Maintenance & oil change

Oil change, filter replacement and scheduled maintenance.

Service description

We change the oil and oil filter and carry out the checks listed in your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. As needed, we also replace the engine air filter and cabin air filter.

Why does it matter?

Engine oil is your car’s lifeblood: it lubricates the metal parts so they do not rub and wear out early. Over time, it collects dirt and loses its effectiveness, which can damage the engine. Changing your oil regularly keeps the engine clean, prevents overheating and helps it last much longer.

FAQ

Does servicing at an independent shop void my warranty?

No. In Canada you can service your car anywhere, as long as you follow the manufacturer schedule and keep your invoices. We record the mileage and products used on every invoice.

Which oil do you use?

We use oil that strictly meets your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and viscosity standards.

How long does an oil change take?

It usually takes less than an hour. We tell you how much time to plan for when you arrive.
