Regular Oil Changes are essential to long engine
life and warranty protection. Motor Oil contains additives to help
it keep your engine clean, cool engine parts, lubricate to reduce
friction and wear, protect against rust and corrosion and seal combustion
pressures. As the additives in used motor oil begin to break down
it can no longer perform these duties and must be replaced. The Oil
Filter serves to keep the Oil system free of larger particulate that
can damage your engine. The Oil Filter should always be changed with
the Oil.

Fuel System Service
Pricing: $129.95
Service includes our complete 3-Step treatment. This service will
maintain your vehicle’s fuel system and prevent loss of performance
or fuel efficiency loss.
Our new pressurized cannister delivery system offers a more thorough
cleaning than ever before.
Your fuel system is comprised of the fuel tank, lines,
pump and filter as well as the fuel injectors or carburetor, combustion
chambers and intake valves. Build-up of deposits and dirt in the fuel
system, particularly in the intake valves, combustion chambers and
fuel injectors reduce power and performance and increase harmful emissions.
This 3-part treatment was developed to address each of these areas
as well as dispersing water and other contaminants to treat not just
your fuel injectors but the entire fuel system! Benefits of a properly
maintained fuel system include smoother idling, less stalling, improved
throttle response, smoother acceleration and cleaner emissions.

The specific characteristics of Antifreeze serve a dual purpose by
preventing boil-over in the summer and freezing in the winter. Additionally,
antifreeze prevents corrosion in the cooling system, which can be
problematic. Antifreeze should periodically be tested for both freeze
protection and/or pH balance as relates to its ability to prevent
corrosion. Failing either test means antifreeze is due for replacement.
