Mike Mills and his team of technicians cater to every size and scope of roadster at Mills Automotive Care and Custom Detailing, where they perform treatments by hand. A basic hand wash is the jumping-off point for a fleet of detailing services that includes leather seat conditioning and polishing of chrome bumpers and rims. Technicians journey under the hood for engine detailing and minor auto repairs, and tint windows to keep dashboard hula girls from getting uneven tan lines.

One can be forgiven for initially mistaking Big City Car Wash and Detail for a high-end car dealership. Nearly every vehicle that parks at the end of their driveway sparkles with a showroom sheen, thanks to their meticulous washes and details. The company’s technicians perform jobs entirely by hand, from polishing steering wheels and dashboards to massaging stressed-out engine parts. They use only premium two-ply carbon or HP metallic base films for their window tints, all of which come with a lifetime guarantee.

Family owned and operated since 1916, this collection of car dealerships can skillfully service all horseless carriages. The veins of Duval Dealers' certified technicians run thick with motor oil and hydraulic fluid, giving them an innate understanding of a car's aches and pains. During the standard oil and filter change (a $19.99–$32.99 value), they'll install a new oil filter, refill up to five quarts of motor oil, and give the auto a multipoint inspection to make sure all the I's are crossed and the T's are exed. This Groupon does not cover additional or synthetic oil.

Owner and 26-year veteran of mechanical maintenance, John Fahey, cut his metal teeth fixing sand-chewed helicopters during the first Gulf War. He and his staff of friendly, Automotive Service Excellence–certified technicians know what it takes to get your steel steed purring again.

Finally, they'll cap everything with a tire rotation so your rubber donuts wear evenly, heading off dangerous blowouts and embarrassingly saggy tires that make your car look older than it actually is.
