Be honest; don't you hate getting your car regularly maintained? I mean,Oil Change Coupons - A Slick Way to Save Money Articles it seems those, every three months or every three thousand miles, whichever comes first, grow closer and closer together all the time. You no sooner get it changed, then it's here again. Well, there's no way around that. Having your oil changed regularly is vital.

Let me tell you a brief story about my experience with my first car. It began to act strangely so my dad took it into the repair shop for a check up. I had blown out several pistons, and I didn't even know what pistons were! So dad sweetly said to me, as any smart father would say to his inexperienced offspring, "When was the last time you changed the oil?" "Oil?" I sheepishly replied. "What's that?"

True story.

I had no idea what the importance of oil was in a car. Now I know it's the "life blood" of the car's engine. If I don't have it changed regularly, it dies. 'Nuff said. Can't afford that.

Fast forward many years, and I'm a blue-collar worker. I need all the help I can get financially. Voila! Enter - oil change coupons.

What an invention!

But how does a savvy driver and car owner find the best source for oil change coupons? Here's a few ideas:

1. Check out the company's website. This is a super place to find these helpful little bits of paper. Most of the time, they are located right on the front or "home" page. Just print out a copy, drive your little car to your favorite gas station or repair shop and save some money.

2. How about joining their mailing list? In addition to oil change coupons you can print from their website, lots of times they send you ones via snail mail or E-mail, but you need to sign up for them. Even in this day and age of identity theft and public knowledge about you on the Web, they won't know you exist until you tell them. Be prepared to enter some personal info on their website if you choose to have them contact you this way.

3. Try checking out coupon sites online. Nowadays, the Web is overflowing with these sites. All it takes is your time to sit down in front of your computer and click away to find the best deals. Go for it!

4. Ask your gas station attendant or service repairman. Many times these people receive promotional coupons to hand out to their regular customer, but they get busy and forget to do it. My motto has always been, "If you don't ask, you won't know."

In my mind, the best way to eliminate the high cost of those necessary, repetitive maintainances is to meet them head on with oil change coupons firmly tucked into your wallet or back pocket. They'll knock the socks off your budget.
