....Not sure if you're joking..but if not...back in the day people had work done at local gas stations,(service stations), that made most of their money by doin everything from tires and batteries...to head gaskets and transmissions...before the days of "Speedy-Muffler".."Jiffy-Lube"...etc....they would come out and pick up a car with the servi-car, tow it in, do the work, and deliver it back to the owner...sweeeet

What is a service station? I have heard of them but never seen one.

I was joking my first job at 12 was a service station my dad ran. They are a thing of the past. They would even check you tires and oil and wash the windshield FREE

....that's nothing new...Harley Servi-Car trikes were used back in the 30's to come out to your house and pick up your car, then tow it in for routine maintenance or other reasons...it was back in the day when service stations made house-calls....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_Servi-Car
I never saw a Servicar towing a 4 wheel car and I think they would have a hard time at it. The 45 wasn't too powerful, besides the tow bar was mounted to the front of the trike.

Wish we still had that today. I haven't had my windshield oiled in a very long time.
