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.

My second great experience at The Shop. Those guys do really great work, and in a professional and timely manner. Had a hole in the radiator on my RAV4. It was going to take a week or two at least at another place I checked, but I just couldn’t wait that long. Needed the car for a trip in 5 days. Just like my previous visit here they did a great reasonably priced job. Steven and the crew are excellent to work with.

I cannot say enough about how fantastic The Shop is! They are not only a great auto shop, but one with integrity. Steven and Jacob were so amazing. I went in to have my wheel barring replaced. I told them about my experience at Meineke and that they just did the brakes... Jacob found that the brake job I just had done by Meineke (Don't ever go there for anything!) reused old hardware and was missing pieces, and that a tire was missing a lug nut because they stripped the bolt! Jacob was so nice and fixed all of Meineke's mistakes for free, made sure to show me what the bad parts looked like compared to the new ones, AND without me asking, took pics of the awful job Meineke did (along with notes) so that I could make formal complaints to the company. To top it off, they gave me an amazing deal on the wheel barring replacement! They 100% have my business from here on out. Thank you for making sure my car was taken care of and safe to drive 🚗👨‍🔧💙

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.

Had a vehicle brought to The Shop for a pre-purchase inspection. Steven was fantastic in working with me on scheduling and the inspection was exactly what I needed. He went through what he found and gave me the information I needed to make a decision. Used vehicles are never perfect, but having a mechanic you can trust help you understand both the current condition as well as what you can expect in terms of repairs down the road is super valuable. I will continue to bring my business here. Highly recommend.

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.
