How We Work

More Than a Quick Lube

An oil change is the most important routine maintenance your engine gets — and the best chance to catch small problems before they turn expensive. At SP Automotive the owner does the work: we use the oil grade and specification your manufacturer calls for, install a quality filter, and look the whole vehicle over while it’s on the lift.

You get a text with photos of anything that needs attention and the price, plus an honest “this is fine” list. Nothing extra gets done unless you approve it. We service daily drivers, light trucks, fleet vans, diesels and classic cars that need high-zinc oil for flat-tappet camshafts.

Questions

Oil Change FAQ

How often should I change my oil?

Follow your owner’s manual or oil-life monitor. Most modern cars on synthetic oil run 5,000 to 10,000 miles between changes; older engines, towing, short trips and dusty conditions call for shorter intervals.

How long does an oil change take?

The service itself takes under an hour. Most customers drop off in the morning and pick up after work, and oil and maintenance work is guaranteed same day.

Do you do synthetic and diesel oil changes?

Yes. We service gasoline and diesel engines with full synthetic, synthetic blend, high-mileage or conventional oil, matched to your manufacturer’s specification.

Will you try to sell me other work?

No. We inspect the vehicle and text you photos of anything we find, with the price. If something can wait, we’ll tell you, and nothing gets done unless you approve it.
