Full Service Oil & Fluid Maintenance We Offer

We handle all the essential services that keep your vehicle’s systems operating reliably:

Engine oil & filter change – We drain the old oil, install a high-quality oil filter, and refill with the correct grade oil to match your vehicle’s manufacturer specification.
Transmission fluid service – Whether it’s a fluid exchange or full flush, we service the transmission’s fluid to ensure smooth shifting and protect internal components.
Coolant/antifreeze inspection & replacement – We check your cooling system for proper coolant level, condition, and protection level—then flush or top up as needed to prevent overheating or freeze damage.
Brake, power-steering & differential fluid checks – These lesser-noticed fluids are vital to safe, smooth vehicle operation—our techs inspect and service them as part of a complete maintenance visit.
Windshield washer & A/C refrigerant top-up – For full convenience we also cover the ancillary fluids that keep windows clean and air blowing properly.
Full vehicle inspection during service – With every oil change and fluid check, we perform a multi-point inspection to alert you to upcoming maintenance and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

When It’s Time for Service

The rule of thumb: every 3,000-5,000 miles or as your manufacturer recommends for oil changes, and fluid checks at least once a year or with every major service interval. You should schedule service sooner if you notice:

Engine running hotter than normal
Transmission is shifting rough or late
Coolant smells sweet (may indicate leak)
Brake or steering feel spongy
Washer fluid low or windows not clearing properly

At Mike’s Auto Service we’ll tune into your vehicle’s performance signs and tailor service to your driving conditions, whether it’s city, highway, light-duty truck, or heavy use.

Oil Change FAQs

Can my oil change include a full vehicle inspection?Mike's Auto Service2025-10-31T03:59:53-04:00

Can my oil change include a full vehicle inspection?

Absolutely. At Mike’s, every oil change and fluid service includes a multi-point inspection—we’ll check belts, hoses, filters, tire pressure, battery, lights, and more. We’ll report any upcoming maintenance so you can stay ahead of problems.

Does changing fluids really make a difference in vehicle lifespan?Mike's Auto Service2025-10-31T03:59:26-04:00

Does changing fluids really make a difference in vehicle lifespan?

Yes. Old or degraded fluids lose their ability to protect internal parts, which can lead to overheating, increased wear, and costly failures. Regular fluid service keeps your vehicle running efficiently and reliably.

What type of oil do you use? Synthetic or conventional?Mike's Auto Service2025-10-31T03:59:08-04:00

What type of oil do you use? Synthetic or conventional?

We offer both high-quality full synthetic and premium conventional oils. We’ll install the proper grade and viscosity your manufacturer calls for, and we’ll let you know when synthetic is the best long-term value.

Do I need to replace all the fluids at once?Mike's Auto Service2025-10-31T03:58:45-04:00

Do I need to replace all the fluids at once?

Not necessarily. It depends on each vehicle’s condition and mileage. We’ll inspect all critical fluids and recommend replacements based on wear, contamination, or manufacturer schedules—so you only replace what’s needed

How often should I change my oil and filter?Mike's Auto Service2025-10-31T03:58:12-04:00

How often should I change my oil and filter?

Most modern vehicles go 5,000-7,500 miles or six months under normal driving with high-quality synthetic oil. Severe conditions (frequent idling, short trips, heavy loads) may require every 3,000-5,000 miles. We advise check-ups at each interval to decide.
