The technicians at Sears Auto Center–Old Forge Motor Cars kick off both car packages with a standard-oil and filter change. They shuffle the position of all four tires to extend their lifespan, test the battery’s charge, and check the brakes’ reflexes to ensure they will never hit a chicken that fell asleep in the middle of the road after having forgotten why he was crossing it.

A steering-and-suspension evaluation assesses the car’s equilibrium, after which techs perform a visual exhaust evaluation. During the car-maintenance package, a pair of Valvoline wiper blades swaps places with their rugged predecessors to free the windshield from snow and rain.

Both packages conclude with a 30-point inspection, during which technicians scout potential performance and safety issues, and an exterior wash to renew the paint’s lustrous shine and scare fitness hamsters out of the wheel wells.
