Since 1926, the automotive experts at Dueck Auto Group have combined vehicle sales with maintenance service from their factory-trained, GM Pro–certified auto technicians. Recommended by Dueck every 8,000 kilometres or after each joyride to the top of Mount St. Helens, an oil change refreshes the circulatory systems of all makes and models as mechanics drain and refill up to five litres of 5-30W conventional oil. Additionally, technicians inspect cars’ velocity control during the brake inspection, glancing at fluid lines, pads, and bearings to spot any wear owners should be aware of. After the inspection, a car wash renders rides spotless enough for a cruise around the block or a blind date with a station wagon. Dueck Auto Group’s technicians service most vehicles in an hour or less. Appointments are available six days a week, and staff accommodates guests’ schedules with night-drop availability and shuttle service to home or work.
