Park Air Express’s staff eases transitions from automobile to airplane with fast and courteous shuttle services. Guests drop off their vehicles for a short or long stay at Park Air's indoor covered parking facility before being whisked off to their LAX terminal in one of the company's distinctive green and yellow shuttles. The shuttles await passengers upon their arrival, ready to transport them back and forth 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For an additional fee, the staff will wash and detail trusty gas-powered steeds, so they can greet their owner’s return free of grime or evidence of splashing through mud puddles while they were gone.

The conveyor tracks of LA Express Car Wash's automated tunnels pull vehicles past a cleansing barrage of nozzles, scrubbers, and dangling strips of soft cloth. The facility's tiered car washes dote on vehicles with services including undercarriage washes, triple-coat rainbow-wax applications, and wheel-bright treatments. Outside the tunnel, drivers can reach for complimentary vacuums and tidy up their seats and mats or suck road maps out of strong-willed glove compartments. The car wash's staff also dishes out passes that grant vehicles unlimited access to basic or deluxe car washes for a whole month.

Unlike some car washes that employ potentially abrasive brushes and cloths, Monterey Car Wash liberates locomotives from filth and grime using only soft, lamb's wool mitts that won't mar the paint finish. Most services are designed to get cars clean, dry, and back at their cubicles in about 20 minutes, while still ensuring every auto is thoroughly wiped from window to wheel rim. Always keeping customer comfort a topmost priority, the car wash offers both a shaded outdoor seating area as well as an air-conditioned gift shop stocked with cards and appropriate gifts for hard-to-shop-for valet attendants. Monterey Car Wash helps cars to gleam every day of the week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The technicians at Go Green Auto Spa cleanse sullied chariots and conserve H2O by using less than a quarter-gallon of water on each vehicle they service. With help from an eccentric car-wash inventor, Go Green developed rechargeable machines that add eco-friendly soaps and waxes to water and reduce excessive runoff. The auto spa’s four detail packages all couple hand washes with an interior vacuum, and augment services with an array of add-ons including upholstery shampoos and hand-rubbed wax that defends against weather and delusional cattle branders.

A sleek white Ferrari purrs in the parking lot, and suddenly the opaque window rolls down to reveal Kim Kardashian behind the wheel, beaming with joy at her new custom-tinted windows. Fresh Window Tint’s owner Junior Ayala smiles, knowing he has satisfied yet another customer. Since his father and uncle opened the first location in 1990, Junior has expanded their automotive empire to include three locations, each of which cares for clients personally with custom window tinting and other services.

Using only premium products with at least a 20-year history, which includes Llumar protective window tint, insured technicians wrap windowpanes to reduce heat, solar glare, and up to 99.9% of UV rays. They also protect cars’ bodies with vinyl vehicle wrap or enhance headlights with 3M products. Like wallpaper made from dictionary pages, tinted windows are also stylish and practical for residences and businesses, allowing owners to save up to 40% on energy costs. Customers who live in the Santa Clarita/Valencia area may take advantage of Fresh Window Tint's pickup and drop-off service. Customers visiting from farther-flung locations can relax on the lounge’s plush leather sofas, enjoy snacks and beverages, and watch TV while their cars are being armored against heat and the blinding glare reflected off glass-bottom airplanes.
