Desert Auto Spa & Car Wash, Scottsdale

When most people think of places to unwind, they probably don't consider the car wash. But Desert Auto Spa & Car aims to challenge that notion. Their on-site lounge is equipped with Wi-Fi and Direct TV to entertain customers as they wait for their cars to be cleaned. Seven days a week, the auto center provides services ranging from standard washes, which include an interior vacuuming and towel-dry finish, to more comprehensive packages such as the platinum wash, which is performed entirely by hand using terry-cloth washing mitts. In addition to detailing, on-site technicians can repair fractured glass and apply tinted Solar Guard window film to reduce sun damage and keep car interiors cooler than a penguin wearing sunglasses.
