Lodi Hand Wash and Oil Change’s troupe of auto caretakers descend on dusty vehicles armed with microfiber mitts to hand wash the car's surfaces. After freeing the steel steed of dirt, they send the car down the conveyor-bathing system to get a full cleansing with Simoniz’s products, and get a rare glimpse into the mind of a laundry machine. Techs then coat exteriors in protective wax before all water is blasted away with an air-drying system. The auto specialists also perform oil changes, inspections, and tire rotations.

Two miles from Newark Liberty International Airport, SNAP Indoor Parking Garage’s indoor parking garage sprawls across more than 230,000 square feet, overseen by licensed security personnel and more than 87 cameras. The garage’s team of white-gloved valet staffers steer vehicles deftly into their berths, saving drivers valuable seconds en route to the airport; 24-hour airport shuttles also speed travelers’ journeys more effectively than 400-horsepower rolling luggage. For ultra-streamlined entry and exit, frequent parkers can opt for the SNAP-pass, which lets them scan swiftly in and out while amassing loyalty points.

Park2Go.com’s friendly, uniformed staffers stand guard at their parking-lot posts 24 hours per day, keeping a safe watch over cars while their owners jet off to their destinations via Newark Liberty International Airport. Free shuttle vans arrive every 10 minutes to whisk travelers on the four-minute ride to the airport, picking them up and dropping them off right at their cars rather than making them search for a bus stop or hitch rides on another traveler’s rolling suitcase. While owners are away, cars remain secure throughout their stay, protected by surveillance cameras and a fence that surrounds the lot.

True to its name, OneStop Auto Spa meets all of a car's needs right under one roof. Its detailing crew presents freshly hand-washed vehicles with gifts of wax and clay bars, and tidies up interiors with bundles of shampoo and conditioner. To block harmful UV rays and add an air of mystery to rides, the shop's technicians install tinted window films, and unlock their dent-removal and paint-repair abilities to counteract dings and scratches from low-flying Santas. The OneStop crew is happy to host charity and fundraising events, leaving schools, clubs, and churches with 50% of the sales after the dust and dollar bills finally settle.
