With automobiles facing extinction, car lovers are setting up forest preserves where these magnificent beasts can freely roam without fear of being hunted for their luxurious steel-and-aluminum coats and fuzzy dice.

Yaletown Auto Spa keeps cars classy and vehicles vivacious with a slate of detailing services. To help prepare your jalopy for its sold-out lecture on Galilean invariance, one of the friendly car-care professionals will gently wash the vehicle's exterior by hand, cleaning the rims, Windex-ing the windows, dressing the tires, and completing the exterior service with a chamois-dry. Vehicular innards will also be tended to, since the car wash includes a complete interior vacuuming of the car and its trunk, a scrubbing and pressure-washing of rubber mats, a wipe down of the dashboard and consoles, and a wipe down of the door jamb. During the mini detail (starting at $70), Yaletown Auto Spa will clean thriving ecosystems from the wheel wells and will shampoo, scrub, and steam clean the floor mats or, as they're more commonly known, the "underfoot toupees."

Whether you need to undo the more-cosmetic effects of last week's neighbourhood demolition derby or you simply want to polish up your badgerless carriage before putting it back on the market, Yaletown Auto Spa's skilled staff is equipped to handle all sizes and models of vehicles. Give your gas-fuelled counterpart the tender, loving care that a spitshine won't provide with a car wash and mini detail from Yaletown Auto Spa.
