Running Automotive’s ASE master-certified technicians revamp sluggish, road-weary automobiles with spirit-lifting lubrication services, tire rotations, and safety inspections. The experienced engine enablers pump up to five quarts of conventional oil into the parched car, which then rubs its belly, licks its lips, and revs its revitalized engine. Technicians then replace old filters, lube the chassis, and aim the interrogation beams at the check-engine light for a scan to ensure a healthy symbiosis of operations. Next, mechanics rotate the tires for even tread wear and give the brakes an in-depth inspection to verify their ability to safely halt when confronted with stop signs, traffic jams, and herds of urban buffalo. Oil-change packages last 30 minutes, and any additional service customers purchase will be backed by a one-year parts and labor guarantee.
