Services · Oil Changes & Maintenance
Routine maintenance costs less than the repairs it helps you avoid. Oil, lube and filter service, battery testing, belts and fluids — done properly, with a heads-up on anything else we notice while your vehicle is in.
What's covered
Maintenance is also a good chance to catch small problems early. If we see something while your vehicle is in, we'll tell you what it is and how urgent it is — and leave the decision with you.
Common reasons people call
These are some of the signs that bring drivers in. None of them fix themselves — and most are cheaper to deal with early.
The sticker, the dash reminder or the odometer says it's time.
A check-over before a long drive or a heavy load.
Batteries and cooling systems work hardest in cold snaps and heat waves.
Especially on cold starts or with the A/C running.
A baseline of what's been done and what's coming up.

In detail
What to plan around:
Why proper diagnosis matters
The same symptom can come from several places. Testing narrows it to the part that's actually failing.
You'll hear what we found and why it matters before any work goes ahead, with upfront pricing.
Replacing parts until the problem goes away is expensive. Diagnosis first keeps the bill to what's needed.
Guides & answers
Plain-language answers to the questions drivers ask about oil changes & maintenance.
Driveway checks, what a technician should inspect, a kit packed for a closure and the road check on the day, for winter drives over the Coquihalla, Hwy 3 or the Fraser Canyon.
Why a battery that starts the car all fall can fail on the first frozen morning, how old is too old, and why a battery and charging-system test beats guessing.
Your heater runs on engine coolant, so cold air from the vents usually points to the cooling system. Here's what each symptom means and what's normal on a cold morning.
Rapid clicking, a single click and silence each point somewhere different. What the sound and your dash lights say about the battery, starter and alternator, and what to tell the shop.
Rain squeak, wear-indicator squeal, grinding and hot-brake smells: what each brake noise usually means, and how to tell a normal one from a stop-driving one.
Which exhaust leak symptoms can wait for an inspection and which mean stop now, why carbon monoxide is the real risk, and what BC's rules say about leaks and loud exhausts.
It depends on the vehicle, the oil it uses and how you drive. Your owner's manual is the starting point, and we're happy to go over it with you.
