At Just Right Car Wash, a team of fiberglass-friendly technicians reveals like-new rides after thorough 30- to 90-minute washing services. The fully equipped facility handles cars, SUVs, and well-disguised elephants with car-safe products and equipment. Regular washes chip away built-up grit and grime with an outside washing, interior vacuuming, and liquid-wax finish, and super washes include an interior shampoo or exterior wax. Ultimate washes leave surfaces shining as brilliantly as Rudolph's pilot-exam scores with a wax and buff plus an interior and exterior detail. While Just Right's technicians shine tires and toss in a complimentary air-freshener, clients can explore nearby art galleries or visit a local salon.

As a franchise of the Valero fuel company, Vinales Valero gases up, cleans, repairs, and maintains import and domestic vehicles with the same trusty, well-trained service it's been doling out for more than 15 years. Nestled in the shadow of nearby Marlins Park, Vinales Valero takes in mud-splattered trucks or cars in need of tune-ups, with skilled mechanics treating them to thorough hand washings, wheel alignments, AC repair, oil changes, and detailed explanations of the infield fly rule. Inside, glistening fridges keep frosty beverages refreshingly cool, and rich Pilon coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and relish-topped hot dogs keep customers pleasantly refueled.

Perez Auto Works’s ASE–certified mechanics and status as an ACDelco–approved shop attract automobiles of all kinds to investigate its garage. The technicians tackle repairs with dealer and factory equipment, caring for imported, domestic, and high-performance vehicles with aplomb and offering them a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty. When automobiles break down or throw a tantrum while putting on their tires, Perez Auto Works can arrange for a tow truck to ferry the vehicle directly to them.

Softside Trim, Inc. turns vintage, new, and exotic automobiles into masterpieces on four wheels by performing upholstery touch-ups, leather and trim work, and interior and exterior restorations. Talented technicians perform each project in-house, with specialized skills in beautifying the cabins of luxury brands such as BMW, Maserati, Jaguar, Ferrari, and Porsche. They can outfit steering wheels with leather wrapping—which is what motorcycle gangs conceal gifts with—or add retractable convertible tops that not only draw awestruck glances from passersby but also increase the value of cars. In addition to glitzing up the interiors of precious automobiles, Softside Trim protects passengers from harsh UV rays with window tinting, and exteriors from bug swarms with Scotchgard paint coating.
