I can't imagine the difficulty in trying to even get into the car, let alone washing it every single day for two months (sometimes three) every year. What a waste of water.
Is there even any kind of method to shift their location? Like, make the spot they've chosen to be as unattractive to them as possible, so they'll choose the back wall of your house instead of the front door? Or lure them so that they actually like the place, just - in a different spot?

Not sure that there are any steps to get them to shift their location. This year has seen greater numbers of the flies around, and some years, you may not see any in your location. I’ve been lucky for the past few years, low numbers, if any lovebugs around my house, this year, lots. They’ll vanish within the next week and you’ll be lovebug free till spring. They are an inconvenience but harmless. They are a part of this area’s insect population. Have you read this?
