Q: How often should I get an oil change?

It depends on your vehicle and the type of oil used. Most modern vehicles using full synthetic oil can go 5,000–7,500 miles between changes; some extend to 10,000 miles. Conventional oil typically requires changes every 3,000–5,000 miles. Check your owner's manual, or bring it in and we'll tell you what your vehicle actually needs.

Q: What's included in a routine maintenance visit?

A standard maintenance visit typically includes an oil and filter change, fluid top-offs (coolant, brake fluid, power steering, windshield washer), a tire pressure check, and a visual inspection of belts, hoses, brakes, and lights. We'll flag anything that needs attention so you can plan ahead.

Q: How do I know if my brakes need service?

Common signs include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, the vehicle pulling to one side when you brake, or the brake warning light illuminating on your dash. If you notice any of these, bring it in — worn brakes are a safety issue and catching them early saves money.

Q: Do you perform multi-point inspections?

Yes. We perform a thorough inspection with every service visit — checking brakes, tires, fluids, belts, hoses, filters, and lights. We give you an honest report of what we found so you know exactly what your vehicle needs now versus what can wait.
