Auto Service in Philadelphia

Today's automotive technicians working their today hadn't yet been born when Fenkell Automotive Service first opened its doors in 1932. But they benefit from the business's tradition of astute customer service and professional courtesy. In addition to oil changes, maintenance, and windshield repair, the crew demonstrates their commitment to customers with preventative maintenance plans that not only meet cars' factory service recommendations, but also insures against mishaps with free towing, tire hazard coverage, and roadside assistance.

Within the confines of Central AirPark’s secure parking lot, vehicles remain under constant surveillance, allowing their owners to fly in comfort. Once they’ve found a suitable spot for their automobile, travelers hop aboard a shuttle helmed by a friendly assistant, who continuously ferries passengers on the eight-minute ride to and from the airport curb and lends passengers a hand with luggage. In addition to the secure location, complimentary shuttles carry customers to and from their cars.

Harnessing the years of dealership experience that he keeps tucked under his belt, FR Auto Detail owner Felton Robinson transforms sullied vehicles into sparkling rides. During detailing sessions, agile technicians hand-wash exteriors, sweeping dirt, smears, and stains from victory-lane champagne baths off of outer shells. Hand-applied wax outfits each car with a lustrous cloak that stands guard against weather elements and road debris, and underbody sealants protect road-exposed undersides from seasonal weather hazards and saboteurs riding luges.

The experienced technicians at Foam Factory begin each car wash with a high-pressure rinse and a healthy dose of Active Foam solution before gently washing each vehicle by hand with microfiber mittens. Once the vehicle has been thoroughly rinsed, they dry and polish paint jobs by hand, protecting their hard work against the elements with premium wax and sealant products. In addition to washing exteriors, Foam Factory’s techs also perform meticulous interior details with carpet steaming and vent cleaning and restore confidence to extra-tarnished vehicles with à la carte services such as tree-sap removal and headlight restoration. While technicians work, car owners can lounge on the outdoor patio, sip coffee in the upstairs waiting room, or continue their mystical quest in the downstairs dungeon.

Deluxe Car Wash & Express Lube ensures the proper function and road-ready appearance of vehicles with experienced mechanics and automated suds-sessions. The family-owned car-care business keeps engines healthy with Castrol Oil and cleans exteriors using products from Rain-X, Blue Coral, and Black Magic. Guests relax inside the center’s lounge, where they can page through magazines, watch TV, or shop for car accessories to reward rides that behave well during their services.

Road grime irks the certified detail technicians at Plush Luxury Automotive Detailing. When they see it clinging to a vehicle in their work bay, they spring for bottles of P21S, Meguiar’s, Jet Seal, and Aquapel and launch into one of their five levels of detailing services. Each detail builds upon the previous detail¬—like directions to a town without road signs—and showcases the shop's bevy of tools and techniques. Depending on the chosen level, techs wash exteriors by hand with two buckets and Grit Guards, dry shells with microfiber and waffle weave towels, evict interior debris with gusts of compressed air, and massage away smudges and smears with ammonia-free window cleaner.
