At Signature Rides LLC, the car is a canvas for skilled auto-modification artists who beautify vehicles with slick accessories and customizations. Their ability to add glitzy flair to cars, trucks, and SUVs has attracted celebrities ranging from LSU football stars to crime-fighting Corvettes. Fruits of their labor include mesh grilles, chrome-covered door handles and trailer hitches, custom wheels, and airbag-suspension systems. Thanks to an arsenal of metallic, mirrored, and colored films, Signature Rides LLC’s crew can outfit windows with a tint that blocks 99% of harmful UV radiation and 35% of harsh solar heat.

Led by owner Miles Holley, the team of ASE-certified technicians at Skid Marks Tires & Auto Service keeps vehicles in top form with services ranging from computerized alignments to air-conditioner repair. The company expanded in 2012, adding two locations to the two existing service centers.

Staffers at any location can outfit wheels with four tires, a service that includes two free 20-minute oil changes. Patrons making a purchase of more than $249 enjoy six interest-free months with approved credit and an acceptable KITT impersonation.

For 20 years, Prestige Auto Sound has specialized in custom electronics and aesthetic enhancements that reflect their clients' personal styles. Having worked through two decades of technological advancements, the crew's familiarity with vintage stereos and security gear, combined with an acute understanding of new navigation devices and video equipment, enables seamless upgrades for a variety of makes and models. Aside from performing custom installs, the shop's expert reach extends to makeovers for boats and buildings in the form of home theaters and both commercial and residential window tinting, while a retail shop fills the hands of DIY-ers with high-quality components easily assembled into backup battery systems or robot chauffeurs.

Although they are a certified Goodyear, Kelly Tires, and Dunlop Tires dealer, Certi-Tate Tires & Automotive Center does much more than sell and repair tires for cars, trucks, SUVs, and ATVs. During their 30 years in the automotive industry, the shop's ASE-certified technicians have addressed virtually every vehicular issue imaginable. They perform a high-tech analysis of automobiles' control computers, and adjust the alignment on cars who've spent too much time attempting to Hokey Pokey.

The technicians at Riverbend Auto Wash specialize in stripping dirt from road-weary vehicles via simple, efficient cleanings. However, they can augment their washes with an array of add-ons, from exterior waxes to interior detailing, which makes sure there aren’t any baby cars growing in the glove box. The techs also replace cracked glass, change oil, and touch up paint chips.

Accurate Automotive and Tire’s staff members are certified and ready to work on cars of every make and model. Their services range from electrical repair and tune-ups to transmission work, towing, and detailing that starts with a hand wash and ends with a slice of sunshine tied to the antenna. The team also installs tires from Goodyear and Bridgestone.
