This is the work that prevents the tow truck, and it is the one visit a year where somebody is guaranteed to be under your car with a light. We do not waste that. Every vehicle that goes up for an oil change gets a full multi-point inspection at no charge, with the numbers written down rather than described.
Conventional, blend or full synthetic, to the grade and capacity your engine actually calls for rather than whatever is in the bulk tank.
Coolant, brake, power steering and transmission fluid checked, plus engine and cabin air filters.
The parts that strand you when they let go, checked while the car is up and replaced before they do.
Pad thickness and tread depth measured, not guessed, along with the exhaust, suspension and anything leaking. You keep the numbers.
Usually about 30 minutes once the car is on the lift, including the free inspection. Walk in during shop hours and we will tell you straight away how busy the bays are.
Go by your owner’s manual rather than the old 3,000-mile rule, which is usually 5,000 to 10,000 miles on full synthetic. Then check the severe-service schedule: short trips, stop-and-go and hard winters all count, and most Detroit driving qualifies, which normally halves the interval.
Yes, on every vehicle that goes on the lift, and it stays free whether or not you have any of the work done. You get the measurements either way.
It depends on how much oil your engine holds and whether it calls for conventional, blend or full synthetic, which is why the same shop can honestly quote two different numbers for two cars in the same parking lot. Call with your year, make and model and we will give you the figure before you drive over.
Walk-ins welcome six days a week. The inspection is free whether or not you have the work done.
