One Sour Note will rob you of power, economy, and smoothness. You don't want that.

"One Sour Note" --in your engine--, I guess it is. That's the impression we're given. What would such a note be? A klank, a whhirrrr, a glibble globblle? Well, whatever the "note," you can say "Goodbye Power, Economy, [and] Smoothness!"

So.., oh no.. what do we do about it? Well...

"Tuning up an engine means getting countless parts running together smoothly; timed so each part does its job efficiently. It will save you money! When your car was in recently we found that it needed a tune-up. Leaving it out-of-tune simply means more wear to the parts that are affected. By taking care of this now we can prevent needless trouble and expense."

So yeah, don't klank. Don't be a glibble globblle. Take your car into Kramer-Eberts today. And don't forget to ask for Pennzoil motor oil and lubricants. We sponsored this card. It's the least you can do.

Check out the other cards in this series, "Did Ja Know we feel like a million dollars every time to bring your car to us."
And "Congratulations on Your New Car"
And there's "You're Car Warranty Check-up Is Due!"
Episode 4 deals with brakes. It's time for brake inspection.
Episode 5 says "It's tune-up time."
And in Episode 6 we hear that "Hot Tempers won't start cold engines!" And that's the truth.
Next comes "We Thank You," a gracious message from a time gone by.
And the card we looked at today, in Episode 8, where we heard again the case for why your car needs a tune-up.
And the last in our series, Episode 9, deals with bodywork and touchups.

All brought to you by the Pennzoil people, who made these cards and supplied them to dealers and auto service centers as a kind of "public service" and to help drum up business for the shops.
