Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my oil?
Most vehicles need an oil change about every 5,000 to 7,000 miles (some older models every ~3,000 miles) or every few months. It’s best to follow your owner’s manual which lists the recommended interval for your specific car. Many newer cars even have oil life monitors that remind you when service is due, so pay attention to those indicators.
How often should I rotate my tires?
It’s generally recommended to rotate your tires about every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (approximately every 6 months). Rotating your tires (swapping their positions) helps them wear evenly, which extends their lifespan. If you never rotated your tires, one or two tires may wear out much faster than the others, increasing the risk of a blowout and forcing earlier replacement.
When should I replace my car's battery?
Most car batteries last about 3 to 5 years under normal conditions. Factors like extreme cold or hot weather can shorten a battery’s life, so keep that in mind. It’s wise to proactively test your battery after about 3 years. Signs of a weak battery include the engine cranking slowly when you start the car or your headlights and interior lights looking dim at startup. If you notice those symptoms or if the battery is older than five years, consider replacing it before it fails.
What should I do if my check engine light comes on?
A check engine light (CEL) means your car’s computer has detected something out of the ordinary in the engine or emissions system. It could be something minor (like a loose gas cap) or something requiring attention (like a misfiring engine). The best course is not to panic but also don’t ignore it. Make sure your gas cap is tight since a loose cap can trigger the light. If the light remains on, have the vehicle’s diagnostics checked by a mechanic. They will use a scan tool to read the error code and pinpoint the issue. Driving a short time with a steady CEL is usually okay, but you should get it checked sooner rather than later to avoid potential bigger problems.
Do you offer financing or payment plans for repairs?
Yes, we work with Synchrony to offer payments options on all of our services. Check out our financing page to apply and look at options.
