Service FAQ

Oil is what keeps your engine parts from wearing out prematurely. It lubricates your engine, which helps to reduce friction. However, oil doesn't last forever. It gets dirty over time, and it eventually breaks down into a sludgy substance. Old, dirty can have a negative impact on the health, performance, and efficiency of your engine, so it's important to change your oil regularly so that your engine always has a fresh supply.

Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or so, but your driving habits and the kind of car you drive can affect how frequently you should bring your car in for a change. Our team offers a quick lube service so that when the time for an oil change does roll around, we can get you in and out fast so that you can get back to your journeys around Aransas Pass.

One of the easiest ways to see if your tires need to be replaced is with the penny test. You can check tread depth by slipping a penny between your tread and checking to see how much of Lincoln's head you can see. If the top of the head is visible, your tires are lacking in tread and should be replaced. Age is also a factor. Even if your tires appear to be in good shape with adequate tread and no obvious damage, they might be unsafe to drive on if they are more than six years old.

Tire rotations help your tires last longer by helping them wear out evenly. Tires don't tend to wear out evenly on their own, so they need tire rotations to help. During a tire rotation, our team will remove your tires from your car and put them back on in different positions. This often entails swapping your front tires with your rear tires. Changing the positions of your tires helps all four tires wear out evenly, which helps them last longer overall.

We recommend a wheel alignment check at least twice a year. Improper wheel alignment can cause problems with handling, and it can also cause excessive tire wear. Regular alignment checkups can help our team catch alignment issues before they start causing major problems. Regular everyday driving can gradually nudge your wheels out of alignment, which is why regular checks are necessary.
