What you are looking at

Pelican occupies two buildings on the same stretch of US Highway 19 North, and almost everything people find confusing about the business is explained by that fact. The southern building at 31425 is the car wash, the detail bays, the hand wax area, the window tint work and the quick lube. The northern building at 31465 is Pelican Auto Care, which is a mechanical repair shop with its own bays, its own lifts and its own team.

The photographs below are sorted by that division rather than by subject, because knowing which driveway to turn into is more useful than knowing which lens took the picture. Use the filter to see one building at a time.

Nothing here is stock photography of somebody else's premises. Every frame was taken on this lot, of this equipment, and the captions say where. Where a photograph shows a service that has its own page, that page carries the detail, the inclusions and the price where a price is published.

Filter by building. Car Wash & Quick Lube is 31425, Auto Care is 31465.
