Turbo Express Car Wash & Detail offers motorists a slate of services aimed at upping cars' naturally low self-esteems. Treat your walrus-less carriage to a Turbo Express wash ($8) with turbo triple-action foam, spot-free rinse, turbo dry, and touch towel finish. The Turbo Classic wash ($10) provides all of the auto-friendly amenities of the Turbo Express wash plus undercarriage sealant, turbo tri-coat polish, and a wheel/tire cleaning. Or you could go all crazy with the Turbo Custom wash ($12), which heaps all the aforementioned services into a scrub-down, while also throwing in UV protection and a tire shine. Delivery drivers seeking to eradicate the ruinous remnants of last week's unfortunate chili spillage can opt for a Redline Interior Detail ($39.95), where, in addition to receiving a Turbo Custom wash, the car's interiors are vacuumed, mats are shampooed, glass is cleaned, upholstery is treated, and an enticing fragrance, like the sweet sigh of a southern grey-headed sparrow, is hatched.

Since 1986, Casey and his team have worked to uphold this high standard at Polished Image, even as the detail and repair shop spread to new locations and expanded its menu of services to include windshield replacement, fixing chipped paint, and removing custard pie stains caused from cutting off clown cars.

A Rocky Mountain horizon peaks over the roof of Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge's glass-walled showroom as glimmering rows of new and preowned autos file neatly into the spaces of an expansive lot. Tucked inside the service department, mechanics outfit cars with everything from OEM auto parts to sips of oil and fresh new filters. Convenient Saturday hours also allow hurried businesspeople to avoid stressing out in between going to work and taking shark-taming classes.

Inspired to help car owners save money in the wake of an economic downturn, The Wrench-it Center's founder, Zachary Anderegg, opened the heated bays of a full-service, do-it-yourself garage lauded by the Deseret News as "Salt Lake Valley's most innovative—and hands-on—automotive repair business." Amateur mechanics can access both high-rise and low-rise lifts as well as a 200-piece toolbox, and they can also plug into the garage's Alldata automotive repair database so they don't have to ask their car to honk three times when it stops hurting. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, when visitors hit a snag, this computer system "shows drawings of just about every part and how they fit together for all makes and models." When the garage doesn't have the part for a required repair, free parts delivery can summon rare factory components and more aerodynamic bumper stickers. Owners can enlist the shop's mechanics to coach them through the repair process, and at any point they can hand the job off and enjoy the full-service treatment.
