Our finance team can help you decide which option is right for you. Call us today to learn more!

Q: How often should I get my oil changed?
A: It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Moreover, if your car’s engine requires full-synthetic motor oil, it might go as far as 15,000 miles between services! However, to get the most accurate information for your specific vehicle, you should always consult your owner’s manual or contact your local manufacturer service center.
Q: How do I tell what size tires my car needs?
A: Find the information in your vehicle owner’s manual in the glove compartment or on the tire information sticker on your driver’s side door. Usually those elements contain all the information related to your tire size and specifications as well as the appropriate tire pressure.
Q: How long does an oil change take?
A: Typically, you can expect an oil change to take between 30 to 45 minutes. Give us a call to schedule your oil change today!
Q: How do I get my brakes to stop squeaking?
A: Squeaky brakes can be caused by a few different things including sticking caliper slides, worn out pad clips, or lack of lubrication at pad or caliper contact points. Schedule your service appointment with us today and we’ll take a look!
Q: How long can I keep driving with my check engine light on?
A: Continuing to drive with your check engine light on is both dangerous and likely to make the eventual repairs needed more expensive. The best option is to bring it in for service as soon as you see a problem. Call to schedule an appointment with our team today!
Q: How can I tell if my transmission is going bad?
A: A functioning transmission will slide right into the proper gear. If your car is hesitating or giving you no response, something’s wrong, and it’s often the transmission. In a manual vehicle, this delayed shifting is accompanied by an RPM surge and engine noise that doesn’t match your speed.
Q: What does it mean if my car is leaking brake fluid?
A: If you suspect you have a brake fluid leak or see any other fluid leaking from your vehicle, have your car inspected immediately by your mechanic.

Q: What does it mean if my car is leaking brake fluid?
A: There are a range of causes of brake fluid leaks, including damage to brake components and general wear, rusting and pitting. If your dashboard brake fluid indicator is lit and your reservoir is low despite you topping up your fluid, there’s a high chance your brake hydraulic system – usually closed – is compromised. Give our service team a call as soon as possible to ensure you’ll be safe on the road.
Q: How much should I budget for car maintenance?
A: Experts recommend setting aside at least $100 per month for car maintenance and adjusting to reflect the actual condition of your car. If you want to save money on your next service, give our team a call today!
Q: What does it mean if my car clicks when I try to start it?

Q: What if my car is leaking coolant?
A: In the case of a small leak at a radiator hose, it might be possible to tighten the clamp and stop the leak. In most antifreeze leak conditions, however, you will need to bring your car in for repairs. If you need help, give us a call today!
Q: How often should I have my brakes inspected?
A: We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year. However, if you notice any unusual noises or vibrations when applying your brakes, or if your vehicle takes longer to stop than usual, you should have them inspected immediately.
Q: Do you offer any warranty on your services?
A: Yes, we offer a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on all services performed at our service center. Contact our service department for more information on our warranty policy.
