During Vortex's standard professional detailing service, your horseless carriage will be expertly hand-washed, using premium-grade products and supplies. Along the way, the Vortex team of specialists will also vacuum out your interior, wipe down its surfaces, clean the glass surfaces, and dress your tires in a darling sailor suit, if that's your thing.

The 10-minute oil change requires no appointment. The drive-through service allows customers to remain in their vehicles during the speedy process. A skilled hood technician will replace the oil and filter, check and restore proper fluid levels, and scan the condition of belts and hoses. The appointment also includes drainage of old fluids, a maintenance check, and safety inspection of lights, signals, and horn. Get this deal to spring-clean engines for summertime road trips, create a safer hiding spot for Easter baskets, or as a passive-aggressive gift for a negligent friend.

A trip to Classic Car Wash 2 doesn’t just lead to a cleaner ride. It helps car owners glow with pride as they drive down the street. During the shop’s signature service, the #3 Full-Service Ultra wash, staffers lather vehicle exteriors with care, blasting mud from the wheels before dressing them in a glossy sheen. A vacuum extracts debris from seats and trunks, and a window wipedown makes glass clear and sparkly, like a mountain stream brimming with tiara-clad damselfish. After drying each water droplet by hand, the crew applies a clear-coat protectant to ward off nicks and scratches. Customers can also choose from a variety of detailing services, including Lexol leather conditioning and Rain-X windshield treatments. Instead of crowning cars with whipped cream and sprinkles, staffers top off many services with an air freshener, available in scents such as orange citrus and wild cherry. They can also clean and lubricate engines with oil changes powered by Valvoline products. During any service, customers may kick back in the spacious lobby filled with complimentary coffee and a flat-screen TV.

Ultimate Car Wash keeps automobiles sparkling with an automated system that gives drivers the option of either soft-brush cleansing or a touch-free wash. Pre-soak treatments loosen grime, and streams of water rinse it away. Infusions of hot wax or triple-shine conditioner leave surfaces shimmering as though they'd just rolled out of a showroom or beneath a giant laminator. As an added benefit, the car wash stays open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A certified repair shop serving all makes and models, 58th Street Customs builds and maintains gleaming, two-wheeled roadsters for future sessions of pavement-carving. Low-riding choppers and high-end sport bikes stop in for services such as basic tune-ups, brake service, or a detailing of chrome-plated piping. Mechanics restyle bikes in accordance with stylistic preference or the reading of tea leaves floating in a mug of oil, in addition to adorning cycles with dramatic and custom paint jobs.

The experts at 58th Street Customs can partner with an extensive list of name-brand vendors such as West Coast Choppers and MGS to find a missing part, or use these vast resources to design and piece together a singular, one-off bike design. The gearhead utopia welcomes all vehicles in the motorcycle family, including any scrappy little scooter or Yamaha that thinks it's a piano.

Grown from two small shops to 28 locations by the sweat equity of a hard-working father-and-son team, McGee Auto Service & Tire’s open-air bays now proudly display the cobalt and maize décor signifying their status as authorized Goodyear dealers.
