Regular maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid expensive repairs. A fresh oil and filter change keeps your engine clean and protected, and staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule catches small problems before they become big ones.
At Rick’s Automotive, an oil change isn’t just an oil change. While your vehicle is with us, we take a quick look at the things that keep you safe on the road — belts, hoses, fluids, and wear items — and let you know if anything needs attention. No surprises, no pressure. Just a heads-up so you can plan ahead.
We follow manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules, including severe-service schedules for vehicles that tow, idle a lot, or see a lot of winter driving. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance also helps protect the factory warranty on newer vehicles.
We also do tune-ups — spark plugs, filters, and the related wear items that gradually cost you fuel economy and smoothness without ever quite feeling like a fault. Modern engines don’t need them as often as they used to, so we’ll tell you honestly whether yours is due or whether you’d be spending money for nothing.
If the vehicle is running rough or the check-engine light is on, that’s a diagnostic job rather than a tune-up. See engine diagnostics and repair.
