The significance of The Oil Transform &
The significance of The Oil Transform & Especially Where It's Done Changing
the oil in your car or truck is one with the most important things you should be
doing to maintain your vehicle. Most manufacturers recommend changing your oil
every 3,000 miles, but a few have different intervals such as 5,000 miles and
I've even seen a couple European vehicles that recommend it every 7,000 miles.
Those vehicles usually use a very expensive synthetic oil. Check your vehicle
owner's manual to know for sure how often your oil should be changed. The
obvious reason for changing your oil is to protect your engine's internal parts
that require clean lubrication from heat and friction damage. Many people
overlook the second reason to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles or 3-4
months, and the second reason is to have a qualified technician look over your
vehicle's vital parts. Bringing your car in for regular oil changes gives your
mechanic a chance to test drive and generally inspect your car. If you take your
car to one of those quicklube places where they shove you in CK100
Auto Key Programmer, drop the oil, sell you as many un-needed "fast
services" as they can, fill your car back up with the wrong oil and shove you
out is a complete waste of money and your missing out on the 50% in the
importance of an oil alter. At my shop I perform a full preventative maintenance
inspection on every vehicle that comes in for an oil modify. I rotate the tires
if needed (at no extra cost) and check things like the safety of your brakes and
steering/suspension parts, battery terminals and battery condition, belts,
hoses, and antifreeze protection level just to name a few. Tow trucks tow
thousands of vehicles of every year for corroded battery terminals or bad
batteries, split hoses, and broken belts all things that could have been
prevented if a qualified technician would have warned the vehicle's owner.
People also spend thousands of dollars on brake rotors and drums every year that
would not have been needed if the owner was informed that they needed brake
before they started grinding. The quick lube places simply rush through their
oil changes too fast and are too inexperienced to properly look your vehicle
over and warn you of real problems that may arise. They check the air filter and
vehicle fluids because that is all they know how to repair, and changing those
items quickly for you is extremely profitable for them. They do a good job of
showing you the "dirty/bad" fluid that is in our car and the harm it is doing
and so on. They have a nice little check list of things that are profitable for
the quick lube shop to replace, but not necessarliy what should be checked
during a preventative maintenance check. Think about what you gain by going to
the quick lube shop for your oil transform... You save about 20 minutes or so
right? At my shop a good oil change with a full preventative maintenance
inspection takes about 30-45 minutes. A quick lube takes about 15 minutes to get
your oil changed + what ever they "upsell" you while your there. My normal oil
alter price is $29.95 which is about the same as the quick lube places but the
value is incredibly different. So, you might save 15 or 20 minutes by going to a
quick lube shop for your oil modify, but that could cost you several hours + a
tow bill and costly repair that could have easily been prevented. There is a
huge difference between a "good price" and a "great value" and not all
"mechanics" or so called "mechanics" are created equal. Remember that Launch X431 GDS
tool. My goal at my shop is for my customers to never have to tow their
vehicles in: for one, I do everything I can to keep them happy and an unexpected
break down has never made anyone happy and for two, I don't like having to push
cars to get them into my shop
So my advice to you is to find a mechanic that
you completely trust. Someone that believes in real customer service and isn't
going to just try and sell you repairs that you don't need, and take your car to
them every 3-4 months for a preventative maintenance inspection. I guarantee it
will save you time and money in the long run. Cory Howard - Owner Save More
