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.

Went here today to get my partner's car looked at and everyone was very nice. they worked pretty quickly despite being decently busy, and they let us know everything that was wrong with the car, without any charge for inspection. 10/10 will be coming back for any future vehicle needs.

Oil Housing Adaptor cracked resulting in Coolant/Oil leaking and mixing. The Shop got my vehicle in and repaired the next day after calling for a quote. Cost was the most competitive of a handful of quotes I received from other local repair shops. Would use again!

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.

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 🚗👨‍🔧💙

Had my Highlander in to do an oil change after attempting myself. Turns out the last place I had it had tightened the oil filter to a Herculean level. Luckily the guys there were able to remove it without damaging the filter housing which was amazing. I have found my new permanent home for auto repair.

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 had a new engine put in my Kia sorento they fixed it so quick and my car runs as good as when I bought it brand new. They also Educated more about my car things the car dealer ship won’t tell you.

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.

Steven (The owner) was recommended to me by a friend for a tune up and eval on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma. I could not have asked for better service and transparency from Steven and his crew. They went ahead and gave me a run down on the price for the services my truck needed before pulling the trigger on the repairs, and educated me along the process. The entire process was smooth, honest, and quite efficient. Had everything taken care of within a day, and I told them they could take their time with my truck. I will only be taking my truck to this shop from here on out.

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.
