Like an Olympic sprinter with his head stuck in a stairway banister, vehicle engines desperately need lubrication if they're going to run properly. Oil up with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $24 for an oil change, tire rotation, and 41-point inspection (a $48.95 value)
• $45 for two oil changes, tire rotations, and 41-point inspections (a $97.90 value)
• $25 for $50 worth of parts and labor

The seasoned ASE-certified technicians at Tuffy Auto Service squeeze peak performances out of flagging automobiles with booster shots of oil, repair, and preventive-maintenance services. During each oil change, techs swap troublemaking fluids for up to 6 quarts of clean oil, slap on a dutiful new filter, and reposition tires to extend their life and introduce them to eligible axles. Next, eagle-eyed technicians lead a 41-point inspection around the vehicle in search of potential hazards or performance-obstructing problems.

Alternatively, staffers can extend the life of brake systems, keeping drivers safe by ensuring drum and disk brakes are operating effectively . They view brakes as a car's most important safety feature, and they heed noises and check fluid levels before recommending repairs. Mechanics can also perform air-conditioning recharges, readying vehicles for summer, and engine diagnostics ferry out problems caused by overheating, corroded cables, or filling up the gas tank with Gatorade.

This Groupon is redeemable at the West Des Moines or Clive locations.
