Why regular oil changes matter

Engine oil needs regular checking and changing. Low or worn-out oil increases friction inside the engine, which can cause severe engine damage with repair costs running into the thousands. A routine oil change is one of the cheapest ways to protect your engine.

The green oil change

Neal’s Garage offers re-refined motor oil such as EcoPower. Re-refined oil takes less energy to produce and reduces the need for new oil from crude resources — part of how Neal’s Garage goes green. We also recycle used vehicle fluids and batteries.

Every oil change includes a free inspection

While your oil is changed, our ASE-certified technicians run the free multi-point inspection: brakes, tires, lights, steering, belts, fluid levels and more. We also offer free battery testing, tire inspection and wheel alignment testing.
