Oil Changes

Germantown, MD Oil Changes

Sometimes thought of as the most basic of services, oil changes are something you need to think of every few thousand miles or so depending on how much your drive. It’s important to find a mechanic that you can trust to get it done right each time, and ensure that this simple service is getting the professional attention that it deserves.

When done correctly, changing your oil will help your car run at the top of its game and result in the need for less vehicle tune ups. It helps in keeping your filters clean, your lines unclogged, and your engine running at the correct temperature, all very important things for the health of your car and the longevity of its life.

A car that doesn’t have the oil changed regularly is going to run into a lot of problems such as gummed up lines, engines with damage, overheating, and clogged filters for starters. Everything about a vehicle runs better when it has quality oil and the oil remains in good condition with regular changes. If you considered your car’s engine to be its heart, the oil would be the blood that it pumps through its veins.

Because engines and vehicles in general get so hot, the oil begins to clump up over time. This lets it stick in places and cause problems when it isn’t dealt with properly. In addition, dust and other particles can get in causing the oil to be contaminated. Flushing out old oil and replacing it gets rid of all of these problems.

Oil plays a big part in keeping all of the engine components running. It lubricates, helps with seals, lessens shock, and keeps the noise that an engine makes down as well. However, the most important thing it does is helps the engine to remain cool. If the engine is too warm, the car will overheat and other systems can be damaged as well. This is one way to damage an engine resulting in the need for expensive repairs that could have been avoided. When it comes to our oil change services in Germantown we like to stick to and use the most trusted oil brands in the auto industry such as Mobil 1 and Havoline.

When we change your oil, we will make sure that we check for any possible damage that may be occurring. In this way we can keep you up to date on the health of your car. If we detect something while we are changing your oil, we will give you a chance to get it checked out as soon as possible.

During the change, we will check all of the lines, look under your car, and even check under the hood. With such a thorough job, you can be sure we will find problems before they may adversely affect your vehicle.

When we change your oil, we will also check all of your filters and your valves. This is just a routine part of our oil change services at our Germantown auto repair shop and ensures that new oil isn’t going to be held back by old parts. Depending on the schedule your manufacturer has recommended, you may need to change components more or less often on different model vehicles.
