A Grease Monkey full-service oil change is more than a simple oil infusion. Expert mechanics give your car a full physical, checking its respiratory system (air filter, breather element, and PCV valve), vision (windshield-wiper blades and exterior lights), and circulatory system (power-steering fluid, battery fluid, windshield fluid, transmission or transaxle fluid, differential fluid, and engine-coolant level). Your car's carpets will then be vacuumed and its exterior windows washed, leaving it cleaner and healthier than a bar of soap running on a treadmill. A tire rotation completes your car's transformation into a fully tuned wheelmobile.

In addition to doling out free flat repairs, alignment checks, and front-end, brake, and tire inspections, the ASE–certified mechanics at Patriot Tire & Auto head off or mend automotive malfunctions with preventive service and repairs. The shop’s online service, My Garage, helps diagnose ailments before they even reach the shop, allowing drivers to note handling issues, strange smells, or what color exhaust the car is coughing up. A nationwide limited warranty then covers some services for up to 12 months or 12,000 miles. True to its name, Patriot Tire & Auto also stocks name-brand tires trusted manufacturers including Michelin, Goodyear, and Bridgestone.:m]]

Auto Clinic's friendly, dedicated staff has kept cars on Michiana roads for more than three decades. Within their full-service NAPA AutoCare Center and Bosch-authorized service center, they treat all makes and models of foreign and domestic cars with maintenance and diagnostic services, such as oil changes and bumper-to-bumper inspections.

NAPA's Peace of Mind warranty stands behind much of their handiwork, covering qualifying repairs and services for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Without fresh oil, the parts of an engine gradually generate more friction and move less efficiently. Tire rotations can prolong the life of tires, helping to distribute wear more evenly. Simple maintenance processes such as these can save drivers money and time and prevent breakdowns in the dark woods where terrible barbershop quartets practice. To this end, Monteith Tire’s technicians, who are certified by the Automotive Service Excellency agency, have worked to keep rides running smoothly for nearly three decades.
