SEASONAL OIL CHANGE

Why?

Different motor oils affect your vehicle’s performance, so it’s important to choose the right one for your vehicle. 

When?

We recommend changing your oil at the beginning of each new driving season.

Draining and replenishing engine oil; installation of new warranty-approved oil filter; lubrication of chassis, suspension and steering system, if applicable.

Vehicle inspection report on:

  • Lights 
  • Filters – including cabin filter, if applicable
  • Coolant and hoses
  • Drive belts and tensioners
  • Battery, cables and terminals
  • Wiper blades

OIL FILTER COMPARISON

Basic: Meets or exceeds all manufacturers’ requirements. Affordable protection. 94% dirt-trapping efficiency.

High Mileage: With a gel additive to help protect seals and gaskets. 95% dirt-trapping efficiency.

Synthetic: Metal screen-reinforced, dual-layer synthetic media. At least 99% dirt-trapping efficiency. 

COOLANT FLUSH

Why?

Rust, scale, sludge and air reduce its effectiveness and can cause premature failure of components. A regular flush and fill maintains proper pH levels while to prevent this.

What's included?

Standard Flush and Fill

  • Coolant test for pH and freezing point.
  • Pressure test system for leaks, including radiator cap.
  • Flush of old engine coolant.
  • Fill of up to 8L of coolant.
  • Inspection of fan belt and other system components.
  • Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Premium Prestone® Flush and Fill

  • Evaluation of entire cooling system and written C.A.R.E. report.
  • Coolant test for pH and freezing point.
  • Chemical treatment and pressure flush of your system.
  • Installation of up to 8L of Prestone coolant (upgrade to Long Life coolant available for an additional charge).
  • Coolant system conditioner.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

A faulty thermostat can result in low heat or overheating, poor fuel economy, a knocking or pinging sound when accelerating, and low temperature readings.

POWER STEERING FLUSH

Why?

Power steering fluid not only helps transfer pressure from the steering wheel to the tires, it also lubricates the steering system.

When?

We recommend having this inspected with every oil change.

What's included?

  • Quality control system performance test.
  • Visual inspection of the power steering system and its components.
  • Flushing the old fluid and refilling the system with new, manufacturer-approved fluid.

DID YOU KNOW?

Using the wrong fluid can destroy rubber seals and hoses, and cause system failure.

BRAKE FLUID FLUSH

Why?

Brake fluid is contaminated over time due to extreme pressure, heat and exposure to moisture. Dirty brake fluid can also damage the hydraulic components of your braking system.

What's included?

  • Road test to assess system performance.
  • Complete system flush of old brake fluid and any contaminants.
  • Up to 1L of brake fluid.
  • Complete inspection of your brake system with a written evaluation.
  • Comprehensive evaluation of your braking system.
  • Detailed written estimate for items requiring adjustment, repair or replacement.

DID YOU KNOW?

Brake fluid is a key component of your brake system. It keeps the internal components lubricated and protected from corrosion.

TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH

Why?

Failure to change transmission fluid and filters may allow these particles to clog the small passageways and valves in your transmission, impeding performance and causing irreversible damage.

What's included?

  • Draining automatic transmission fluid and removal of varnish and metal contaminants.
  • Installation of transmission fluid (synthetic or synthetic-blend upgrade available at an additional charge).
  • Replacement of filter and pan gasket, where applicable.

DID YOU KNOW?

Transmission fluid lubricates vital internal components and transfers heat from the transmission to help regulate temperature.

ENGINE OIL FLUSH

Why?

Engine oil turns into sludge deposits, which decreases the performance of the engine; performing an engine flush helps maintain and extend the life of your engine. 

What's included?

Draining a portion of the vehicle's engine oil and replacing it with an engine flush additive.

 

DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE

Why?

Just like engine oil, differential fluid breaks downs during operating temperature and eventually becomes contaminated. 

What's included?

  • Draining the vehicle's differential fluid and removing varnish and metal contaminants.
  • Installation of differential fluid (synthetic or synthetic-blend upgrade available at an additional charge).
  • Replacement of gasket, where applicable.
