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.

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.

Auto Styles' factory-trained and certified technicians embellish cars and boats with the help of top-grade window tint, audio, and upholstery products, all covered by warranties against defects. They computer-cut window films, integrate iPods into audio systems, and repair dents without using paint. Each year, the technicians perform hundreds of upholstery jobs for local dealerships using Katzkin leather, and can even customize interiors with ostrich and crocodile skin so that every drive is a safari.

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. Skilled hands outfit hoisted cars with conventional and standard oil while computerized systems recalibrate tires, brake service secures stoppers, and transmission tune-ups correct gear-bound problems. At the core of full-scale commercial fleet services, a specialized shearography machine helped earn McGee Auto Service & Tire a mention on Modern Tire Dealer's Top 100 Retreaders in the U.S. list. Oversize vehicle service also caters to recreational drivers, with RV service including repairing electrical systems, recalibrating drive trains, and restocking the feedback of the horn's onboard bugler.

The Solar Shop Window Tint protects homes and automobiles from the harsh rays of the sun with beautifying and protective coats of UV-blocking film. Each sheet of expertly installed tint reduces blinding glare and blocks solar damage, leaving behind cool, comfortable living spaces and vehicle interiors. Drivers enjoy free WiFi as they await their car’s makeover upon the cushy leather couch of a waiting room bedecked with flowers and checkered floors, while tykes romp in a kids’ playroom stocked with toys and the complete works of Bertrand Russell.

Beneath the serene façade of Florida's idyllic weather lies a criminal underbelly. The scorching Tampa sun seeks to hijack vibrancy from paint while the salty and air and abundance of flying bugs mar the auto's pristine appearance. Like a Care Bear flying down on a zipline made of clouds, On the Spot Mobile Detailing arrives to combat the assault of these elements through extensive protective services for cars, motorcycles, and watercraft. Mobile units travel to wherever vehicles reside, restoring the original shine to paint or sprucing up interiors with leather conditioning and upholstery shampooing. In an effort to provide more than the typical interior/exterior wash, the team restores headlights, ousts ozone-generated odors, and applies hard hand waxes that protect from the flying claws of summer kitten storms.
