Diesel engines are known for their durability, power, and efficiency—but they require specialized maintenance to perform at their best. One of the most important services for diesel vehicles is the Diesel Fuel Filter Service. 

Your diesel fuel filter removes contaminants like dirt, rust, and water from fuel before it reaches the engine. Contaminated fuel can damage injectors, the fuel pump, and other components, leading to costly repairs. At Drive & Shine, our Diesel Fuel Filter Service starts at $99.99 and up, providing an affordable way to maintain your diesel engine’s health. 

Your vehicle’s engine relies on precise fuel delivery for optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions. Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged with carbon, dirt, and varnish, reducing fuel flow and causing rough idling, decreased power, and lower fuel economy. 

Drive & Shine offers a professional Fuel Injection Cleaning Service starting at $79.99, helping restore your engine’s efficiency, improve drivability, and protect your vehicle from long-term damage. 

Most drivers don’t think about the differential—but it’s one of the most important parts of your vehicle’s drivetrain. The differential allows your wheels to rotate at different speeds while turning, ensuring smooth handling and proper traction. Without regular maintenance, the differential’s gears and bearings can wear out prematurely, leading to costly repairs and potential breakdowns. 

At Drive & Shine, our Differential Service keeps your drivetrain in top condition, helping your vehicle perform efficiently and reliably for years to come. 

Smooth, responsive steering is something most drivers take for granted—until it becomes harder to turn the wheel or strange noises start coming from under the hood. One of the most overlooked yet vital fluids in your vehicle is power steering fluid. Without proper maintenance, this fluid can break down or become contaminated, leading to stiff steering, pump failure, and costly repairs. 

At Drive & Shine, our Power Steering Fluid Service ensures your steering system operates smoothly and safely, protecting critical components while keeping you in control of your vehicle. Drive & Shine offers this service for $89.99, making it an affordable investment in safety and performance. 

When most drivers think of preventative maintenance, the first thing that comes to mind is an oil change. But your vehicle’s coolant/antifreeze system plays just as important a role in protecting your engine and keeping it running at its best. 

At Drive & Shine, our Lube Technicians offer Coolant/Antifreeze Service at select locations, giving you peace of mind knowing your engine is protected from both overheating in the summer and freezing in the winter. 

Drive & Shine takes pride in offering three convenient services all on one property – Car Wash, Express Interior Clean, and Oil Change – but the Oil Change service available at 12 different locations offers so much more. 

When you pull in for a quick oil change, you also have access to nine additional preventive maintenance services that can save you from costly repairs and keep your vehicle performing at its best: 

• Transmission Fluid 

• Coolant/Antifreeze 

• Power Steering 

• Differential 

• Fuel Injection 

• Diesel Fuel Filter 

• Engine Flush 

• Serpentine Belt 

• A/C Recharge 

At Drive & Shine, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it has been at the core of our business for nearly two decades. From energy-efficient lighting to advanced water recycling systems, we’ve built our operations with a clear vision: to provide the highest quality car care while protecting the environment for future generations. 

Pioneers in Energy Efficiency 

Long before LED lighting became standard, Drive & Shine embraced it as part of our commitment to energy efficiency. Today, we go even further with advanced technologies like light harvesting, auto-dimming, and auto-off systems that optimize electricity usage throughout our facilities. By incorporating Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on all motors, we also reduce energy consumption while easing demand on local utilities. 

Responsible Resource Conservation 

Our dedication to sustainability extends to our Lube Center, where we’ve been recycling used oil to heat our buildings since the very beginning. This not only reduces waste but also minimizes reliance on conventional energy sources. 

RECYCLED OIL Our sustainability efforts extend beyond just water. We responsibly collect and recycle used oil, reducing environmental impact and promoting a cleaner, greener future for all. 

Smarter Water Management 

Water conservation has always been a priority at Drive & Shine. We were among the first in the industry to implement advanced water recycling systems, using only 10% fresh water for every 200 gallons consumed. Our eight-tank filtration process ensures thorough contaminant separation, setting a higher benchmark compared to the industry’s typical one-to-four-tank systems. 

WE RECYCLE OVER 80% At Drive & Shine, we believe in doing our part for the environment. Over 80% of the water used during each wash is recycled, helping us minimize waste while delivering exceptional results. 

10% FRESH WATER By utilizing advanced water recycling technology, we limit our use of fresh water to only 10%, conserving this precious resource while maintaining the highest standards of service. 

Beyond recycling, we also handle wash solids responsibly by working with licensed haulers to ensure proper disposal, preventing harmful environmental impact. 

Eco-Friendly Products 

Unlike many in the industry that still use harsh, acid-based soaps, Drive & Shine relies exclusively on biodegradable wash products. This choice safeguards the environment while ensuring that every wash meets our high standards of cleanliness and care. 

Green Spaces that Inspire 

Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at the wash bay. We believe in creating greener communities by planting trees, bushes, and other landscaping elements around our facilities. These green spaces enhance the environment while providing a welcoming atmosphere for our customers. 

Making a Measurable Impact 

• 80% of wash water is recycled for ongoing use.
• Biodegradable soaps protect local ecosystems.
• LED lighting and VFD motors lower energy consumption.
• Used oil is recycled to heat our facilities.
• Fresh water use is limited to 10% of total consumption.

At Drive & Shine, sustainability is not an afterthought—it’s the foundation of how we operate. By investing in innovative technologies and eco-friendly practices, we reduce our carbon footprint, conserve valuable resources, and deliver a cleaner, greener car care experience.

By building nearly all of our equipment through Custom Fab & Weld, Drive & Shine ensures the highest level of quality, durability, and consistency in every wash. Instead of relying on third-party suppliers for critical components, we design our systems with our customers in mind—focusing on vehicle safety, speed, and a spotless finish. This commitment to craftsmanship sets us apart from many other car wash companies. 

When you visit any Drive & Shine location, you’re experiencing more than just a car wash—you’re experiencing engineering built for performance. From our flat-belt conveyors that make entry seamless, to our Neoglide Foam Wraps that polish instead of scratching, every detail is designed to protect your vehicle while delivering the cleanest wash possible.

This is the system used at Drive & Shine. Neoglide® is an American-made foam material designed to knock off dirt and grime rather than wipe it off, which reduces the risk of scratching.
