Pistons and shafts overheat and seize up unless protected by a slick, shiny coating of oil, just like classical Greco-Roman wrestlers. Keep your engine parts from throttling each other with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a standard oil change (a $40.95 value), or for $53, you get a pothole special (a $106.80 value) at G&C Tire and Auto Services in Chantilly and Manassas.

Car jockeys can ease pothole punishment and quench oil-thirsting engines by entrusting their rides to the ASE-certified technicians at G&C Tire and Auto Services. Upkeep hard-working auto innards with a standard oil change, during which techs restore motor mojo by draining old oil, replacing it with fresh piston polish, and swapping dingy oil sieves for sparkling new filters ($40.95). In addition to an oil and filter change, the pothole special includes an alignment check of pit plunging wheels ($9.95), soothing vehicular sore spots more effectively than with bandaids and chassis kisses. Finally, bucking steering wheels are tamed with a tire balance ($19.95) and rotation ($19.95), as well as a state inspection ($16), to ensure proper wear.
