The car was invented to get commuters directly from point A to point B, which made life easier but destroyed the once-thriving tourism industry of Point C. Visit all points on the map with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an oil change (a $66.60 value) plus a brake and suspension inspection (a $39.95 value) at Apex Specialized Automotive (a $106.55 total value).

At Apex, an ASE Blue Seal of Excellence–certified shop, trained auto technicians service vehicles and give them a complimentary detailing during a 90-minute service. Car care experts drain vehicles of their sullied petroleum, replenish motors with up to five litres of fresh oil, and then outfit engines with new oil filters. Auto technicians examine under hoods and inspect each car's brakes, suspension, and true identity. After the service, motor makeover artists perform a QC check, wash the car's exterior, and then vacuum the carpets. Finally, tires are shined, interiors are wiped, and a final quality check ensures rides run as smoothly as an olive-oiled Barry White before skedaddling back to their owners. While cars are being serviced, customers can relax in Apex's waiting room, where a flat-screen, satellite TV display sports and a coffee machine perks up patrons by dispensing caffeinated beverages and shrink-zapped aerobics instructors. Repairs include a three-year or 60,000-kilometre warranty. Synthetic oil is available for an additional charge.
