What kind of shots do you give sick cars?

The kind of "shots" a sick car gets depends entirely on what's wrong with it. There's no single answer. "Sick" in this context means the car is malfunctioning or has a problem. The "shots" are various types of maintenance or repair. These could include:

* Fuel injector cleaning: If the car is running poorly, a fuel injector cleaning might be needed. This isn't literally a shot, but a cleaning process.

* Oil change: Regular oil changes are crucial for a car's health. Again, not a shot in the literal sense.

* Fluid top-offs: Checking and topping off fluids like coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid.

* Diagnostic testing: This involves using a scan tool to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the car's computer, which helps pinpoint the problem.

* Repair or replacement of parts: This could include anything from replacing a faulty sensor to a major engine repair.

So, there are no "shots" in the medical sense for cars. Instead, the car receives various forms of maintenance and repair based on the specific ailment.
