Prioritize Your Vehicle
MTA members who still haven’t gotten their cars serviced this winter shouldn’t put it on hold any longer. Browse through the MTA Benefits Discount Directory, where you’ll find some of the best maintenance shops in Massachusetts offering a reduced rate to members.
It’s good practice to begin with a multi-point inspection, to get a solid idea of what’s needed and how much it’ll cost. AAMCO Transmissions is a well-known provider of quality car care, and they’ll make this process as smooth as possible. They’ll provide you with a free, 36-step multi-point inspection and if it turns out that the vehicle needs work done, the business will provide 10 percent off the cost with an MTA membership card. Head over to their Wilmington and Roslindale locations to take advantage of this exclusive deal.
In addition to full-service maintenance options, several specialty auto centers offer MTA member discounts.
If your auto insurance policy doesn’t cover glass replacement, visit Affordable Auto Glass to ensure that you have a reliable auto glass provider in your corner. Members receive free wiper blades with the purchase of a new windshield at their West Springfield location. Need VIN etching done? That’s free too! Other glass-related services are also available at an additional cost.
Don’t avoid getting an oil change due to unbearable wait times. Innovative companies, including Valvoline Instant Oil Change, created drive-through facilities specifically for busy people who can stay right in their cars while the oil change is completed. Visit one of their many statewide locations and enjoy 15 percent off their convenient services.
Cape Cod Auto Spa in Pocasset is the ideal destination for anyone with auto detailing on their radar. This reputable shop uses the highest quality eco-friendly products to deep clean and rejuvenate vehicles from the inside out. Speak with one of their certified technicians about the vehicle’s specific needs and get $50 off a detailing package.
