Oil Changes
Conventional, synthetic blend and full synthetic oil changes, with the correct oil for your engine.
Engine oil lubricates, cools and cleans the moving parts inside your engine. Over time it breaks down and collects contaminants, so regular changes are one of the simplest ways to protect your engine.
We use the oil type and viscosity your manufacturer specifies and look over the rest of your vehicle while it’s here.
Signs you’re due for an oil change
If you notice any of these, have it checked. We’ll inspect first and explain your options before any work begins.
- Your oil change reminder or maintenance light is on
- You’ve reached the interval on your windshield sticker or in your owner’s manual
- The oil level is low on the dipstick
- The oil looks dark and gritty
- You notice more engine noise than usual
What’s included
- Drain and refill with the manufacturer-specified oil type and viscosity
- New oil filter
- Fluid level checks
- Tire pressure check
- Visual inspection of belts, hoses, lights and wipers
- Maintenance reminder reset where applicable
What will it cost?
Pricing depends on your vehicle and what we find. We’ll inspect, explain the options and give you an estimate before any work begins. No work is done without your approval.

How often should I change my oil?
Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation or your maintenance reminder system. Driving conditions such as short trips, towing or heavy stop-and-go traffic can affect the right interval.
What kind of oil does my car need?
Your owner’s manual lists the required oil specification and viscosity. We match it, whether that’s conventional, synthetic blend or full synthetic.
