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.
