These are year-long contracts that are customized to fit the client’s service needs during their period of absence from Florida. The Basic Package is a once a month service (6 services) that includes 10-point care with each service. The Platinum Package is a twice a month service (12 services). Additional services can be added to fit the client’s schedule. Platinum Packages are ideal for high-end computer aided automobiles that require more frequent performance evaluation and diagnostic assessment.

What do you do about the battery?
Depending upon the make, model, and age of your vehicle, we do different things to prevent the battery from running down. For older vehicles, the negative terminal on the battery can simply be disconnected and reconnected on a monthly basis without any harm to the vehicle. Optimally, we prefer our clients to use trickle chargers that produce a stream of power to the battery on a constant basis. This is only an option if electric is available at your parking location. Newer automobiles, particularly higher end computer aided vehicles, require the battery to be hooked up continuously. Disconnecting these batteries can actually cause harm to the on-board computer system.
Is hand washing and waxing included with 10-Point Services?
A regular wash and vac are included for all Package clients prior to any arrival. Hand washing and waxing are à la carte services that are purchased separately and are also available to the public throughout the year. We use Meguiar’s NXT Generation Tech 2.0 Wax which leaves a super quality see yourself shine. This is a HAND wax treatment using no machines or tools.
Where are vehicles maintained?
Most clients (95%) have us take care of their vehicle at their home or condo if they have a car- port or garage. For those owners who need storage facilities, we provide 10 x 20-foot garages in gated and secured facilities. We offer both climate control and regular storage options. We also maintain vehicles in open air parking lots when desired. In that event and in place of covers, we use custom cut and fitted windshield shades to block the sun from the vehicle’s interior. A cover on an exposed vehicle will do more harm than good.
What type of car covers do you use?
We use covers made of spun-bond polypropylene that is breathable, lightweight, and water resistant. There is no thread over thread weaving in the technology of the fabric. Therefore, there is no abrasive edge to the fabric that could scratch the vehicle.
What do you do with my car in the event of a hurricane?
The ideal option for your vehicle is to keep it in your deeded spot. This ensures double protection from both your auto insurance and homeowners policy in the event of a hurricane. However, if you prefer to have your vehicle relocated from the Gulf when Naples is within the cone of uncertainty, you can arrange for this emergency service at an additional cost.
Do you provide auto shipping and receiving?
We provide flexible vehicle shipping and receiving to and from anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Regardless of whether you are in Florida or not, we can pick your car up and have it delivered to the shipper for delivery Northbound. Alternatively, upon your return to Florida, we will have your vehicle received, washed, vacuumed, and delivered to your home or condo.
Do you provide airport transportation?
We provide a true auto valet service for RSW, PGD, and Naples Airports. This means YOUR CAR will be washed, vacuumed, and delivered to the airport before your arrival. Alternatively, we will pick up and deliver your vehicle back to your home or condo following your departure. This valuable service frees up your time so that you can enjoy every second of your time in Florida.
How are keys managed?
The management of keys varies depending on the location, property/condo managers, and the owner’s preferences. We maintain a locked-down facility for the secure storage of keys. Some condominiums require that keys be left at the front desk and checked out when needed.
What are your accepted methods of payment?
We accept cash and personal or business checks for maintenance and à la carte services.
How do your services differ from property management/homewatch companies?
Auto Nanny is the only company in Florida fully insured to drive your vehicle. Many owners mistakenly believe that simply granting permission is enough. However, any company paid to manage a vehicle must carry “HIRED AUTO” insurance. We offer a certificate of liability as proof of our coverage.
What our clients say
I have known John for 8 years. He is loyal, trustworthy, dependable, and all around a pleasure to work with. He is always genuinely concerned about your well being, and your vehicle. You will surely be impressed with his services.
I wanted you to know that your assistance over the years has been immeasurable! My husband and I have depended on you for so many strange requests over the years and you have always been happy to assist in any way possible. From receiving packages to reregistering our Ontario plates to FL plates, assistance selling my Toyota Avalon and even to helping this past year with assisting in transferring the title of my husband’s Avalon into my name after my he passed. We never had to worry about the kids coming down to use the place and cars. You have taken all the worry out of leaving vehicles in Florida and we certainly appreciate that! We have experienced the alternative!
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love you Airport Valet Service!!! Our family fly’s in and out quite regularly and depending on a “driver” and a “clean car” is sometimes a sketchy thing especially if flights are delayed or if we or our guests are flying in with children. Having OUR Range Rover, WASHED and DELIVERED prior to our arrival is a GODSEND!!!! Awesome business!!
I wanted to write you to thank you for taking such great care of my parents for the past 12 years. Dad and Mom used your services at their condo on Gulf Shore Blvd. N. and mentioned you fondly on their return home on several occasions. Your expert car service kept Dads old Cadillac in pristine condition. He loved that old car as it was a gift from the law firm at his retirement. He always commented on how nice it looked whenever they arrived and how convenient it was to have all the service needs taken care of for them in their absence. Mom told the story numerous times how you saved them at Coastland Mall when they locked their keys in their car and you brought the set you had. Sadly, Dad passed this last January and Mom isn’t with us enough to be alone anymore and is in residential care up here in MD. We understand you might be able to help with shipping the Cadillac north as Dad wanted Dale our son to have it for college next year. Any help you can give us is appreciated. Again, you are our family Hero!
