The moral of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is that even cars capable of flying sound terrible without a professional mechanic’s attention or a singing Dick Van Dyke in the passenger seat. Soar sans engine chittering with the help of today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a checkup package for your ride at Rob's Goodyear Tire and Automotive (a $158 value).

Since 1984, Rob and his team of experienced ASE-certified technicians have traded quality services and products for the trust of customers and the respect of unruly rides. The checkup package combines some of the most important services to keep sedans, vans, or SUVs operating at peak efficiency for many seasons to come. Tire rotation ensures uniform wear on a whip’s wheels, especially the hamster wheel, which makes the engine run. Meanwhile, a belt and hose inspection finds any cracks, kinks, and otherwise improper behavior that might lead to a sudden need for a roadside time-out. After a fluid check, vehicular veins can be given a transfusion of missing amounts for an additional fee, restoring the lubrication necessary for moving parts. A suspension check makes sure springs and shocks are working hard to avoid bothersome bumps made of hardened chewed gum in the road.

While you wait, relax with Rob’s cozy accommodations. The garage serves up complimentary coffee to keep customers' caffeine tanks full and offers free WiFi to information-hungry laptops.
