Automotive in Sweetwater

The automotive specialists at Star Family of Dealerships provide routine maintenance, repairs, and replacement parts to turn all jalopy makes and models into reliable rides. Elect an oil and filter change to keep pistons pumping smoothly ($41.64), or a tire rotation to ensure even wear throughout a game of musical wheels ($19.95). A fuel-induction service expunges performance-affecting buildup ($103.06), and a cooling system drain and refill keeps cars nicely chilled ($94.02). Mechanical wizards can transmogrify transmissions into well-oiled machines with a minor tune-up ($246.77), and each and any service comes with a complimentary 16-point inspection. The value of this Groupon can also be used towards all manner of replacement gizmos and gadgets known in technical terms as "thingamabobs."

The ASE-certified techs at Midas rejuvenate road-weary wagons with oil changes, tire rotations, safety checks, and other auto services. Since aging oil can saddle engines with contaminants, dust, metal particles. and chickenpox, the moto medics at Midas dispatch dingy oil and infuse vehicle veins with up to five quarts of oil matched to your buggy's recommended viscosity level. Techs will also swap out dated filters with fresh oil sieves. After polishing pistons, mechanics rotate tires to help reduce wear over time and move gossiping rear wheels to the front of the class.
