Your car's ability to reliably transport you to your destination every day is dependent on the smooth operation of its engine and its connected components. The engine oil in your car is essential for this to happen. As a result, you must ensure that your car's engine oil is clean in order for it to run efficiently. This requires regular auto oil change service from an experienced service provider such as Autoworks Service and Repair. As a car owner, incorporating regular auto oil changes into your preventative maintenance routine is one of the cheapest and simplest ways to extend the life of your engine. However, questions such as what type of oil to use and when to change the oil may be perplexing to you. A professional oil change service is described in detail below.
A professional oil change is the best place to start if you want to help your engine perform at its best. Autoworks Service and Repair in Prescott Valley is a full-service auto repair shop that offers excellent oil changes and unbeatable customer service.
Your engine depends on clean, fresh oil to run properly. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and particles from your engine. This reduces its ability to lubricate the engine’s moving parts. When oil isn't changed on time, it can lead to costly repairs and impact your gas mileage.
Regular oil changes help extend the life of your engine and keep your vehicle safe and reliable. They also give our team the opportunity to spot other maintenance needs, such as a filter change, fluid check, or tire rotation.
The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors, including your vehicle's make and model, your driving style, and the type of oil used. To be safe, experts recommend changing the oil every 3,000 miles or three months. However, you can change the oil as needed or as recommended by the car manufacturer. Newer vehicles equipped with synthetic oil, for instance, may have longer intervals between oil changes. Our team can help you determine the ideal oil change schedule for your car based on manufacturer recommendations and your driving habits.
An oil change is essential to keep your vehicle’s engine running smoothly. This entails injecting new, clean oil into the engine. But do you know what happens during a professional oil change service?
More importantly, whether you choose a full synthetic or conventional oil change, our service remains the same. The only difference is the type of oil you use. Here’s what you can expect from a full-service oil change at Autoworks Service and Repair:
First, our highly trained and certified technicians will inspect the oil level and condition of your engine. This is required because it assists our technicians in determining the condition of the other components. If the oil level is low, it may indicate that you have oil leaks that need to be repaired.
Following that, our technicians will lift your vehicle to gain access to the oil drain plug and oil pan at the engine’s bottom. The drain plug will then be removed, allowing all of the old oil to drain from the engine. The used oil is then recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
The oil filter in your vehicle will not last forever. Furthermore, experts advise changing the filters whenever you change the oil. This prevents impurities from the old oil from entering the new oil. As a result, after draining the old oil from your engine, the filter will be removed and properly disposed of.
The technician will then place the oil pan and drain plug in their proper locations. This is done after inspecting all of the components near the oil filter for cleanliness. Our technicians will also prime the new filter with new oil, lubricate the new gasket, and install the new filter.
Fill the engine with new oil after installing the new filter. The amount of oil our technicians put into the engine is determined by the type of engine or car. Depending on the capacity, approximately five quarts of new oil may be poured into your engine.
After installing the new filter and oil, our expert technicians will lubricate the car’s chassis components that frequently rub together. This is especially important for components involved in steering and controlling the vehicle, as well as those near the tires. This is critical in preventing premature wear and tear on the components caused by excessive friction.
After all of the components have been lubricated, our highly trained and meticulous technicians will perform a multi-point car inspection, including a brake inspection. This allows the technicians to detect and repair any other problems that may exist in your vehicle before they become larger problems. This is also an excellent time to replenish your vehicle’s fluids.

These guys are the most reliable and fair priced mechanics that I’ve found locally. I have a high dollar Porsche SUV and usually get ripped off. Not at Autoworks! Plus, they’re fast and thorough.

Autoworks squeezed in my jeep on an emergency as we were traveling. Not only did they get the work done, they stood behind their repairs when a glitch came up. They are wonderful, considerate and reputable.
