Maintaining your car's engine without maintaining its appearance is like working out without ever showering; sooner or later, a pile of cheeseburger wrappers and old milk jugs will immobilize your machine. Maintain your functioning frame with today's Groupon: for $47, you get T-Mac's Auto Detailing's express detailing service (a $95 value). This Groupon is not valid for limos or commercial trucks, but you can apply the value toward an upgraded service and pay the difference.

The express detailing begins with a hand wash and towel dry, along with an interior wipe-down and vacuuming. Windows are just doors if you can’t see through them, so a meticulous washing will blast smears on both sides of the glass until everything is superbly transparent. Next, your tires are dressed with a charming flavor of shine, and, finally, your road warrior's paint job is buffed up for battle with a hand waxing and a bug-and-tar remover.

A reliable car—like a good dog—eventually becomes a de-facto member of the family. While that doesn’t make it normal to call your car “Daddy,” it is a good reason to take your car to a dependable establishment where the employees treat you like one of their own. T-Mac's will help make sure that your ride runs smoothly through an entire year of hectic commutes, family vacations, and "gah-zoline" raids from marauding gangs of mutant Australians.

This Groupon is good for new customers only. You must call or email to schedule an appointment.
