$13 for a Full-Service Car Wash at Auto Spa on Layton Avenue ($26.45 Value)
Unlike cats and germaphobes, automobiles need to be reminded to wash themselves. Drop a blatant hint to your lazy ride with today’s Groupon: for $13, you get an Inside n Out car wash at Auto Spa , located near General Mitchell International Airport (a $26.45 value). During each Inside n Out wash , skilled buggy bathers spruce up interiors and uncover the shiny coats of road-weary wagons, flushing out grime for hand-washed annihilation. Tested techs vacuum your roadster’s every nook and cranny, right down to the dashboard and cup holders, while glass guardians erase the thumb-smeared haikus of wandering poets. Underbelly washing helps stave off rust and dislodge street barnacles. The spa’s team of auto aestheticians won’t quit before they hand-dry your steel chariot, rinse its rims, and bathe its tires in wheel bright. While sedans purr along to cleansing strokes, drivers can peruse the gift shop, surf the free Internet service, or plan a different commute route that doesn’t require gunning it full throttle through the neighbor’s tar pit.
