Change Engine Oil and Filter

Fresh oil keeps the engine protected, lubricated, and running efficiently. Over time, oil breaks down and can’t do its job as well, which is why regular oil and filter changes are vital and one of the most important maintenance steps for any vehicle.

Check Tire Inflation and Wear

Tires don’t wear evenly on their own. Rotating them helps extend their lifespan and improves traction. During this service, technicians also check tire inflation and tread wear to ensure everything is safe and balanced.

Replace Passenger Compartment Air Filter

A clean cabin air filter keeps dust, pollen, and debris out of the interior airflow. Replacing it regularly helps maintain air quality and keeps your HVAC system from sweating and working harder than it needs to.

Coolant Flush

Wiper Blade Replacement

Clear visibility is non-negotiable. When wiper blades start streaking or skipping, it’s time for a replacement. New blades help ensure drivers can see clearly through rain, snow, and everything in between.

Engine Tune-Up

Tire Balance and Rotate

Balancing tires helps reduce vibration, improve handling, and prevent uneven wear. Paired with a rotation, this service keeps the ride smooth and extends tire life.

Four Wheel Alignment

Alignment affects everything from tire wear to steering response. When wheels are correctly aligned, the vehicle tracks straight, handles better, and avoids unnecessary strain on suspension components.

Oil Change

Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection

This is a complete vehicle checkup. Technicians review key systems, components, and fluids to catch issues before they become expensive problems.

Drain, Flush, and Fill Cooling System

The cooling system keeps the engine from overheating. Flushing out old coolant and replacing it with fresh fluid helps protect the engine and maintain proper temperature regulation.

State Inspection

Add Diesel Exhaust Fluid

For diesel vehicles, DEF is essential for emissions control. Keeping it topped off ensures the system works properly and helps the car stay compliant with environmental standards.
