When Should I Get an Oil Change?

The frequency of oil changes can depend on factors such as how old your car is, the driving conditions in your area, and the type of oil you use. The consensus is every 7,000-10,000 miles. If your car is more than 5 years old, your oil should be changed roughly every 5,000 miles.

How Often Should I Check My Car’s Fluid Levels?

In addition to oil, you should monitor your car’s transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and more. Like oil, these fluid levels can change based on environmental factors, such as Wilmington’s heat in the summer! We recommend you check these fluids every couple of months.

Why Are My Brakes Squealing?

If you notice that your brakes are squealing, you should get them looked at ASAP. The squealing noise is because the rubber on your brake pads is wearing down. If you don’t get your brakes looked at soon, you could be at risk of brake failure. Read more about squealing brakes here.

Why Is My Check Engine Light On?

Your check engine light could be on for a vast number of reasons. It doesn’t always mean you’re going to have to spend a fortune. Bring your car into our Wilmington NC auto repair shop to diagnose and fix the issue.
