Olathe Automotive

Though you know that your ride deserves new oil roughly every 3,000 miles, life and sudden fire sales sometimes get in the way. One Stop Auto Repair is situated on the corner of 83rd and Metcalf Avenue and aims to remove any excuse that prevents healthy driving with a regular oil change. Your petroleum transfusion is administered by an ASE-certified technician. One Stop Auto Repair has 10 years of experience in clinical car whispering under its belt.

Most people wait until their car develops an ecosystem in its wheel well before deciding it's time to clean it. Travel Clean won't judge you for your procrastination. Instead, the friendly staff will guide you into the car wash tunnel. All you'll have to do is relax while Travel Clean's massive army of Three Laws–compliant car-care robots wade into the mess and give your car a pristine cleaning while eerily chanting, "Wash, wax, restore." You won't have to get out of the car, ruin your suede shoes, or make small talk with the weird waiting room clown. While you do whatever one does in the privacy of a car wash, your car will get a refreshing undercarriage cleaning, and a Wheel Brite treatment to clean the dirt and break dust from your wheels.

After treating your tires to a game of musical chairs (during which each tire will be checked for leaks, damage, and stowaways), Rob Sight's technicians will run a rigorous test on every component of your vehicle's brake system down to its friction material, rotors, drums, hoses, and connection points ($24.95 for tire rotation and brake inspection). Dual- or rear-wheel vehicles cost extra. Next, they'll conduct a charge system test ($34.95) on the alternator, starter draw, and battery. After a thorough multipoint inspection and an exterior car wash, your chariot will shimmer its way off the lot looking fresh as a genetically engineered super-creature with dangerously soulful eyes.

Although Sallas Auto Repair began as a small, two-bay repair shop, owner and ASE-certified master technician Nick Sallas already had enough experience to fill a multifloor garage. Nick's journey through the automotive industry led him through the service centers of General Motors and Honda and included a 10-year ascension up Goodyear's training programs. He opened Sallas Auto Repair in 1993, fusing his experience with his passion for repairing vehicles and saving customers money. More than 15 years later, he and his wife have expanded the small garage into two AAA-approved facilities stocked with 18 service bays and 18 skilled and certified employees.

The staff at both Sallas Auto Repair locations perform a wide range of services, including oil changes, preventative maintenance, and repairs. Services and repairs in the authorized Napa Auto Care Centers are backed with 18-month or 18,000-mile warranties. During repairs guests relax in waiting rooms stocked with computer stations and free WiFi or take advantage of complimentary rides home should their car beg to spend the night. Sallas’ commitment to cars is rivaled only by its commitment to the community; the shop has supported numerous organizations ranging from the US military to local athletic programs.

While an expert staff leads customers through an inventory of new and pre-owned Hyundais outside, Shawnee Mission Hyundai's service department hones in on parts and appearances. Hyundai-certified technicians wield factory-approved tools as they change oil and filters, replace batteries and brake pads, and tackle other auto maintenance and repairs. The shop also lavishes cars with hand washes and detailing packages that target surface imperfections with clay bars and protect exteriors with paint sealant. Drivers can await their rides in one of two lounges stocked with flat-screen televisions, magazines, free WiFi, and complimentary coffee. A play area keeps children from assessing the Blue Book value on their Matchbox cars.

Wielding a spray bottle, the detailers spritz engines and tires with a biodegradable degreaser before wiping down exteriors with soft micro fiber chamois cloths for a chemical-free hand wash. These seemingly small touches help K & C Auto Detailing Solutions contribute to greener, more eco-friendly car-detailing methods.

Located in the Goodyear Building, the team scours cars during detailing sessions, sweeping dust from seats with shampoo cloths, stripping away bugs and tar, and shining exteriors with electric buffers. They also go mobile, and provide lot washing services to dealerships and companies with fleets of vehicles. Committed to environmentally sound cleaning methods, they contribute green services and products to local car-wash fundraisers and sell Shamerrific cleaning products so customers can wash their own cars without chemicals or the sound of Mother Nature's disapproving sighs.
