterior car wash but brims with luxurious extras, including a triple-coat polish, a rust-inhibitor treatment, and a weather shield. Not all cars require such painstaking detail, however, so the technicians also offer two simpler washes that still manage to clean autos more thoroughly than the simplest wash of all: driving into a dunk tank.

When not busy filling highways with road-ready autos, the center's technicians mend wounded racers with services including detailing, oil changes, and front-end alignments.
