Recommended Automotive by Groupon Customers
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.
VIP Park & Ride, Inc's sprawling lot space welcomes up to 500 vehicles at a time for short staycations as owners head to Jacksonville International Airport or Jaxport cruise terminal by way of complimentary shuttle. In addition to keeping a close eye on visiting horseless carriages, VIP's seasoned team of mechanics can also fine-tune cars while their owners are gone, changing oil, rotating tires, and swapping out damaged wiper blades. Six different detailing services thoroughly primp and polish vehicles by swabbing their exteriors in hard wax and dabbing their interiors with vinyl dressing and air deodorizer. Automotive experts can also tint windows a shade darker to block out the sun or views of obscene full moons. Guests are welcome to call ahead or make drop-off reservations online.
From New York to LA, Park 'N Fly keeps cars safe inside their secured quarters just a quick shuttle ride away from the nearest airport.

Their lots are gated, well lit, and monitored.
