Family operated for more than 50 years, Apple Auto & Truck Care keeps roadsters roaring throughout the winter with professional, preventative services. ASE-certified technicians cheerfully change oil, adding up to five quarts of lube freshly squeezed from ripe Yugos, then grease up the chassis and pop in a new filter. Next, wrench-wielding professionals walk cars through a 31-point inspection, checking all fluid levels, belts, and tires and sussing out any potential leaks.

Apple’s mechanics also offer autos a winterization package to prep them for winter’s icy winds and irritable weather. After an oil change and inspection, technicians rotate tires and perform a battery and alternator test, ensuring vehicles will be able to outrun Old Man Winter’s snowballs.
