Today's Groupon gets you a car wash, wax, and light interior cleaning at Keatley Detail, a new premium carwashery that pampers autos with the tender care most people reserve for friends, pets, and lonely mail carriers. You get a Stage One detail, which includes a thorough exterior wash that scrubs the bugs off the grill, gets the grime off the wheels and wheel wells, and rubs the muck off the underside of the bumper. The interior cleaning squeegies away peanut butter smears on the window, wipes off peanut butter on the dashboard, cleans the peanut butter out of the center console and door jams, vacuums up globs of peanut butter embedded in the carpet, and spoons old peanut butter out the ashtray to make a peanut butter sandwich. Then Keatley's detail-devotees slather your ride with a thick coat of wax until it gleams brighter than burning barrels of peanut butter.

To keep your vehicle in top shape, gear heads generally advise getting an oil change every 3,000 miles or three to six months—or after every seemingly coincidental encounter with that mysterious goat. Fortunately, the friendly, certified technicians at Pennzoil Speed Oil Change Center can provide your full-service oil change for up to five quarts of regular Pennzoil oil in 10 minutes flat. At the same time, they'll perform checks and top-offs of essential fluids, including power-steering, transmission or transaxle, battery, window-washer, radiator, and differential fluids. Likewise, they'll insert a new oil filter, properly inflate the tires, check wiper blades, adjust flux capacitors, lubricate the chassis, and scope out the air filter (of most cars) for any suspicious activity. These show-offs will even slap on a 3,000-mile or three-month service warranty, and Groupon customers will also receive a free promotional gift, rewards card, and $10 gift certificate.

Typically, car washes don't have giant foaming water guns that can be controlled by customers—fortunately, Capitol Premier Car Wash does. Access the infamous FunGun and, more importantly, have your vehicle cleaned inside and out with a "The Works" package. The auto overhaul begins with a thorough washing of your vehicle's well-weathered exterior. During this stage, you or someone you love very much may operate the aforementioned FunGun, which shoots foaming water for a brief, yet blissful few moments. Fun and guns aside, the cleaning team then moves in, polishing and sealing the exterior and moving through the underbody, tire dressings, and wheels. In addition, the outer surfaces receive a final burst of protection from Rain-X, which improves visibility and eats clouds for breakfast.

At Pavilion Car Care, technicians keep vehicles running smoothly and looking good with an onsite car wash, detail center, and quick-lube service.

À la carte cleaning services target water spots or dusty floor mats. Techs can also perform engine maintenance, keeping pistons, serpentine belts, and gearboxes humming with Chevron-brand lubricants.
