Me too. I spend about a month a year in Phoenix, and it is just lousy with Teslas.

The Model 3 is going to get a long hard look from me when it comes out.

I love the orange roadster that's in town and a black one that has the plate,

EDIT: There's a mobile detailing company that car people in Calgary know pretty well,

They do pick-up and delivery service. Jed does great work and know friends that used his services with positive results.

Thanks. Any other recommendations? Jed gets pricey at $75/hr when his services will likely run me 5-6 hours.

Unfortunately, I don't especially with your constraint of downtown proximity. A weekend session is doable in any of these places though.

Got 2 kids and my better half works weekends. It would have to be somewhere where I could occupy the munchkins for a couple of hours nearby plus takes appointments.

Is Groupon still a thing? There always seemed to be a detailing option on there a few years ago.

Have you looked for a place around LRT stations or a bus line? Slightly more hassle, but might work.

I think the key is to find a place that is not in pricey downtown.

What about the petro canada on 4 St and 20 Ave SW? Not sure if they'd hold your car all day or not though

How old are munchkins? Put them to work.

[lineman]

Just think, their little digits are an asset when it comes getting into those nooks and crannies inside your vehicle.

The oldest wouldn't be too bad though I'd question the quality and end up doing it again anyway. The tiny digits on the youngest would be the only assistance she could provide and she'd rather be playing in the backyard than helping out. Looks like a flex day with both kids out of the house may be the best option.

I was just in Seattle. It seems like EVERYONE has one there. The Model S too!
I am with you brother, I want one badly!
