Gift cards are now available

Gift cards are now available for Legacy Automotive Solutions, and they can go toward any of our services. That includes the car and SUV detail packages, a ceramic coating, and RV or motorhome work.

Detailing is an unusually good gift, and the reason is slightly unflattering to all of us. It is a job almost everybody agrees is worth doing and almost nobody actually books for themselves. It sits on the list behind everything urgent, and it stays there. A gift card moves it off the list, because now somebody else has already paid for it.

Who these tend to be bought for

In practice, three groups.

• New parents, whose vehicle has quietly changed character and who have no spare afternoon to deal with it
• Anyone who has just bought a vehicle and wants it properly protected before the first summer, which usually means a ceramic coating rather than a detail
• RV and motorhome owners, who own the one vehicle that is genuinely difficult to take anywhere to be cleaned

That last group is the one worth thinking about hardest. Cleaning a thirty five foot travel trailer is a full day on a ladder with the right equipment, and it is the sort of job people put off for years. Because we are 100% mobile, the whole thing happens where the rig is parked.

How they work with a mobile business

Our services are 100% mobile and by appointment only. That changes one thing about redeeming a gift card compared with a shop: there is nowhere to walk into, so the recipient calls to book a time and we come to their home or office with everything the job needs.

It also means the card does not lock anyone into a specific service on the day it is bought. If you buy toward a detail and the recipient decides what they really want is a ceramic coating, the value goes toward that instead. All we ask is that the vehicle is described honestly when the appointment is made, because prices are based on average vehicle size and condition and any upcharge is discussed before the work starts.

Choosing an amount

There is no single right number, but the published prices make it easy to aim at something specific rather than guessing.

• $149 covers the Legacy Special, a full interior and exterior refresh taking one to two hours
• $249 covers the Legacy Signature Detail, which adds the deep interior clean, clay bar and wax
• $349 covers the Legacy Royal Treatment, including scratch and swirl removal and an ozone treatment
• $429 covers a ceramic coating for a car or small SUV
• A partial amount works perfectly well toward RV services, which are priced by the foot

Trucks, SUVs and third row vehicles carry a $25 addition each on the car packages, which is worth knowing if you want the card to cover a package outright rather than partly.

Military and first responder discounts

Military and first responder discounts are available and are unaffected by a gift card. If either applies to the person receiving it, mention it when the appointment is booked.
