Proper car maintenance will help a vehicle live longer, just as proper muscle maintenance will help you save a car from drowning. Be a hero with today's Groupon: for $39, you get an oil change, tire rotation, wiper blade replacement, 59-point inspection, and car-wash coupon at Sun Automotive (a $117 value). This Groupon is valid at both Eugene locations and at the location in Springfield.

A family-operated business for more than 35 years, Sun Automotive populates its AAA-approved shops with ASE-certified master technicians who keep cars in proper driving order. During an oil change, vehicles eagerly slurp up a five-quart smoothie of fresh, conventional oil and try on a brand-new filter for size. The technicians also lube up the chassis and top off transmission fluid, radiator coolant, and windshield wiper-fluid before replacing windshield wipers and rotating the tires, which encourages even wear and tear and ensures that tires can live a long, fulfilling life until they retire in a junkyard. In addition, Sun Automotive's staff will examine cars during a 59-point inspection, diagnosing any potential problems and interpreting autos' most troubling dreams. Drivers also receive a free car-wash coupon, which they may redeem at Coburg Road Car Wash or Elite Car Bath.

Besides befriending cars, Sun Automotive has also become pals with the environment—both of its Eugene shops are eco-friendly, and one flaunts a set of solar panels that help reduce energy use and the production of greenhouse gases.
