Hi Cottage Grove neighbors — it’s Amelia Brown here with a round-up of recent deals around town that are still active or ongoing. Whether you’re looking to save on meals, auto care, or support our downtown shops, there’s something for you.
Auto & Maintenance Savings
Honest1 Auto Care (Cottage Grove) has several specials running:
- Free loaner car with any service over $250 — nice for those jobs where you need to get around. This offer is subject to availability and some restrictions. Expires mid-September. – Valid to use now if you’re planning a larger repair.
- $100 off any repair or service depending on cost thresholds (e.g., $10 off over $100, $50 off over $500, etc.). Not valid on tires or batteries. Bring the coupon in advance.
- $15 off any oil change service — a quick budget win.
- $19 A/C check (regularly $49), which includes vent temperature, hose inspections, compressor check and more. Good if the heat’s still lingering.

Downtown & Shopping Incentives
If you’re shopping downtown, you’ll want to take part in the ongoing promotion:

Tips to Make the Most of These Offers
- Always verify expiration dates before you go — some deals are time-sensitive.
- Ask ahead if an offer needs a coupon or mention in advance.
- Combine deals when possible (if permitted) — like dining promos + Stamp Card rewards downtown.
