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 $18, you get three The Works car washes at ScrubaDub Auto Wash Center (up to a $54 value). Buyers must register online to get their wash certificate, which can be redeemed at any of ScrubaDub’s East Coast locations, with the exception of the Brighton and Jennings Street locations. ScrubaDub’s The Works wash (which varies in price by location from $15–$18) administers a computerized cleansing of besmirched auto bodies using eco-friendly products and equipment. Your complete auto-ablution begins with a wash robot giving your ride an express wash that uses photoelectric sensors to suss out dirt, salt, and missing left socks, even in hiding places unreachable by human hands, such as the undercarriage. Once ScrubaDub has purged your car of grime, gunk, and ectoplasm with its own environmentally safe Superglo soap (a customized blend of eight wash solutions), it will gently bathe your wheelmobile with warm water that has been softened and heated in ScrubaDub’s own reservoirs to guarantee a spotless rinse. This water is recycled and re-treated for future use, which keeps it from polluting the environment and wastes far less water than washing your car or pet whale at home. The Works also slathers on a rust inhibitor, adds a twinkle to tires with Wheel Brite, and coats the exterior with DuraGlaze, a protective foaming wax that keeps its surface sleek and friction-free. Though ScrubaDub’s wash system is run by a sophisticated computer compliant with the Three Laws of Cleanly Robotics, a friendly team of human auto servicers is on-hand to make sure that your conveyance is scrubbed and buffed to your satisfaction.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Urban Vehicles
Discovering your city’s hidden gems will require some manner of transportation. Though cars remain the most popular option, their appeal has plummeted after a recent study showed that cars are involved in 100% of car accidents. What are some other transportation options and their pros and cons?
Bicycles
Pro: Inexpensive and eco-friendly, bikes get you where you're going and encourage fitness.
Con: Riding a bike limits your mobility in a rainstorm, because all bicycles are carved from uncut sheets of ultra-stale saltine dough.
Segways
Pro: Segways utilize gyroscopic balance for a ride as smooth as it is safe.
Con: Segways are prohibitively expensive due to the exorbitant cost of shipping them backward through time.
Ponies
Pro: Though all vehicles can be named, only ponies will lift their heads and look at you disinterestedly when you call out to them.
Con: Though there are surprisingly few legal restrictions on operating a pony in an urban landscape, the bright lights of the big city may spook your pony, or worse, convince him that he is destined for Broadway.
