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 transparent and very good pricing compared to two other quotes I received from other competitors. They saved the old parts and showed me what they replaced and why it was needed. Thanks for the great service!

You can trust these mechanics and that’s a hard thing to do these days. I have been misled by more than one shop. Honest, knowledgeable,and probably the cleanest garage lobby I’ve ever been in. I will definitely use them again when I need work.

Great people to work with. Got me a quote over the phone quickly, beat the prices of other nearby shops, fun to talk to. They even put us on a good barbecue place nearby. 2 weeks after service they reached out to make sure everything was still good with the service we received.

These guys are great. They spent hours trying to find a problem with the shift column that had locked in reverse but apparently fixed itself and they still tried to find out why. After all the time spent, they charged us $0

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.

Had some trouble with the A/C on my wife's Hyundai Elantra, the technicians at The Shop were very helpful and were able to fix the problem at an extremely low price! We will certainly be using The Shop in the future if we have any more automotive care needs!

My mother-in-law had a fantastic experience with the shop regarding her car repairs. She specifically asked me to leave them a 5 star review on google. They efficiently addressed her oil cooler issue and they also proactively informed her about the condition of the brakes. Her car was fixed in one day! Previously, she had visited another shop expressing concerns about unusual noises when turning, but they failed to resolve the issue or notify her about the bad brakes during their inspection. My mother-in-law felt very comfortable communicating with the technician at this shop, which made the experience even better. Thank you for your exceptional service and for ensuring her safety on the road!

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.

Im so overjoyed and relieved how the men at this shop helped me this morning. I always come here for my repairs. I was close by and my rear turn signal went out and I was in a panic. I pulled over to their shop and asked if they could repair it. They looked so busy. Not only did they come in the parking lot...IN THE POURING RAIN!! They got it fixed in 15 minutes. They always go above and beyond, and always explain everything and are beyond fair on cost. Exceptional service. Haven't seen this before and I'm 52. Brings me joy that someone raised these guys right. Definitely come here..especially the ladies too. Very respectful owner and a great business!
