Though founded originally founded in Alabama in 1945, today Goo-Goo Express Wash sprawls across 12 states, each emulating the original with its signature red-and-yellow motif and smiling uniformed staff. Donning the red ties, helpful Goo-Goo employees assist customers and cars with prewash treatments before sending them both on their way through the automatic tunnel. Inside, microfiber cloths and Goo-Goo’s own line of biodegradable soaps work together to destroy dirt and muck during three levels of washes, including two that conclude with a spritz of tricolor and sealer wax. After the wash, Goo-Goo’s self-serve vacuum cleaners and mat machines work overtime to suck up dirt and debris from seats, carpets, and carpooler’s nostrils free of charge.

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 a fainting goat. Though we all may delay getting this necessary service for our beloved steel-combustion chariots, this deal is the perfect opportunity to deal with one of the nagging chores you’ve been meaning to get around to for ages.

As Kentuckiana’s only hand-car-wash facility, River City Splash is the only way to gently and meticulously spiff up four-wheeled living rooms without hiring a crew of mimes who never actually touch the car while working. Each ultimate splash wash includes a hand wash and dry, wheel cleaning, interior blow-out and vacuuming, window cleaning, dash and center-console wipe-down, seat cleaning and dressing, door-panel wash, tire dressing, and exterior hand wax. Sparing delicate car exteriors from clumsy machinery and assembly-line service, River City employs a crew of live people who deftly revive your car’s lustrous sheens with steady-handed precision. River City’s crew always uses high-quality cleaning products, never recycled banana-peel wipes.

Trained technicians at QuikStop Oilube's 13 tristate locations complete automotive services from speedy lubes to tire rotations with an ethos of friendliness and dedication established in 1987. Products keep engines smoothly churning and piston cylinders from attracting feral whack-a-moles. Each location offers full Saturday hours with select centers open on Sundays to ensure convenient service for any schedule. While-you-wait service rests on a trademark 10-minute oil change, complete with a fresh filter and a high-octane lollipop for well-behaved cars.

At Brannon Express Car Wash, robotic arms blast water jets along the contours of cars of all sizes, leaving them spotless from bumper to bumper and roof to undercarriage. Soft-touch scrubbers manufactured with closed-cell foam scour all areas of the vehicle, and because the scrubbers don’t retain water or particles, paint jobs emerge from the wash scratch-free. A tri-foam polish, meanwhile, restores exteriors to a shiny, like-new state.

Each of the company’s wash packages safely blasts grime and environmental contaminants from coats and strengthens them with misting applications of Rain-X and Ecolab protectants. After tires are buffed shiny and a power dry removes water spots, vacuums are available for self-serve use to hoover cabins free of dust and unwelcome carpoolers.

From standard oil changes to engine and transmission repairs, the trusted technicians at Car King Auto Care Center keep vehicles running smoothly. The team complements a comprehensive service list with diligent courtesy checks, including visual inspections of air filters and fluids, and a rundown of the manufacturer’s recommendations for replacing filters or getting the hood ornament to do backflips.
