oilchangeInformation

The Pitstop isn't just your corner quick-lube shop. With our highly trained staff of professionals, we can perform transmission, radiator, brake and power steering services as recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Full Service Oil Change

Full Service inlcudes; oil change, coolant check, air filter check, power steering fluid check, brake fluid check, transfer case and differential check, transmission fluid check, washer fluid filled, tire presure check, front compartment vacuumed, and windshield washed.

Full Service oil change starting at $54.95 (for first 5 quarts)

Basic Oil and Filter

Oil and filter includes; oil change,air filter check, inspection of belts and coolant check

Oil and filter start at $42.95 (for first 5 quarts)

Transmission Flush

As oil viscocity breaks down the fluid gets burnt and dirty, causing mechanical parts to wear down progressively faster. For example; bearings, gears in the transmission, etc. This constants friction without renewed fluid will lead to the breakdown of moving parts and seals, which leads to less fuel economy, and costly repairs.

Transmission Flushes start at $119.95 (for most vehicles)

Radiator Flush

As glycol (the active ingredient in antifreeze) gets older, the process of electrolysis begins. This causes the breakdown of gaskets as well as the accumulation of debris from decomposing hoses, that float and settle in the radiator and cooling components. The restriced flow causes overheating and the improper operation of the engine and cooling system. As this process progresses the radiator will become less and less efficient using a smaller and smaller percentage of itself, and this inefficiency will cause a decrease in fuel economy, as well as avoidable repair costs. The flushing of the radiator will prolong the life and considerably reduce premature replacement.

Radiator Flushes start at $109.95 (for most vehicles)

Fuel Filters

All fuel contains sediments that are caught in the fuel filter. These filters allow proper fuel flow from the tank to the engine, however when the filters become clogged, fuel is rsetricted to the engine and decreases the vehicle's fuel economyand horsepower .

Fuel Filters start at $65.95 (for most vehicles)

Power Steering Flushs

The fluid in the lines lubricates the moving parts in the steering. Periodically, (generally 30K) this fluid needs to be changed to prolong the life in the steering rack and power steering pump.

Power Steering Flushes starting at $99.95 (for most vehicles)

Brake Flushs

As the brakes are used day to day the fluid in the lines becomes hot and reduces the hydrolic capacity. This reduction causes a lack in stopping efficiency and can become a safety hazzard as time goes on.

Brake flushes start at $99.95 (for most vehicles)

Transfer Case and Differentials

Like the transmission the transer case and differentials have many mechanical parts constantly moving and turn. As the fluid viscocity breaks down from wear and tear the fluid gets dirty breaking down the internal bearing and gears. The flushing of fluid allow the gears and bearings to flow freely prolonging the life and preventing replacement of any internal parts. This free flow also provides more efficient fuel economy.

Transfer Case and Differentials starting at $39.95 (for most vehicles)

 

Other Light Mechanical

We also offer services including; brakes, tune-ups, induction cleaning and all 30,000, 60,000, 90,000, and 120,000 mile services.
