Real Automotive oil changes
Our oil changes are performed by ASE Master Technicians. These are 20 plus year technicians servicing your vehicle. The same technicians performing high level electrical diagnosis, engine replacements or transmission repairs. Our oil changes include:
TEST DRIVE:
Making sure your vehicle feels like it should. Check brakes, suspension, alignment and overall vehicle feel
VEHICLE INSPECTION:
We perform a complimentary inspection making sure your vehicle is safe and major issues are brought to your attention. We actually lift the vehicle and check brake fluid, transmission fluid, belts, look for oil or coolant leaks, check the brakes, check tires and check for loose or damaged suspension components.
OIL CHANGE:
Drain the oil, replace the drain plug gasket, torque to proper spec, replace oil filter, fill the vehicle with high quality oil, fill washer fluid, reset oil change messages and install high quality sticker with a QR code for easy scheduling of your next oil change.
COMFY, COZY FACILITY:
Enjoy waiting in our very comfortable waiting room. Nice and cozy furniture with a large TV for watching movies. Help yourself to our espresso machine or have one of us make your favorite drinks. We also have regular coffee and a wide variety of drinks, sodas, or energy drinks.
FRIENDLY STAFF: Let our highly trained staffing show you why we’re ranked as one of Colorado Springs top automotive repair shops
Work Can Be Performed:
If something like a leaking water pump or dangerously loose suspension components are found on the inspection, the work can be performed by one of our ASE Master techs and we offer a 3 year, nationwide warranty.
Other Shops / quick lube
Most of these shops employ younger, newer and inexperienced personnel. The facilities are either packed and faced paced or they are run down and dirty. Your oil change experience will more than likely include:
No or Inexperienced Test Drive:
They bring your vehicle directly in the shop and any major issues are not brought to your attention. The staffing is also inexperienced so even if an issue was felt, they probably don’t know what it is.
No vehicle Inspection:
Your vehicle isn’t lifted and it also isn’t inspected. They might check to see if your vehicle is low on power steering fluid but nothing major is checked. If you have a leaking transmission seal that could easily be repaired, it isn’t noted or brought to your attention. This will lead to transmission failure as the fluid level gets too low. Brake are not checked, dangerous loose suspension components are not checked.
Basic Oil Change:
Most shops are using cheap oil filters, cheap oil, not replacing drain plug gaskets and probably not torqueing the drain plug properly which can lead to oil pan damage and eventually needing an oil pan replaced.
Run Down Facility:
No cozy waiting room. Nasty coffee. The worlds oldest and smallest TV.
Work cannot be completed:
Even if smaller repairs are brought to your attention, they usually cannot be completed because the shop isn’t experienced enough. Or if smaller repairs can be completed, they’re performed by younger, inexperienced technicians.
