Oil Changes

Why you should change your oil regularly.

Regular oil changes are a fundamental aspect of car maintenance. Engine oil lubricates vital components, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective, potentially causing engine damage. By changing the oil at recommended intervals, typically every 3,000 to 5,000 miles (check your owner’s manual), you ensure that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently, improving fuel economy and extending the life of your vehicle. It’s a relatively simple and cost-effective maintenance task that can significantly impact your car’s performance and longevity.

Oil Changes in Jeffersontown, KY

Unusual Noises

Engine oil serves as a lubricant that reduces friction between moving parts in the engine. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective, potentially leading to increased friction and wear. Regular oil changes ensure that your engine continues to run smoothly and efficiently, reducing the risk of costly damage.

Heat Regulation

Engine oil also plays a vital role in dissipating heat generated during engine operation. As oil ages, it loses its heat-absorbing and dissipating properties, which can lead to overheating and decreased engine performance. Fresh oil helps maintain the engine’s optimal operating temperature, preventing overheating-related problems.

Contaminant Removal

Engine oil collects and holds contaminants like dirt, debris, and engine byproducts. These particles can become suspended in the oil, causing it to become sludgy and less effective. Regular oil changes remove these contaminants, ensuring that the engine remains clean and protected from harmful deposits.

Fuel Efficiency

Clean, fresh oil contributes to better fuel efficiency. When the engine runs smoothly and efficiently, it consumes less fuel. Neglecting oil changes can lead to reduced gas mileage, costing you more money at the pump. Regular oil changes not only protect your engine but also save you money in the long run by improving fuel economy.

Very thorough mechanics. Owners Steve and Jacob very nice and upfront with explaining everything. It was a great experience and literally one of the best times I’ve had at an auto repair shop!

The only place I would take my GMC diesel truck. They have always been fair priced and quick to get to me. My truck is used for work and is $80+ k to replace and they have always done me right.

I had my Honda civic serviced there and was taken care of so quickly! Tires were going bad and they replaced all four, did an alignment and replaced a wheel bearing that was much needed. My car drives so smoothly now and is much quieter. Also their prices are honest. I would visit here again and refer anyone to The Shop for their car needs! Thank you

My husband and I have had a great experience with this shop. Excellent brake job and fair prices. Once my electrical panel lit up with the trac off and check engine light. They found my gas cap wasn't tight enough and it caused a vacuum. I was relieved at the quick, easy fix. I would have had to pay $180 at the dealership to find out something simple like that. I wasn't even charged here at all :)

Steven and the mechanics at the shop are as honest as they come. Twice now I've come to them with "problems" that they've talked me out of wasting money on. They use good old fashion diagnostics to insure that they aren't just throwing parts at the problem to waste your time and money.

Our Prius was acting like the hybrid battery was problematic. We called around and found The Shop who could get it in and diagnose it for us. It ended up being the accessory battery. We appreciated the communications, and quick turn around of the car. I highly recommend this business.

This place is great and would definitely recommend it to anyone. I have used them a few times already and haven't had any issues come from their work. First off the staff is super friendly and helpful which puts you at ease. Secondly they will diagnose your car and break it down for you on what specifically is wrong and not try and upsell you on what you wouldn't need. They also run car fax reports on your car to see what maintenance should be done on your car to help maintain and prolong the life of your car. They also follow up after they have done the service to check to make sure no issues have come up. If your looking for a new place to take your car, check them out you will not be disappointed.

Great experience at this place and very well ran. Had some problems with my truck was able to get me in the same day and have it ready 2 days later. This was seriously the first time someone has ever walked me through everything I had going on. Even offered to have there specialist come up as well if I wanted. When I went in to pick up my car they had everything laid out on the counter so I could visually see everything they had told me they were going to replace and had the team as well there. Mind blown!!!! I might add that before they did anything he even offered to let me take anywhere else and get an another opinion before doing anything. Hats off to these guys. Can't tell you enough how much I recommend this place.

There's a reason The Shop's parking lot is perpetually packed, and it's not because the towering skeleton out front is a popular fellow: these guys know what they're doing, and they do it well. We have five vehicles, from my grandfather's aging F150 that's nearly as old as I am to a Fusion young enough to go to kindergarten to an ugly-but-running Town and Country, and The Shop's team of mechanics has provided excellent service to all of them. All of our automotive work is done by these guys now, and I recommend that you do the same.

Found them through google and the reviews are spot on. Brought a car I just purchased for a thorough inspection. They found a coolant leak and fixed it on the spot. They also found some issues that can be addressed later. Gave me some quotes and I will be able to budget it and come back. Now I can drive with some peace of mind. Bonus points: When they replace parts they keep the worn items to show you what was wrong. This kind of shop is far and few between. They earned my business. Give them a shot and I’m sure they’ll earn yours as well.

I have family members who have had excellent experiences with The Shop, so that's where I took my car after it broke down. Steven called me every day with detailed updates to what he was finding and what it would cost. He was kind and friendly, I felt informed and confident that my car was in good hands, and I feel the price I paid was extremely fair. Best of all, my car drives beautifully (and safely) again. I will absolutely be returning next time my car needs work.
