Oil Changes

Changing your engine oil following the manufacturer’s recommended schedule is an essential part of basic auto maintenance and one that will help to provide a good return on your investment. Through prolonged use, oil breaks down and looses its ability to lubricate. It endures tremendous friction, high heat and contaminants that, if not addressed, will most likely lead to engine problems down the road. Resupplying your car with fresh, cool, clean, freely flowing oil is very important to the performance and life of your engine. We recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles unless otherwise stated by your manufacturer.

This comprehensive oil change includes the oil/filter change as well as several preventive maintenance services including:

• Installation of appropriate oil (see below)
• New oil filter
• General chassis lube
• Exterior windows cleaning
• Check inflation of tires
• Under-the-hood visual inspection
• Topping off fluids:
  • Windshield washer
  • Transmission
  • Power steering fluid
• Complementary check of:
  • Lights
  • Brake fluid level
  • Air filter
  • Belts
  • Wiper blades
  • Antifreeze
  • Tires
  • Shocks/struts
