Auto Service in Union City

The sounds of scrubbing, buffing, and contented vehicles gossiping about the bedside manner of gas-station attendants echo throughout Babylon Auto Detailing, Inc.'s 2,500-square-foot facility. Any vessel of land, sea, or sky—including motorcycles, boats, and airplanes—lucky enough to discover the shop will quickly find the paint-restoring detail clays, waxes, and carpet shampoo its little mechanical heart desires. Backed by a $2 million insurance policy and their own priceless experience, BAD's technicians gussy up all modes of transport with paint and body repairs, interior Scotchgard protection, and headlight restorations; they also delve into onsite electronics installations, window tinting, and motorcycle storage. So vehicle-friendly and encouraging is the staff that dealership autos, limousine fleets, and cars roughed up by packs of rogue Mardi Gras floats all seek solace at the shop's front door.

From their three locations, the auto mavens at Platinum Car Wash & Oil employ advanced water-reclamation systems and power-conscious equipment during cleaning and maintenance services. The facility's full-service car-wash tunnels spray paint jobs with Simoniz soaps, waxes, and foams before staff members dab rides with microfiber towels. They continue hands-on touch during signature or 20-minute express detailing sessions that unfold as auto owners explore the waiting area's magazines, complimentary WiFi, or leather couch cushions.

Opposed to using recycled or reprocessed oils, the crew spurs pistons with Mobil oil and complimentary top-offs between services. They also help boost car with lube services, such as transmission drains, tire rotations, and VPS fuel-rail services that dislodge harmful debris and misplaced CDs from fuel- and air-intake systems.

At New High Tech Car Wash & Lube, a skilled detailing crew revamps cars, vans, and SUVs with help from top products, such as Rain-X. The team handles basic to specialty detailing tasks, including vanquishing dirt and grime with exterior hand washes, bathing the chassis in a rust inhibitor, or removing car poolers who refuse to leave the backseat. Aside from sprucing up automotive surfaces, New High Tech also tackles a range of restorative projects.

Cars roll away from the checkered exterior of East Gate Car Wash & Lube Center renewed by the shop’s wash, detailing, and maintenance services. Washes rinse away recently acquired roadway gunk with paint-safe soaps, while applications of sealant and rust protector guard cars from long-term damage. To restore vehicles' health without feeding them an apple every day, technicians swap old oil for new in the facility’s garage, the same place they perform routine maintenance on tires, tweak engines systems, and regulate fluids. An onsite lounge placates waiting patrons with cups of complimentary coffee and a convenience store stocked with snacks, drinks, cards, and car products.

Tucked between Nordstrom and Macy’s, A.S. Car Caterers and its detailing crew scrub away dirt from cars' insides and outsides while auto owners shop around the Roosevelt Field mall. After each hand wash, technicians dry off shells with microfiber towels, protect tires with dressing, and vacuum seats and floors. From their basic spritzing and scrubbing services to complete and thorough detailing services, the team can restore vehicles to their just-bought or just-drove-through-a-waterfall shine in as little as 20 minutes.
