If Dorothy had never changed the Tin Man's oil, the Wizard probably would have just thrown away his spare heart. Show your car you have a heart with today's Groupon: for $39, you get an oil change, tire rotation, and charging-systems analysis at Great Bear Auto Repair and Auto Body Shop in Flushing. In business since 1933, Great Bear stands tall and furrily poised to provide dependable automotive service. Tire rotations help prevent the premature balding of tires and oil changes and filter replacements keep engines happily lubed and friction free. A charging-systems analysis will ensure that vehicles kick into gear when the ignition is turned, and not after it has been repeatedly whacked and cursed in seven languages. Ideally, engines should purr like the softest kittens; if it coughs like a feral cat with a hair ball, a Great Bear mechanic will run a series of diagnostics—including battery and alternator inspection—to ensure that the vehicle in question will be able to start and hold a charge to keep the car running.
