Oil Changes and Tune-Ups

Oil changes and tune-ups are two of the most basic yet important keys to the long-term health of your vehicle, and while you can’t control for other unforeseen and unexpected damage to your car, you can control when and how often you do these!

The benefits of regular oil changes are many. They maintain your engine’s lubrication, remove sludge and other build-up, keep all engine components cool, increase your vehicle’s longevity, and improve your overall gas mileage. Engine parts get a hefty workout, and good quality oil plus a sufficient amount of it keeps them working together with less effort and with chance of debris and dirt particle interference. Keeping track of how many miles you’ve driven is important as is paying close attention to any engine noises or sounds which could indicate a problem.

Plus, while our technician is tending to your oil, he can check other things. Routine oil changes become great opportunities to uncover other issues that you might not otherwise catch without someone looking under your hood.

Also critical are tune-ups. Without them your vehicle emissions and fuel costs will be higher, and you may even lose power. Usually based on your vehicle’s manufacturer’s recommendations, you can also request a tune-up if you notice that your vehicle is stalling when at a stand-still, when you experience a noticeable loss of power, a decrease in gas mileage, or when your check engine light stays on after you start your car.
