Oil and filter change
By appointment, we change your oil and filter, check your vehicle, and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
Is it time?
Your manufacturer’s interval and your driving both matter. Pick the closest match.
“My reminder light is on, or I’m near the interval.”
Book a time for sometime soon. We use the oil and filter your manufacturer specifies.
“I’m past the interval, or can’t remember my last change.”
Bring it in this week. We check the oil and tell you if anything else needs a look.
“My oil light is on, or I see smoke or a leak.”
Stop driving when it is safe and call us. Low oil can damage an engine quickly.
Signs you need it
Six things people say when they call. Each links to a post that explains it.
Often your vehicle telling you the interval has arrived.
Possibly worn oil leaving moving parts under-protected.
Could be overdue; we check the oil and work out where you stand.
Often short trips and stop-and-go driving are harder on oil.
Sometimes dark oil is normal, but gritty oil may mean a change is overdue.
Could be low oil level or pressure, so treat it as urgent and call us.
What happens at your visit
Nothing gets repaired before you have looked at the findings and said yes.
Book a time and bring it in. Tell us your mileage and anything you have noticed since your last visit.
Oil level and condition first. Then your fluids, tires, belts, lights and filters.
In plain English, so you see what we see.
Here’s what needs attention now, what can wait, what each item costs. Your call.
Old oil out, new filter on, refill with the oil your manufacturer specifies, then a leak check.
Everything done, plus the mileage noted for your next change.
Who does each step
The same six steps above, with the name and face of whoever handles each one. You will work with these guys, not a call center.

Yes. Fluids, tires, belts, lights, all get a look. You get the list of what needs attention now and what can wait. Extra work never happens without your yes, and findings go on paper so you can think it over in your own time.
Your vehicle and the current mileage. A rough date for your last change helps if you remember it. Noticed anything since the last visit? A noise, a smell, a warning light? Worth telling us at drop-off. We take it from there.
Yes. The check comes first, then you see the findings with a cost next to each item. Nothing is repaired until you see the written estimate and sign off. Need a second set of eyes on it? Forward the estimate to a parent or partner before you give the go-ahead.
Straight talk about what we saw. What it is, why it matters, what happens if it waits. The list sorts into urgent and can-wait. You pick what gets approved. Nothing extra gets done without your yes.
