Oil and Fluid Changes

An oil change is one of the most common reasons to bring your vehicle in for service, so it’s a good place to start. You may have heard that you must bring your vehicle in for an oil change every 3,000 miles, but that’s not necessarily true. Between advances in modern engines and synthetic motor oil, it’s possible to go significantly more than 3,000 miles between oil changes, so you don’t need to keep an eagle eye on the odometer or stress out about putting a lot of miles on your vehicle. Most modern vehicles have an oil life monitoring system (OLMS) that will let you know with either a light on the dashboard or a warning on the touchscreen when it’s time to come in for an oil change. Still, it’s good practice to monitor your vehicle’s oil level with the dipstick just in case the monitoring system has a problem. You can read your owner’s manual for instructions on how to check your motor oil, and feel free to call us if you have any questions about it.

No matter how little you drive or what the OLMS says, you should come in to get your oil changed and filter replaced at least once a year because spent motor oil can damage your engine. No matter what vehicle you drive, we’ll be sure to get you matched up with the motor oil that’s right for your needs. We have multiple types on hand, from conventional to full synthetic, so we’ll make sure you get the one that’s best for your vehicle. When you come in for an oil change, we’ll make the drive from Johns Creek worth it by throwing in a tire rotation and multipoint inspection, too. That way, you’ll get your vehicle inspected regularly by a professional so minor concerns are caught before they become big, costly problems. That inspection includes checking other fluid levels, like brake fluid and windshield washer fluid, so you can drive away with all your fluids topped off.

Battery, Tires, and Parts

Our parts department is well-stocked with genuine GM parts and high-quality tires from a variety of brands. Once we know your vehicle’s make and model, our expert technicians can advise you about what tire size or part will be a perfect fit so you never have to worry about getting stuck with something that’s incompatible or will wear down unevenly over time. Drivers are sure to appreciate our competitive prices and the fact that we make sure that all of our parts are high quality and built to last for years to come.

Since your tires are in constant contact with the road, they wear down over time. Getting your tires rotated regularly every time you come in for an oil change or every 7,500 miles, whichever comes first, helps them wear down evenly so they last as long as possible. We can also help you extend the life of your tires by regularly checking your tire pressure and wheel alignment. When they reach the end of their lifespan, you can get a replacement set of tires here. We have a variety of brands on hand and can help you find specialty types like all-terrain or all-weather tires.

Your vehicle’s battery is also essential to the life of your car. Not only does it need to start the engine, but it also powers your vehicle’s air conditioning system, which can feel equally important during those hot Georgia summers. Our technicians can test your battery if you’re worried about it for any reason and find out if it’s having any issues. If so, we can get you set up with the service you need or a replacement battery if necessary.

Tune-Ups and Multipoint Inspections

We’ve already mentioned that you’ll get a multipoint inspection from us whenever you come in for an oil change. But what exactly does that inspection entail, and are there other times you might want to get one? Well, if you’re about to hit I-75 for an epic road trip, then it’s wise to come in for service even if you’re not due for an oil change or any other maintenance. If there are any issues, you can find out about them ahead of time and get them fixed close to home instead of being at the mercy of whatever mechanic is within towing distance of where you broke down on the side of the road. If your vehicle has a clean bill of health, you can drive confidently.

Here’s a simple rundown of what our technicians look for during an inspection:

• Oil life
• Other fluid levels (brake & windshield washer fluid)
• Tire wear
• Wiper blades
• Windshield glass condition
• Brake system (pads, linings, hoses, parking brake, etc.)
• Battery condition
• OnStar connectivity (if applicable)
• Visible leaks or other damage

At the end of the inspection, you’ll get an easy-to-understand color-coded guide to how things are looking in your vehicle. Green items are good to go. Red items should be addressed right away. Yellow items are acceptable for now, but you should keep an eye on them because they’ll need attention in the near future.

Bring Your Model to Us for Expert Care
