Cars need to be inspected from time to time to determine if they are safe, dependable, and populated by the industry standard number of squirrels. Seek automotive assessment with today's Groupon to Techne Mechanical on Pearl Avenue. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and brake check (a $45.95 value).
• For $7.95, you get a Class-A state inspection (a $16 value).

Guided through the mechanical morass by two ASE-certified master technicians, Techne Mechanical services domestic and foreign vehicles from compact to colossal. While the vehicle's vital fluids are being transfused, the technicians play a game of musical tires, rotating them around the car until the music stops and the odd tire out gets relegated to the trunk. The car's brakes are also inspected to ensure they can continue in their deceleration duties. Alternately, Techne Mechanical offers a Class-A state inspection to certify the car is road-worthy, environmentally sensitive, and not actually a set of trash-can lids bolted onto a refrigerator.
