Not using as opportunities to pass out tracts.
They will sense when it is TOTALLY altruistic and respond.
But even if they don't, do it simply because it is the right thing to do.

GASP!!!! You don't think they should hand out tracts??? If one doesn't do that, how does one share the gospel???
Speaking, there was once a UPC tract that was titled, "Here's a tip" and inside were instructions concerning how to avoid hell. The idea was to leave this on the restaurant table instead of a monetary tip. I wonder how many souls that one saved?
And who sat at a desk drawing that up and thought it was a good idea?
You mentioned oil changes....we launched a thing years ago to paint over graffiti and do oil changes and were shut down by our liability carrier.
But yes, you are writing the heart of the creative evangelist, who is not insistent on scoring a touchdown on every play, demanding repentance and immediate change, but is willing to work in the messy fields of those that are broken.
