Under the watchful gaze of Simoniz factory-trained technicians, Carolina Auto Spa's automatic tunnels bathe and wax cars' exteriors inside a modern wash arena. When they aren't scouring autos, technicians cleanse alternative transports, such as boats and saddled peacocks. Carolina Auto Spa also offers mobile detailing appointments for customers with busy schedules.

Maintaining the same quality ownership since 1988, The Durham Ritz spiffs up autos with gentle wash processes and quality cleaning products such as Simoniz and Mequiar’s. Each six-hour doting detail treatment includes a thorough exterior hand wash that scrubs the bugs off the grille, gets the grime off the wheels, and rubs the muck off the ejector-seat lever. The interior scouring session begins with a steam to get the summer ice-cream stains out of the carpets, seats, and floor mats. Then, vinyl rejuvenators cleanse and condition the dash, console, and door panels until they're sterile enough to eat ice cream off of again. The Durham Ritz's detail devotees finish by slathering your ride with thick layers of polish and wax until it gleams brighter than a burning pile of flashlight catalogues. A smaller amount of water is used compared to at-home washing, and in environmentally friendly fashion, waste-water is sent to the sewer system and not storm drains.

As rides shuttle through Classic Express Car Wash, soft-bristle brushes gently slough dirt from dingy exteriors. The center’s friendly staff chases complete customer satisfaction during each wash and detailing service, remedying the rare misstep in accordance with its quality guarantee. For complete car care, the location also maintains a fleet of free vacuums and houses a quick-lube center for cars that need an oil fix but cannot muster the courage to ask an oil rig to share.

Though customers at Mr. Phills Auto Spa can’t walk in and receive a facial or a mani-pedi, the car-wash-and-detail center does go out of its way to make them feel comfortable as its staffers skillfully hand wash automobiles and detail interiors. Guests sip on complimentary coffee, cocoa, water, or wine, and calm grumbling stomachs with muffins, bagels, and other baked goods, rather than feasting on discarded air fresheners. Free WiFi and a business center equipped with computers, private offices, and a conference room ensure that businesspeople can stay on top of their responsibilities throughout the day. To accommodate guests who are too busy to stay at Mr. Phills during the detailing process, a free shuttle provides transportation to and from home, work, the golf course, or the Batcave.

Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. Meineke Car Care Center's mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.

Having opened nearly 900 franchises in the United States since its inception in 1972, Meineke Car Care Center's steadfast staff revamp vehicles during a slew of automotive maintenance and repair services. Meineke's technicians will drain oil laden with built-up impurities or 3,000 miles of emotional baggage, or outfit rides with new brakes, batteries, tires, or mufflers. For customers' convenience, Meineke Car Care Center is open early mornings, early evenings, and Saturdays.
