Default is this a good deal?

I saw on my local Acura dealership's website that they're having a special of $40 for a handwash, wax, and vacuuming. Is this a good price? It's gotten too cold to go out and do it myself but I'd like to get my gsr cleaned up a bit. The paint is getting pretty dull, especially on the bumpers. I would imagine the dealership would do a pretty good job. :dunno:

I'd sooner pay $40, rather than do it my self this time of year.

I don't mind washing my car & cleaning the interior, but waxing in the winter is out of question.

werd...that's what i was thinking. how does this compare to how much they normally charge? i've never really looked into it. i just happened to be on their site looking up some parts.

Sounds like a regular full car wash which is $10 + tip over here.

My father used to work for Acura and considering the work they put into detailing it. It's a safe bet that it's better to pay the 40. Back in the day my father used to make 50-100 for detailing cars at his dealership.
