Okay, here goes. It’s another automotive offer and for those of you who don’t know me, I’m not a man who is skilled in the automotive arts. But that’s okay, because this offer is for folks like me!

What do you do when the Check Engine light lights up on your dashboard? Some guys, I’m told, open the hood of the car, get grease on their hands and grunt meaningfully while they use tools to tweak the gizmos, adjust the whatsit, and bang on the thingamajig until it’s fixed. Not me.

I usually take it to a garage, wince slightly, and hand over my credit card. The mechanic I go to is a good-natured man who doesn’t hold my handicap against me, and he only chuckles a little bit as he takes my card and quietly makes plans for his children to go to a better college. He takes my car ‘out back’ and does something mysterious. I’ve always pictured black robes, pentagrams, and a sacrificed chicken but I’ve also lacked the nerve to peek ‘out back’ and see for myself. Whatever he does, it’s expensive and effective. Until the next time the Check Engine light flickers on.

Did you know the AAMCO folks will check that out for free? No kidding!

And I bet they don’t even have to sacrifice a chicken to do it! Wow, the times are changing, eh?
