Like violins, cars announce their need for a tune-up by squeaking shrilly and leaking oil every time you play Mahler. Keep your ride purring pleasantly with today's Groupon to Mickey's Automotive in Sleepy Hollow. Choose between the following options:

• For $19, you get a basic oil change (a $53.70 value).
For $49, you get a winterization checkup plus an oil change for a later date (a $170.72 value).

The ASE-certified technicians at Mickey's Automotive, a NAPA AutoCare Center, help cars survive all four seasons with expertly rendered services at a shop that's been run by the same family for more than 40 years. During an oil change, deft mechanics lure the old lube out of the car, replace it with up to five quarts of clean crude, slap on a filter, and take a 30-point tour of the car, checking for potential hazards and adjusting imbalanced rearview-mirror dice.

Mickey's staff preps cars for the upcoming chilly months with a winterization checkup, inspecting drive belts, hoses, exhaust systems, and tire pressure to confirm their health. The mechanics also top off any fluids that aren't up to proper levels, check the steering and suspension, clean out rear brakes, and service the battery. After a front-brake inspection, technicians lubricate door locks and hinges, and send cars on their way with reliable brakes, supple tires, bellies full of oil, and a gold star for the windshield. The winterization package also entitles cars to a free oil change at a later date.

Though Mickey's Automotive sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
