Oil Change services
We offer some of the most comprehensive oil services in the area. Ensuring that only the correct weight and quantity of engine oil is used as a part of our service process, every time you come in for an oil service we are going to perform a complimentary multi-point inspection, setting of your tire pressures, and resetting the service lights.
Why Regular Oil Changes Matter
Oil lubricates the engine's moving parts, reduces friction, and helps to keep everything cool. Over time, oil can break down, become dirty and lose its effectiveness, leading to potential engine damage. Regular oil changes not only extend the life of your engine but also enhance your vehicle’s performance.
Our Oil Change Process
- 1. Inspection: Our skilled technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle, checking oil levels and quality.
- 2. Oil Replacement: We use high-quality oil and filters suited for your specific make and model to ensure optimal performance.
- 3. Additional Checks: During your oil change, we’ll also check fluid levels, belts, and hoses to ensure everything is in good condition.
- 4. Expert Advice: After the service, we’ll provide recommendations on future maintenance and answer any questions you may have.
When to Get an Oil Change
Most vehicles require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual. If you notice any warning lights, unusual engine noises, or changes in performance, it’s a good idea to have your oil checked sooner.

Engine tune up
Back in the day, a tune up was a pretty straight forward process: plugs, wires, cap and rotor, PCV valve, and maybe an air filter here and there. As modern engines have gotten more complex, a tune up means a little less than what it once was with PCV valves being expensive or integrated into other larger components or the lack of ignition wires all together in favor of coil on plug ignition coils. Regardless we will keep your vehicle running reliably with a tune up, old or new, wires or not.
