Auto Service in Lafayette

Unlike library books, cars protest by not working when you don’t adhere to their due dates. To keep your vehicle in top shape, you should get your car’s oil changed every 3,000 miles or six months, or after every seemingly coincidental encounter with that mysterious goat. Let the fluid-friendly folks at Hubler, all of whom are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, perform an oil transfusion and 27-point inspection that will extend your car's life, possibly extend your life, and have little impact on the lifespan of most fruit flies.

Car Wash King fuses man and machine, combining detail-oriented technicians with powerful automated wash tunnels. After techs douse vehicles marred by highway dust with a pre-rinse, automatic soft-cloth machines buff away stubborn grime. Hot-air drying machines whisk away moisture while attendants hand dry hard-to-reach corners and remove excess water drops from windows. Technicians also augment traditional cleanings with extensive interior and exterior detailing services, gilding and protecting paint jobs from corrosion and carefully aimed meteorites.

At an early age, Kevin Coulter acquired advanced detailing and vehicular-reconditioning skills while working at a local Indiana Auto Auction. Today, he draws on more than 20 years of experience as he operates Luxury Cars of Indianapolis, where skilled techs service chariots using Meguiar's nonabrasive and eco-friendly products. The team wields pH-balanced leather conditioner to moisturize seats, a detailer's clay bar to smooth exterior surfaces, and custom-mixed paints to brighten auto cheeks. Staffers can also pick up, drop off, and spin vehicles on their fingertips for an additional cost.

Park Ride & Fly USA's car caretakers protect vacationing cars within 24-hour, well-lit parking lots near airports in more than 30 states. After dropping off their automobiles, customers can transport themselves and their luggage to the airport aboard one of the company’s complimentary shuttles or human-size hamster balls. While away, patrons rest easy knowing that their steel steeds are safe within fenced lots that are monitored by 24-hour surveillance. At many locations, shuttles also swing by the terminal to pick up returning travelers and reunite them with their respective vehicles, which are first freed of cloud-based artillery, including snow or recently rained molasses.

The technicians at Solar Control draw on more than 20 years of experience to bedeck homes, offices, and cars with attractive, scratch-resistant films backed by lifetime warranties. The film can help reduce sun penetration for offices and homes, which can help lead to lower energy usage and decreased energy bills. They also specialize in safety glass, which prevents shards from shattering in the event of situations such as natural disasters.

At Indy Auto Spa, cars aren’t the only ones who get pampered. While autos are in the shop, patrons recline in Italian leather seats, sip complimentary coffee and bottled water, and enjoy free WiFi on loaner iPads. Meanwhile, cars receive detailing services that were ranked number one by The Indy A List voters in 2010 and 2011. At their two locations, technicians revamp cars inside and out, but also tint windows, design and install vehicle graphics, and cover cars in protective paint finishes that keep bugs from burrowing into their caramel centers.
