Start a chain of auto healing "spas" in which your ailing auto undergoes acupuncture and herbal cleansing by exchange of its bodily fluids. Herbal remedies might be applied in some cases to the various fluids. For the sake of convenience, the spa would serve the autos human companion with veggie snacks and chi.

       You would want to be careful around the tires.

       A commercial on the radio out here in the voice of a ditzy valley girl type goes:

"Automatic transmission fluid?"
"It’s like this totally penetrating essential oil or whatever, that you like, massage into your transmission to neutralize any like, negative shift."
  

       I am a part-time auto psychologist. For a reasonable fee I can get in touch with your car's inner go-kart, and suggest a program for the two of you that will lead to optimal mileage and enjoyment.

       And I thought this was going to be a do-it-yourself acupuncture kit.. (maybe switch category to car:[service]?)

       From the description, I'm not certain that I'd agree with the [mfd]-redundant, as the implementations are quite different.

       Hm! You're absolutely right. I should read things more closely before marking them. Thanks for the reality check!

       Someone, somewhere would fall for this.

       Was just writing this up and found it here. My modest addition was homoeopathic fuel additives on the principle of "like cures like". The ingredient would be dissolved and diluted in the usual way in pure alcohol. For example, to treat bodywork rust, pure iron oxide could be dissolved into the carrier alcohol, and then diluted until none was left, and the one drop added to the fuel tank every time you refilled. A strange rattling noise on cornering would be treated with a fragment from a dried bent pea pod, etc. etc.
