Why shouldn't I get my oil changed at a quick lube?

Why shouldn't I get my oil changed at a quick lube?

In a moments notice when you are traveling or even perhaps in an emergency that is fine. The biggest problem is that they are not all properly trained and they are not always looking out for your best interest. We had a gentleman decide to get a discounted oil change at a quick lube.  It was anything but a deal. They broke his oil pan and it had to be replaced. The person who changed his oil had no idea what they were doing and instead of a $25 oil change he got to purchase an oil pan. I know the difference was more than the extra $15 he would have spent here, and no they did not repay him for his loss of time and the repair. Yes it is oil and filter, the difference is the level of training and expertise that goes into it. Give us a call and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures Heather

Why should I get a pre-purchase inspection?

  I can give you a hundred or more reasons to get a pre-purchase inspection on a used vehicle. Now if it's new and I mean no previous owner and no mileage new then of course you don't need one, but if you are not the first owner, and it's ever been used as a loaner vehicle or rented out - PLEASE get an inspection. Those are the first vehicles that get abuse. The low mileage lease returns are another example, many of those haven't been maintained properly and you will end up with not only a payment but a list of maintenance that needs to be done too.  Getting a new car or a new to you car should be fun and not stressful. The cost of an inspection can save you thousands and give you piece of mind.  Happy Adventures Heather
