Do I need an appointment?

as quickly as possible. We will always try to accommodate your needs, but priority
is given to those with appointments.

How often should I change my oil?
Engine Oil should be changed every 5000-7500 miles on vehicles 1997 and older that use non-synthetic oil. For 1998 and newer vehicles that get Mobil 1 synthetic we recommend a 6 month inspection or 10,000 miles, which ever comes first. This service can usually be done in less than an hour.

How often should I service my vehicle?
Your car should be inspected for wear and safety items every 6 months.  Services include a thorough inspection of your vehicle which includes preventive maintenance that reduces the probability of breaking down on the road.  Vehicles manufactured in 1998 and up have an internal reminder system called FSS (flexible service system) based on your driving habits.  Keep in mind that Los Angeles generally has a lot of stop and go traffic which is considered a severe driving condition and therefore your vehicle should come in for inspection regularly.

Why Preventive Maintenance?
Manufacturers know that a properly maintained car will be more dependable, safer, last longer, and increase your satisfaction with their product. Car makers and owners also have a responsibility to make sure emission controls receive regular service and are functioning properly. Regular maintenance helps accomplish these goals by keeping your engine running efficiently and eliminating potential problems that may leave you stranded.

What's in it for you?

A car that retains the "new car feel"
Less chance of a costly breakdown

How are service intervals determined?
The manufacturer creates detailed maintenance schedules outlining specific operations to be performed on various components and systems. This is done at different mileage intervals to ensure proper operation and prevent premature wear. The manufacturer also indicates what services must be done to maintain the factory warranty and extended warranty.
