Oil change
& maintenance
An oil change here is not a five-minute drain and a paper mat. You get the right oil, a new filter, and a look at the leaks and worn parts while the car is already in the air.
Call (908) 569-1787
Oil and filter
The spec your engine actually calls for, not whatever is on sale. Filter every time.
Fluid checks
Coolant, brake, power steering, washer, and transmission level while it is on the lift.
Undercar look
We tell you about the leak, the cracked boot, or the brake pad that is close. You decide what happens next.
Scheduled maintenance
Cabin filters, air filters, plugs, and the services your mileage is actually due for.
Sound familiar?
Oil life light or overdue sticker
Short Union trips and Route 22 idling are hard on oil. Do not stretch a 5,000-mile interval to 10 because the bottle said full synthetic.
Dark oil or a burning smell
Could be overdue. Could be a leak on a hot manifold. We check both.
Low oil between changes
Some engines drink a little. Some have a leak. We measure consumption and look underneath instead of just topping it off and waving you out.
You only come in when something breaks
That is the expensive way. A maintenance visit is how small leaks stay small.
Free computer diagnostic scan
With a qualifying repair. Additional diagnostic labor may be required depending on the concern.

FAQ — OIL CHANGEHow long does an oil change take?
Most are same-day, often while you wait if you call ahead. We are a repair shop, not a lube tunnel, so the car also gets a real look.
Do you use conventional or synthetic?
Whatever the manufacturer specified for that engine. If you want to step up, we will say so. We will not down-spec it to hit a price.
Will you try to sell me a bunch of extras?
We will tell you what we see. You approve anything beyond the oil and filter. The invoice matches the number you heard.
Can Springfield or Kenilworth drivers just swing by?
Yes. Magie Ave is a short run off 22. Call so we can hold the bay and have the right oil on the cart.
