If your body is the vehicle in which you traverse life’s freeways, yours is feeling like a rundown ‘73 Pinto with a maxed-out odometer.

Time for a tune-up. Pull into The Massage Garage, L.A.’s ingenious new day spa. Proprietors Lauren Cresto and Donna Donnelly, inspired by this city’s automobile obsession, gave the place an industrial-meets-Zen garage theme (the logo is a license plate; leather car seats adorn the reception area). And the resemblance is more than skin deep: Clients can zoom in for a quick round of maintenance at an amazingly reasonable price.

Choose from three time choices — Test Drive (30 minutes for $30), Tune Up (60 minutes for $45), or Overhaul (90 minutes for $70) — and from six treatments — Detailing (deep tissue), Baby on Board (pregnancy massage), Tire Rotation (reflexology), and Buff and Shine (European facial). An affordable, quick, and much-needed getaway.

Just what you need to keep those fenders polished and that engine purring.

The Massage Garage, 3812 Bagley Avenue, at Main Street (310-202-0082).
