How long does it take for an oil change?

• An oil change is an essential part of routine vehicle maintenance, but thankfully, it’s not really a time-consuming one. 

• Generally speaking from the start of your service, you can expect your oil change to be completed within 30-45 minutes that includes a 23 point inspection, while a full service oil change inspection package takes roughly 45-60 minutes with a tire rotation included.

How much should an oil change cost?

Typically, an oil and filter change using conventional oil will cost between $35 and $75, depending on your area. If your car requires synthetic oil, you should expect to pay more (anywhere from $65 to $125) but you make up some of the cost, since synthetic oil lasts longer and has to be changed less frequently.

When does my car need an oil change?

• The short answer is, before sludge starts forming. The timing can really vary depending on the vehicle you’re driving, the conditions in which you’re driving, and how you drive. 

• Look to your vehicle owner’s manual for a recommendation from the manufacturer, or bring your car into Meineke for a recommendation from one of their service professionals.

What is included in an oil change?

At Meineke, each oil change package comes with an array of routine maintenance services, well beyond the oil change itself. In addition to changing the oil and filters, they offer a tire pressure check, a fluid top-off, a free tire rotation, visual brake checks, and a 23-point inspection for your vehicle.

What type of oil does my car need?

• There is much misunderstanding about the difference between conventional and synthetic oil, as well as choosing the right oil grade (for example, 10W-30, SAE 5W-40, etc.) 

• The best way to determine what type of oil to use in your car is to check the manufacturer’s guide, where you’ll find a recommendation based on rigorous manufacturer testing. You can also bring your vehicle to Meineke to get a recommendation from one of their service professionals

How much does a tire alignment cost?

• Alignment is the process of adjusting the suspension of your vehicle; while it’s sometimes called a tire or wheel alignment, it’s actually an alignment of the system that connects those wheels to the rest of the car. 

• This is an important preventative maintenance step, and the cost can vary depending on the vehicle you’re driving. Reach out to Meineke to schedule an appointment and get a specific quote for your vehicle.
