Proper car maintenance will help a vehicle live longer, just as proper muscle maintenance will help you save a car from drowning. Be a hero with today's Groupon to Havoline Xpress Lube in Murfreesboro. Choose between the following options:
- For $29, you get a conventional oil change (a $35.95 value) and tire rotation (a $24.95 value; a $60.90 total value).
- For $35, you get a high-mileage oil change (a $49.95 value) and tire rotation (a $24.95 value; a $74.90 total value).
The mechanics at Havoline Xpress Lube extend engine lives through quick oil-change and tire-rotation services that take 15–20 minutes. After techs replace debris-clogged oil reserves with up to 5 quarts of fresh Havoline oil with Deposit Shield, they swap out old oil filters for new ones and glove-compartment contents with vintage Hot Wheels. Car owners may opt to have buggies brimmed with conventional or high-mileage lubricant mixed with specific additives that keep high-burning engines running smoothly.
Technicians rotate tires to keep treads wearing evenly and prevent bumpy rides due to toupees that disguise balding wheels. Before finalizing treatments, all fluids receive top-offs, and important car components undergo careful scrutiny from mechanics before heading back on the road.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Advertising Soup
In this economy, soup isn’t going to sell itself. Only the perfect commercial is going to get those cans flying off the shelves. But what are the elements of a good soup ad?
The setting can make someone immediately yearn for a bowl of the hot stuff. Good settings include:
• A wealthy person’s farmhouse glowing warmly in a snowy wooded area (farmhouse should show no signs of actual farming)
• A small but cozy shack standing on a craggy cliff over a violent sea
• A bread factory
The main character is the viewer’s connection to the soup. It should be:
• A loving yet endearingly inept dad. He is in decent shape, not too handsome, and wearing a sweater and/or tucked-in collared shirt.
• A Victorian sailor’s wife. She is pale and beautiful, yet jagged. It has been a hard life.
• A bunch of working-class bread-factory guys who are hungry but tired of all this dry bread.
The story of the ad then whips the potential customers into a soup-eating frenzy by depicting:
• The dad’s son playing in the snow. The dad wants his son to love him but he cannot prepare a meal on his own. He makes the son soup, and the two bond over a game of checkers in front of a fireplace. Mom does not interfere.
• The wife gazes longingly at the sea during a windy, daytime rainstorm. She misses her husband’s warm, hearty arms but finds solace in a thick chowder that possesses those same qualities. Just as she finishes her bowl the husband kicks down the door. He has returned from his voyage and he has brought her many exotic hats.
• The bread-factory guys make some soup and have a crazy party wherein they dip the dry crusty breads into the steaming bowls with much joviality and merrymaking. What a day they’ve had.
