Like puppies, cars are vulnerable to winter temperatures, noisy when cold, and feral when wrapped in Santa suits. Prepare your auto for arctic weather with today's Groupon: for $49, you get one car winterization at either Ms. Tuffy Auto Care Center or Tuffy Auto Care Center, operating in seven convenient Richmond-area locations (a $129 value).

All of Tuffy's automotive service centers are dedicated to quality work and outstanding customer service. The ASE-certified mechanics winterize each car passing through their castle gates with an oil and filter change, tire rotation, battery service, and coolant-system service. They also present easy-to-understand explanations of vehicular needs and varying contentions on the origination of agrarian society. Michelle Neilson, owner of the Ms. Tuffy division of Tuffy Auto Care, prides herself in providing quality, unintimidating mechanical maintenance and auto repair catered toward women. From the partially pink exterior to a lounge that looks less like a garage and more like a southern belle's drawing room, the whole operation is geared toward humans with more than one X chromosome.
