You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it, which is why you should always be wary of street signs labeled “definitely not a tar pit.” Don’t get fooled again with today’s Groupon to Laguna Auto Spa, in front of Fox Valley Mall in Aurora. Additional fees of $1 for SUVs and $2 for large vans will be required. Choose between the following options:

• For $8, you get one Kowabunga car wash (a $16 value).
• For $24, you get three Kowabunga car washes (a $48 value).
  
  

Laguna Auto Spa’s soft-cloth wash pampers cars with Meguiar’s soaps and waxes seven days of the week. The Kowabunga kicks off with a full-service wash, during which gentle cloths sweep away dirt and residue. Next, coats of polish wax and sealant wax lure glossy hues from the painted finish, an undercarriage wash blasts away grime below, and rust inhibitor armors the undersides to protect the metal from oxidation or hungry goats. After a hand-towel dry, technicians tend to the inside with a debris-sniffing vacuum and transform smudged interiors into sparkling cabins with a wipe down of the dash, door jambs, and steering column. An air freshener punctuates the dirt purging, pacifying noses with fresh scents.

Tiki-hut grass and tropical décor adorns Laguna Auto Spa’s beach-themed waiting lounge, where plush chairs invite drivers to recline and enjoy TV entertainment or daydream about the time their car won a surfing competition. Though not included with this Groupon, Laguna Auto Spa also offers an array of detailing services. Drivers roll away with newfound confidence thanks to the spa’s two-day exterior-wash guarantee.
