Keeping your vehicle properly maintained with routine oil changes helps extend its life and keeps it running smoothly. Use our easy online scheduler to book your next oil change appointment at our Muskegon dealership.

Old oil can cause issues with your engine. You need fresh, clean oil at regular intervals to ensure the proper lubrication of your car's moving parts and to remove any debris that can cause damage. Our team is eager to get your car in for an oil change to maintain its performance.

Is it Time for an Oil Change?

Not sure when your vehicle is due for its next oil change? As a general rule, most vehicles need an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 3-6 months, whichever comes first. More modern cars can go even longer between oil changes. Check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval for your specific make and model. Our service advisors can also let you know if you're due based on your driving habits and the type of oil used.

It only takes a few minutes to schedule your oil change appointment. We'll send you a confirmation email with the date and time of your scheduled service.

And trust us, our alternative fuel inventory is a "watt" of fun (oh yeah, we're letting the puns fly on this one!). Dual Power Sources, Longer Uninterrupted Traveling When one power source is out, there's another one to pick up the slack. That's one of the benefits that a hybrid or plug-in hybrid brings to your commute. And if you don't know the difference between the two, here's a quick explanation. Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV) These models have a larger battery as the main power source and a gas powered engine as a backup supply. These models require "plugging in" for your vehicle's battery to get replenished. Oh, and here's a pro tip—your plug-in hybrid WILL NOT start if it only has battery power. But, it WILL start if it only has gas power. Hybrids Known as traditional hybrids, these models operate with a larger gas engine as the main power source. And a smaller battery as a backup supply. Your battery recharges itself during regenerative braking—a process that recharges your battery when brakes are used. And your battery is only used during low speed traveling.
