Automotive in Sturgis

Performance Plus Quick Lube's team of trained technicians is well-versed in the most common oil myths and uses that knowledge during regular oil changes to transform coughing engines into efficient, long-lasting, high-performance car-hearts. After expunging the contaminated sludge from the engine’s crankcase, the Performance pit crew enlists up to five quarts of Quaker State Enhanced Durability synthetic blend motor oil for a three-month (or 3,000-mile) tour of lubrication duty that eases piston pounding and traps engine dirt in suspended animation. Once they've installed a new oil filter, they'll top off the car's coolant, power steering fluid, and umbrella drink.

Ziebart has had plenty of time to perfect its auto-detailing services: the shop has been in business for more than 50 years. Trained and certified technicians use ultramodern equipment and Ziebart's own brand of products to detail interiors and exteriors, protect paint, and repair scratches. They also tint windows and program remote starters.

Armed with gentle soft cloths and biodegradable chemicals, Lighthouse Carwash's automated system sanctifies vehicle exteriors all year long, at all hours of the day. After a presoak and underbody wash, The Works car wash caresses exteriors with soft cloths accompanied by three foaming shampoos sprayed out of gothic soap gargoyles. Robotic appendages then coat surfaces with a cleansing conditioner and clear-coat protectant to bring out a sunglasses-shattering sheen. Like a pedicure, a high-pressure wheel blast and application of tire cleaner gives its recipient the confidence to wear risqué open-toe sandals in public. Each of Lighthouse Carwash's top-of-the-line washes wraps up with a spot-free rinse and power blow-dry.

When the licensed and insured staffers from Ultra Clean Detailing aren't scouring cars, boats, RVs, and motorcycles, they're fixing dings and dents without paints or fillers. The company?s other services include headlight restoration, odor removal, and polymer-paint sealant, which uses molecular cross-linking to protect paint jobs from ultraviolet rays and scratches caused by overeager sheriffs sliding across the hood.

At Crossroads Expert Auto Service, a NAPA AutoCare Center and recipient of the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence, ASE-certified technicians spoon-feed domestic and imported vehicles up to 5 quarts of Shell motor oil. During the 30-minute service, techs drain dreary dinosaur juice, replace it with fresh extract of an oil tanker, and install a filter designed to gobble up any contaminants in sight. Mechanics fire up supercomputer-like diagnostic equipment to test the battery for optimal performance and cold-weather cranking capability, then check that the coolant is prepared to maintain proper engine temperature during the upcoming Winter Age. After inspections are over, techs generate a comprehensive maintenance report card to provide drivers with their vehicle's grades and overall well-being. Crossroads keeps customers occupied in a multitasking lounge area that features complimentary wall-to-wall WiFi.
