How Much Does an Oil Change Cost?
Oil change cost depends on the type of oil your vehicle requires and the size of your engine. Conventional oil is generally less expensive, while synthetic or high-mileage oil offers better performance and protection but comes at a higher price. Luxury vehicles may also require more oil, which can raise the cost. At Eric’s Car Care, we ensure the right oil and filter are used for your vehicle, protecting your engine in the long run.
Why an Auto Repair Shop is Better Than Mobile Oil Change Services
Mobile mechanics may seem quick and easy, but when it comes to engine health and long-term performance, a professional auto shop is always the better choice.
- Advanced Equipment: Shops use lifts, fluid exchange machines, and diagnostic tools that mobile services can’t provide.
- Full-Service Care: From standard oil changes to engine flushes and filter replacements, shops deliver services that mobile mechanics aren’t equipped to handle.
- Better Parts & Fluids: Access to OEM-quality oil filters and premium-grade oils ensures longer-lasting protection and better performance.
- Safe & Controlled Environment: Oil changes are completed under clean, controlled conditions—no driveway spills, weather issues, or limited tools.

I went in the shop preparing for a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised to be seen right away. By now the second stresser had kicked in, what was it going to cost? That worry was also not a worry at all when I was told the price. Good there to. The staff was also pleasant and courteous. I will definitely be back , but in the future from the beginning there will be no worries. Great job!

Eric’s has been proven to be trustworthy. The staff and service were both good. During a diagnostic on my vehicle I was informed that work done at another shop wasn’t correctly done and I should take my car back to the previous mechanic. I did and the work was re-done. Thank you Eric!

I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed hoping to get my headlight fixed but prepared to be asked to come back the next day. Not only did they fix my headlight but they also put air in my tires and fixed my license plate light in less than 15 minutes. Incredibly kind and efficient service.
