They have it down to a science, and they top off other things
like the windshield wiper fluid. Could I do it, of course, but
why. Then for a couple extra dollars, they wash my car and clean
the interior. It's like a day at the spa for my car for not much
money.

I really don't see any glory in getting all dirty doing that
stuff anymore.
