Car Detailing Gift Cards — Digital, Any Amount, Redeemable Anywhere in the GTA

A car detail is a gift people would never buy themselves and are glad to receive: a few hours where someone else deals with the crumbs, the salt stains and the dog hair, in their own driveway, on their own schedule. Auto Royale gift cards are digital, come in any amount you choose, and are delivered by text or email to the recipient, or to you if you'd rather hand it over inside a card.

They work on any service we offer, from an express wash to a ceramic coating, anywhere we serve in the GTA, and they never expire. That means a gift bought in December can be used in April when the salt finally comes off the roads.

How to buy one

Call or text us with four things: the amount, the recipient's name, how you'd like it delivered (their phone number for text, their email, or yours), and the date you want it sent. Add a short personal message if you like and we'll include it. You pay by credit card, debit, cash or Interac e-Transfer, and the gift card goes out as a digital card with a unique code.

Not sure what amount to pick? Tell us the car and the kind of service you have in mind, whether that's an interior refresh for a new parent, a full inside-and-out for someone's first car, or a proper paint correction for an enthusiast, and we'll suggest an amount that covers it.

How the recipient redeems it

The recipient calls or texts us, mentions the gift card code, and books whatever service they want at whatever address they want in the GTA, at any hour, since we're open 24/7. If the service they pick costs more than the card, they pay the difference on the day. If it costs less, we keep the remaining value on the card for a later booking. There's no form to fill out and no expiry date to race.

• Works for any service, at any GTA address we serve
• Can be spread across more than one booking
• Redeemed by text or call, no account or app required

Occasions that suit a detailing gift card

The obvious ones are birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day and Christmas. The ones people don't think of are often better: a new car or a new G2 driver, a baby on the way, a friend who just moved into a condo with underground parking and no hose, a realtor or contractor who lives in their vehicle, or a thank-you to the person who drove you to every appointment last year.

• Birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas and Hanukkah
• New car, new driver, new baby, new condo
• Thank-you gifts for colleagues, clients and coaches
• Employee appreciation for staff who drive for work
• Housewarmings and graduations

Sending a gift card to someone in a different city

Because the card is digital, you can be anywhere in the world and buy one for someone in the GTA. Parents in Vancouver send them to kids at school in Toronto; adult children overseas send them to a parent in Scarborough or Mississauga who can't get to a wash easily. The only requirement is that the recipient's car is somewhere we serve: Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill or Vaughan. Pay by credit card link from wherever you are, or by e-Transfer from any Canadian bank account.

Best for

• Last-minute birthday and holiday gifts
• New-car and new-driver presents
• Thank-you gifts for people who drive for a living
• Family buying for someone in the GTA from out of town

Typical time: A gift card is usually sent the same day you buy it, and the recipient books at a time that suits them.
