Without regular exposure to human touch, skittish cars lash out against their owners, resulting in spontaneously locked doors and bite marks left by feral glove compartments. Enlist a professional car whisperer with today's Groupon: for $79, you get a classic auto interior detail service (a $119.99 value) with a choice of deodorizing treatment, leather seat conditioning, or stain-protectant application (a $39.99 value each) at Car Toys, valid at the Veradale and Spokane locations (a $173.90 total value including tax).

Car Toys' certified auto detailers revitalize automotive insides with the classic interior detail for standard cars, sedans, and trucks. Skilled technicians begin by vacuuming seats, carpets, and the trunk or rear cargo area until dust is a distant memory. The dash, vents, instruments, and trim are then cleaned and dressed to the nines, and all cloth and leather surfaces are wiped free of dirt and debris.

A piping-hot water extract is administered to carpets and floor mats before doorjambs are tidied and windows get wiped clean, restoring underfoot cushiness and that new window smell. After the completed interior detail, customers choose to receive either an ozone machine deodorizing treatment that neutralizes the stubborn scents of smoke, mildew, and pets while evicting airborne bacteria; a leather conditioning treatment; or an application of stain protectant to curb blotches caused by chili-dog loving carpets.

By reclaiming all of the water and cleaners it uses on vehicles, Car Toys trains an earth-loving shrink ray on its carbon footprint. The soiled materials are captured and stored until they can be recycled or restored, meaning no dirty water gets released into an area where it can negatively impact either the environment nor Mother Nature's new white sneakers.
