Unlike cats and germaphobes, automobiles need to be reminded to wash themselves. Drop a blatant hint to your lazy ride with today's Groupon at arborMotion on State Circle. Choose from two options:

• For $65, you get a deluxe auto detail package (a $149.95 value).
• For $45, you get a four-wheel alignment (a $95 value).

As Ann Arbor's largest independent automotive servicing facility, arborMotion cleanses vehicles at its Attention 2 Detail center, tending to cars, trucks, and SUVs alike. Here, Detail Manager Martin Lunceford dusts off autos from the inside out, treating them to an interior and exterior detail. The facility's deluxe detail package begins with a dashboard and center console scrubbing, followed by a full vacuum of carpeting and seats, purging fuzz, French fries, and snow globes. Cars' pelts and mats undergo a steamy cleansing and shampooing, before door jambs are deloused and interior door panels are de-grimed. Following each interior scrub down, Attention 2 Detail shines exteriors with a hand-wash and one-step hand wax. Windows become sparkly, and tire rims are cleaned and dressed like a British boy whose mum caught him playing with chocolate syrup behind the mulberry bush. Wheel well and bug-off treatments remove gnats and mosquitoes.

Those whose cars remain naturally clean all the time may tap arborMotion's team of highest-level certified auto techs to tweak their wheels into aligned states. Addressing suspension issues return cars to their optimal, straightaway cruising paths, protecting against unusual tire wear and conserving fuel. With either the cleaning or straightening service, car owners may unwind in the facility's waiting room with coffee and cruise complimentary Wi-Fi via laptop or easily transportable desktop. You can also take advantage of arborMotion's complimentary shuttle service to get home or to the office, or borrow loaner vehicles, bicycles, and transportation-gulls, by appointment.

• From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions and went out of their way to accomodate [sic] my schedule. It was a great experience from start to finish. My car hasn't been this clean since the day I bought it. – Kelly B., Customer Lobby
