Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace Automotive

Family owned and operated since 1916, this collection of car dealerships can skillfully service all horseless carriages. The veins of Duval Dealers' certified technicians run thick with motor oil and hydraulic fluid, giving them an innate understanding of a car's aches and pains. During the standard oil and filter change (a $19.99–$32.99 value), they'll install a new oil filter, refill up to five quarts of motor oil, and give the auto a multipoint inspection to make sure all the I's are crossed and the T's are exed. This Groupon does not cover additional or synthetic oil.

Owner and 26-year veteran of mechanical maintenance, John Fahey, cut his metal teeth fixing sand-chewed helicopters during the first Gulf War. He and his staff of friendly, Automotive Service Excellence–certified technicians know what it takes to get your steel steed purring again. After they pour in a fresh batch of delicious oil, the staff will check your vehicle's 17 most commonly vulnerable pressure points, not only explaining your car's needs and motivations, but also anticipating potential problems that could occur down the road. Finally, they'll cap everything with a tire rotation so your rubber donuts wear evenly, heading off dangerous blowouts and embarrassingly saggy tires that make your car look older than it actually is.

President Jack Hanania and his sales and service staff manage and maintain an inventory of brand new 2012 and 2011 Acura models and pre-owned vehicles. The factory-fresh sedans, SUVs, and wagons flaunt their prowess in the showroom and their agile handling during test-drives, and pre-owned vehicles honk with glee after passing in-depth quality inspections that validate their healthy vitals and robust parts. Staffed by certified technicians, the service department doles out oil changes and system services, administers repairs backed by OEM parts, and outfits cars with sleek new tint-films that prevent the sun from darkening the hides of interior armrests and canine passengers.

Working from two locations in Jacksonville, Gunner Tire's certified technicians help cars reach their maximum mileage with a range of maintenance and repair services. After performing free safety inspections, the team draws from a stockroom of top-brand tires by Michelin, Falken, and Cooper to outfit cars with the best spinners in every size. They confiscate dirty oil and replace it with standard or Mobile 1 premium fluids, and toss away dingy filters wrought with engine-clogging debris. While cars receive service, customers can lounge in shop's diner-like atmosphere, where black-and-white checkerboard floors and vintage red walls box in a coffee bar and fresh air saturated with complimentary WiFi.

The self-described "compulsive" technicians at Pamper Your Auto Detailing Spa pour their obsession into beautifying every detail on the cars, trucks, boats, and motorcycles that roll into their Gainesville and Newberry shops. They perform hand washes dried with soft chamois cloth to kick off exterior auto detail services, adding extra indulgences such as leather conditioners, clay-bar treatments, and protective Teflon sprays tougher than Ronald Reagan's handshake. Their paintless techniques free doors from dings, and their intensive buffing treatments free boats from rust patches posing as barnacles.

At Sal's Automotive, ASE-certified technicians diagnose and cure ailing vehicles of all makes, models, and origins with contemporary equipment and top-shelf parts. Services range from preventive oil changes to towing from roadside spots or the bottom of a YMCA pool. Each repair is backed by the Napa AutoCare Peace of Mind Warranty, which covers auto services for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

The shop's technicians swiftly tackle even the most complicated issues, sometimes completely reworking what's under the hood using Jasper engines and transmissions. Bonus services include after-hours drop off and pre-trip inspections.
