Come to us for your Lube, Oil & Filter Service every three months/3,000 miles and your Comprehensive Vehicle Evaluation once a year. Then, when your vehicle is due for a specific maintenance service, we will tell you. We make preventative maintenance convenient and affordable.

What Does Preventative Maintenance Do for You?
Saves Money
Over the life of your vehicle, the cost of preventative service is far less than the cost of repairing systems that breakdown without proper maintenance.
Avoid Expensive Surprises
Schedule small expenditures to help avoid sudden and expensive repairs.
Better Resale Value
Well maintained vehicles are worth more. Buyers value your computerized vehicle maintenance history showing proper maintenance.
Peace-of-Mind
Feel confident knowing your vehicle is properly maintained and regularly inspected by an expert.
Your Vehicle is One of Your Greatest Investments
You want your vehicle to provide years of reliable service and retain its value. The best way to ensure it will continue to take good care of you is to take good care of it.
You know that regular oil changes lengthen the life of your engine. You understand the financial benefits of investing small amounts in our Lube, Oil & Filter Service regularly: it helps you avoid the ordeal and expense of replacing your engine. Your engine is only one component in a complex system. Other systems also require periodic service to ensure that your vehicle continues to perform for you.
How Do You Care for All Your Vehicle’s Needs?
We make it simple. Our Lube, Oil & Filter Service is much more than an oil change: we include all the Monthly & Three Month/3,000 Mile items on the checklist. Our Comprehensive Vehicle Evaluation goes far beyond the typical inspection: we check all the major operating systems of your vehicle such as brakes, transmission, lights, belts, cooling system, and hoses. Then, when your vehicle is due for something like a Coolant Flush or a Transmission Service, we will tell you. It’s that simple.
Why is it Important to Have One Shop Manage All Your Service Needs?
As you’ll see, there are a lot of service items to keep track of. If you have one place change your oil, another do your brakes and yet another perform your transmission service, you don't have anyone overseeing the overall maintenance of your vehicle. Important items get missed!
It happens all too often: something big goes wrong that could have been prevented and the customer asks "Why didn't anyone tell me I needed to do this?" Because that person did not have anyone specifically responsible for overseeing all the vehicle's maintenance needs. We do not want this to happen to you. It will cost you more time, more frustration and more money if something big goes wrong. We want to help you avoid that. You know you can rely on us to manage your vehicle's service needs: you receive our Vehicle Maintenance Evaluation every time we service your vehicle. You want your vehicle to perform reliably--service it with D&D Automotive Services.
