Getting a free oil change on your car at the dealer might sound like a really good deal at first

Getting a free oil change on your car at the dealer might sound like a really good deal at first. Free sounds good! But it is important to consider the problems with this free offer.

One of the biggest problems of getting a free oil change at the dealer is that they usually don't inspect your car for other issues. While changing the oil is part of regular maintenance, it's not the only thing that needs to be checked. Without a full inspection, you could be missing out on important information about anything else that will be coming up with your car or truck.

When you take your car to the dealer for an oil change, the mechanics may just change the oil. They might not look for other issues like worn brake pads, a leaky radiator, or a dying battery. Without a good inspection, these problems can be missed and lead to bigger and more expensive repairs down the road. You don’t want to be stranded on the road somewhere. 

An independent auto repair shop such as Platt’s Performance though, does a full inspection service when it does its oil changes. It would include a full inspection with every oil change. We use Factory diagnostic tools only. This will give you peace of mind, knowing that your car is being checked for any possible issues. It will help catch any small problems before they turn into major problems, saving you time and money in the long run.
