"As I pulled into the Pemex gas station the cheerful uniformed attendant bounded up to my window and that feeling of being pampered Baja style all came back to me..."
Life is busy for most of us. We plan, work, exercise, entertain and are responsible for a myriad of duties in our daily life. The daily grind can be exhausting for most and the challenges can wear us down over time. It is for this reason we all deserve the “full-service” lifestyle. We deserve to be pampered. We deserve that bit of extra service that makes life enjoyable and takes the edge off the draining effect of our modern life. It would be great if, in every aspect of our daily life, we were given full service like royalty.
While this is typically only available to people with very significant financial resources Baja offers just this way of life to all of us. In many parts of our life, on this glorious coast, there exists that extra level of service. Service that elevates your lifestyle to a different echelon. Start with the simplicity of getting gas. Pull up to the pump and the uniformed Pemex professional comes running to the car ready to serve. Call for rojo (premium) or verde (regular) and the gas flows without a single movement on your part. The windows are scoured to perfection and all the your automotive fluids are checked. Heck, they’ll even inflate your tires. Meanwhile you are presented with goods for sale by low pressure vendors with tamales, flowers and other curios. It is truly a service station.

When it comes to car care it gets even better; Once a week the guys will show up at your home with their pressure washer and all the necessary gear to make you car sparkle, inside and out. A full detail of the car goes for a measly $10. They come to your house, move the cars in and out of the garage, take care of everything all while you go about what is more important for you. This is a far cry from sitting in the Shell station robot washing system waiting for the blowers to come on. They even take everything out of the car and neatly organize it throughout the garage. Golf clubs are put away,groceries brought into the house and a box of miscellaneous toys and stuff are left inside the from door. Elmer you are a gem!
In the case of a break down you can have the mechanic come to you. Unprecedented in our lives in the US. Qualified mechanics will don their coveralls and shuttle their tools to your garage, your yard or the roadside, where you have broken down, to aid you in your peril. Change your oil or rebuild your alternator, they are there quickly and guarantee their work, at again, a fraction of US prices. 
Home Helpers
Our houses are cleaned by grateful cleaning ladies who love their job and usually bring a treat of enchiladas, gorditas or burritos just as a bonus. The scrub, shine and organize the whole house into a gleaming palatial presence. We have gifted gardeners who manicure our grounds with precision and care. Our maintenance men show up at a moment's notice to fix any aberration or install any home improvement. Fix the plumbing? New ceiling fan?...no problem. This is all done for a small fraction of the price of a visit from a stateside service.
Going out for the evening is never a concern as our children's nannies are caring loving and always willing to care, cook and keep a loving eye on our children. They are truly an extension of our family. They aim to serve and keep our lives running easy and smooth.
Out to dinner and the experience continues from the pleasant greetings, to tortillas being made to order in the corner of the restaurant, to the attentive servers who will bow to your every request down to the flaming Mexican coffee at the end of your meal. Tableside live music makes its way to your meal with a request-only playlist and one is never harassed with the bill until the desire to leave is made clear.
Most of us live in resorts where the maintenance staff caters to any needs that may come about. Besides keeping the pools, tennis courts, health clubs and grounds in pristine condition they are on the circumspect for peripheral tasks required by resort residents. You need your furniture moved or your kayaks taken out to the beach they are there. Satellite dish set up or taking out the trash they are always there. One of our neighbors takes his fishing zodiac out each week and the staff is there at 5:30am to launch him and are at his disposal when he returns the help with the boat and the catch.
Catered Care
When we get sick we can have a house call if we like. You can sign up for a service with one of the local private healthcare providers and they will include house calls in your plan. Health care bring the greatest surprise with excellent care available at a fraction of a price. New hospitals in the area are revered for being on par or better than most in the US. Elective services in the area offer great opportunities with
cosmetic surgery, laproscopy and cosmetic dentistry.
Wellness providers will come to your door on request as well. We can even care complete spa treatments right to our door. Facial, massage, pedicure and coiffure all in the convenience of your home for a fraction of the price that you would pay if your drove yourself to their spa in the states
