Making sure your car is as spick and span as the day it followed you home is important for maintaining man/machine friendship, which, if left unmaintained, can lead to a heartbreak and engine failure. Solidify your bond with today's deal: for $25, you get $50 worth of car-wash and detailing services at Bubbles Car Wash, which has two locations on Macleod Trail. This deal's value must be used in a single visit.

Bubbles Car Wash offers a wide array of ride-rejuvenating wash and detail services. All wash packages include an exterior cleansing, consisting of a powerful hose-down that blasts away squatting specks of dirt; a hand wash that utilizes soft mitts and horse hair brushes to coddle your car into cleanliness submission; and a buff, polish, and air-dry that lovingly blows away excess moisture from the exterior, leaving your car shinier than a balding rainbow fish's scalp. The high-gloss exterior package ($27.95+) also includes a triple foam clear-coat conditioner, hot wax, and rust inhibitor, while "the works" ($43.95 for cars, $46.95 for SUVs, trucks, and vans) incorporates an interior vacuum, window wash, and dusting. The Rain-X package sticks to the same wash formula and tacks on Rain-X advanced water-repelling technology, capable of shooing away scaredy-cat water molecules with a simple "boo." Detailing services are available in packages or a la carte and include vinyl protection, leather cream protection, and tire dressings.

Sip on complimentary coffee, engage your eyes and cranial jello with a no-charge newspaper, and access the Internet in Bubble's inviting lounge space. Relax and numb out to some satellite TV, all the while knowing the skilled and friendly staff is whipping your wagon into tip-top shape.
