Having your oil changed regularly is\u00a0one way you can make sure your engine continues working properly.<\/p>\n
So what do we different than other shops during an oil change?<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to changing the oil and oil filter, we do a courtesy inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The inspection covers safety items, such as your wiper blades and brakes, and maintenance items \u2014 whether something is leaking or if a part is wearing out.<\/span><\/p>\n Tires is one thing we check out. <\/span>Maybe the tires are at 4\/32 inches, and they don\u2019t have to be changed right this minute but we give you a heads up that you\u2019re getting close to the end of the service life.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the oil change that we do, it\u2019s looking over your vehicle to make sure we can stay on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n Tire rotation is another service that we try to include with oil changes. <\/span>A lot of shops charge an extra $20 or $25 to perform a tire rotation. <\/span>We are able to include it up to a certain size tire rim.<\/span><\/p>\n When doing an oil change, our automotive technicians use full synthetic oil.<\/span><\/p>\n Manufacturers having many different vehicles and various types of engines that require certain oil specifications \u2014 regular oil, semi-synthetic oil, or full synthetic oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire decided to use full synthetic oil in all vehicles rather than carry 30 different types of oil. <\/span><\/p>\n The change has allowed us to reduce the price of full synthetic oil for oil changes.\u00a0<\/span>Synthetic is also better for vehicles that use regular or semi-synthetic oil. It has better properties that help their engines last longer.<\/span><\/p>\n We still use the weight that manufacturers recommend for each vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n If you own a car that requires Mobil 1 oil, such as a BMW or a Mercedes, we do offer it as a full synthetic option.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire is an authorized Michelin and BFGoodrich tire dealer located in Woodbridge, Virginia. Automotive repair services are performed on all makes and models, including oil changes, brakes, alignments, inspections, and computer engine diagnostics. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having your oil changed regularly is\u00a0one way you can make sure your engine continues working properly.
