Cars are vain and sensitive; they care about how they look and want their owners to feel proud driving them, even if it's through an inconveniently placed fruit stand. Boost your speedster's self-esteem with today's Groupon: for $30, you get an oil change, tire rotation, new wiper blades, and a 48-point safety check at Car-X Auto Service (an $84 value). This Groupon can be redeemed at four Car-X locations in San Antonio: 8780 Huebner Road, 11823 West Avenue, 23711 IH-10W/Leon Springs, and 13250 Nacodoches #105.
Car-X Auto Service stirs wagons out of hibernation with an array of alleviating automotive services. Pour your car a refreshing 6-quart multi-grade glass of oil change (includes filter), freshen your ride's circle-shoes with a tire rotation, and switch blades with windshield-wiper replacements (for two wiper blades up to 24 inches). A 48-point safety check ensures your car is healthy enough to cruise the open road without requiring training wheels or being pulled by a retired racehorse.
With more than 175 locations nationwide and more than 35 years in the business, Car-X Auto Service has afforded itself a spot on the top level of the parking garage of quality car care and customer service. Unlike other auto-service shops, Car-X won't make your car feel uncomfortable by asking it to cough while a mechanic cradles its undercarriage.
Larger vehicles and diesel vehicles may cost extra to service.

The Groupon Guide to: Potlucks
The earliest potlucks were communal stews for which each villager would be assigned a random ingredient—common staples, such as parsnips, ground sheep, or jewelry. The "luck-of-the-pot" then went to whomever received the ladleful containing the most hearty marrowbone or heirloom turquoise brooch. Use the following juicy tips to ensure that you won't need luck to make your next communal dinner a rousing success:
Before you can begin cooking, you must have a space friendly to entertaining. If your home can be accurately described by phrases starting with "smells exactly like," or "constantly swarming with," you may need to rent a different, nicer apartment—ideally one featured in multiple local carpet commercials. If budget is an issue, hold your potluck in a public fountain.
Try orchestrating the meal around a theme. If you're having a football party, encourage guests to bring themed food, such as steamed pigskins or deep-fried Gatorade. If you're having an Oscar party, crumble up some old DVDs to make Grandma's futuristic-looking Tinsel Town Nachos.
If guests are unsure of what to bring, try making enough food for everyone and telling them not to worry about contributing—you know, like a good host might do.
