Before the advent of the mechanic, village alchemists were sought out to lubricate dry engines, repair damage, and heal GPS systems hexed by out-of-work cartographers. Plan your route to a seasoned pro with today's Groupon: for $14, you get a car-care package at Colorado Auto Finders Service Center (a $54.98 value). The package includes:
- An oil change
- A 30-point inspection
Colorado Auto Finders Service Center's technicians, who are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, lure peak performances from engines. The one-hour service includes up to 5 quarts of conventional oil and a clean filter, which stands guard by screening oil for contaminants and bumper stickers examining new career paths. After the oil change, technicians follow a 30-point itinerary that directs them to assess the tires’ condition and replenish depleted fluids. The team also scopes out brake linings, calipers, and wheel cylinders to ensure safe operation even when autos are stuck behind tours reenacting the mailman's day. After examining the exhaust system, battery, lights, steering, and more than 15 other vitals, techs send cars off to roam the vast roadways full of health and vigor.
