Why is Regular Maintenance Important?

Regular maintenance is key to your vehicle’s longevity and performance. Oil changes are a critical part of this routine. Without regular oil changes, your engine can suffer severe damage. We recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to keep your vehicle running efficiently. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations. Ignoring regular maintenance can lead to costly repairs down the road, so don’t delay scheduling your service appointment.

How Do I Know if My Oil Needs Changing?

Knowing when to change your oil is crucial for maintaining engine health. If your oil change light is on, it’s time for a service. Other signs include unusual engine noises, like knocking, or dark, dirty oil. You can also check your oil level using the dipstick under the hood. If the oil is below the recommended level, it’s time for a change. While you can perform oil changes yourself, our skilled technicians are always ready to help and ensure the job is done right.
