Schedule Regular Oil Changes for Spring

An oil change is one of the most important things you can do to keep your engine running well. Old oil can break down and stop protecting your engine as it should. We'll drain the old oil, replace it with fresh oil, and install a new oil filter to help your engine stay clean and strong. If you've been searching for a fast and friendly oil change near Baxley, we've got you covered.

Inspect and Top Off Fluids

Your vehicle has many fluids that help it run smoothly, such as coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, and transmission fluid. Over time, these can become low or dirty. We'll check each one, top them off, or replace them as needed, helping your car perform its best as the weather warms up.

Inspect and Replace Air Filters

Clean air filters help your engine and cabin stay fresh. The engine air filter keeps dirt and debris out of the engine, while the cabin air filter helps clean the air inside your vehicle. If they're dirty or clogged, they can affect performance and air quality. We'll inspect and replace them if needed so you can breathe easy this spring.

Tire Inspection & Tire Rotation

Spring often means more road trips and outdoor adventures, so your tires must be in good shape. We'll inspect the tread depth and tire pressure and look for signs of wear or damage. Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly and last longer. Whether you drive a Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500, or Dodge Durango, keeping your tires in check keeps you safe.

Check Brakes & Repair

Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features in your vehicle. If you hear squeaking, feel shaking, or notice your vehicle takes longer to stop, it could be time for a brake check. Our team will inspect your brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure everything works properly. If anything needs repair, we'll do it right here at the shop.

Inspect Belts and Hoses

Over time, belts and hoses can crack, fray, or wear out. If they fail while you're driving, it can cause big problems. During your spring check-up, we'll inspect your serpentine belt, timing belt, and radiator hoses to ensure no signs of damage. If we spot anything risky, we'll recommend a replacement using high-quality MOPAR parts.
