I do not change my own oil nor do I have a lift in my garage. It is typically a ‘loss leader’ as the shop inspects for other defects.

I will however do my own brakes, tie rods (count turns and drive slowly to a neighborhood alignment shop), wheel bearing replacement, window motor replacement, spliced wiring after squirrel chewing, and other easy tasks. I haven’t needed many repairs more complex than that.

When's your next appointment opening?

I worked on cars a lot in my youth including an engine overhaul. Also changed my oil for many years. But for the last decade or more I have given Express Oil the honor of tending to that task. :-)
