Motor oil, while most frequently used today to reduce friction within an engine, was discovered after being used in the original formula for slip ‘n slides. Put motor oil to work with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get a multipoint inspection, a standard oil change (a $30 value), a tire rotation (a $20 value), and wipers (a $25 value; Volvos may incur additional fees) at Ray Price Honda Mazda Volvo in East Stroudsburg (a $75 total value).

With almost a century of car experience under its fan belt, Ray Price Honda Mazda Volvo caters to vehicle keepers with a bevy of knowledgeable mechanics and motor-maintaining services. For about an hour, a multipoint inspection prods and scrutinizes the steel steed to check automotive health and grade its haikus about rush hour. Tired oil sludge seeps from engine parts and is replaced with glowing Valvoline liquid lubrication, as the wheels play a rousing game of tire-rotating musical chairs. To battle rainy days and locust-swarm bug splatter, Ray Price Honda Mazda Volvo affixes brand-new wipers to windshields.
