Start the Summer Safe as can be!
Give your Car a REPORT CARD before School's out! Statistics from the National Car Care inspections showed the real need for "wellness checks" for cars when 87% of cars failed at least one part of the inspection. All Tune and Lube at 66th and University is going to give our Lubbock Fun Club members a FREE 30-point check to make sure we are safe for summer! Click here for more >>
