Nobody likes it when their car breaks down. It can leave you stranded and cost you lots of extra money. That’s why it’s important to have a qualified mechanic like Wolf’s Foreign Auto Service, Inc. perform routine maintenance on your vehicle, including regular oil changes and tune-ups. Keeping up with these two important automotive services can greatly extend the life of your automobile, whether you live in Merrillville, Griffith, New Elliott, Green Acres, or Hartsdale, IN.
Oil Changes
The old conventional wisdom on cars recommended you have your vehicle’s oil changed roughly every 3,000 miles. Today’s cars, especially those running on synthetic oil can go 5,000, 10,000, and sometimes as much as 15,000 miles between oil changes. Your owner’s manual will have the specific guidelines for your vehicle, but if you’re not sure, changing the oil every 5,000 miles is a safe bet. Skipping oil changes will result in dirty oil clogging up your engine and eventually cause irreparable damage.
Regardless of the needs of your specific car, during every oil change service at Wolf’s. we:
- Our complete computerized inspection
- Drain old oil
- Replace the oil filter
- Dispose of used oil
- Add new oil
- Reset warning lights
Complete Tune-Up Service
In addition to regular oil changes, your car needs a tune-up every 30,000 miles if it was made before 1990, and every 100,000 if it’s a newer model to ensure it runs at it’s best and catches minor problems before they become expensive headaches. Our ASE certified mechanics will never tell you your vehicle needs a service it doesn’t. With every tune-up service, you can trust Wolf’s Foreign Auto Service, Inc. to:
