Engine Oil Change
Package pricing:
Non-Synthetics: starting at $49.95

Services include a FRAM brand Oil Filter, Petro-Canada
5W30 or 10W30 motor Oil, Chassis Lubrication and our multi-point

Regular Oil Changes are essential to long engine
life and warranty protection. Motor Oil contains additives
to help it keep your engine clean, cool engine parts,
lubricate to reduce friction and wear, protect against
rust and corrosion and seal combustion pressures. As the
additives in used motor oil begin to break down it can
no longer perform these duties and must be replaced. The
Oil Filter serves to keep the Oil system free of larger
particulate that can damage your engine. The Oil Filter
should always be changed with the Oil.

Every 24,000 km
Fuel System Service
Pricing: $119.95
Service includes our complete 3-Step treatment. This service
will maintain your vehicle’s fuel system to prevent
performance or fuel efficiency loss.
Our new pressurized cannister delivery system offers a
more thorough cleaning than ever before.
Your fuel system is comprised of the fuel tank, lines,
pump and filter as well as the fuel injectors or carburetor,
combustion chambers and intake valves. Build-up of deposits
and dirt in the fuel system, particularly in the intake
valves, combustion chambers and fuel injectors reduce
power and performance and increase harmful emissions.
This 3-part treatment was developed to address each of
these areas as well as dispersing water and other contaminants
to treat not just your fuel injectors but the entire fuel
system! Benefits of a properly maintained fuel system
include smoother idling, less stalling, improved throttle
response, smoother acceleration and cleaner emissions.

Dex-Cool, Mopar or Ford GO-5: $129.95
Recommended every 2 years or 48,000 kms for most cars.

The Cooling System in your vehicle is responsible for
maintaining safe operating temperatures and protecting
your engine. The specific characteristics of Antifreeze
serve a dual purpose by preventing boil-over in the summer
and freezing in the winter. Additionally, antifreeze prevents
corrosion in the cooling system, which can be problematic.
Antifreeze should periodically be tested for both freeze
protection and/or pH balance as relates to its ability
to prevent corrosion. Failing either test means antifreeze
is due for replacement.
