Can anyone recommend a place to get an oil change & tune-up? Would prefer Wildwood or Leesburg but great work would trump traveling outside the these areas.

Have to say I cannot remember the last time I had a tuneup on any of our vehicles. Plenty of oil changes but tuneups seem to be a thing of the past.

I watch for a sale at Walmart on the oil/filter I want.
Then when my oil needs changing, I'll take it to Walmart's auto dept. and have them change the oil. Except for tires or battery, I'll go to a dealership for advice. Follow your manual for extensive high mileage maintenance. |

Wildwood Tire! Usually quick in and out. Easy to get to near the intersection of 44 and 301. Great service.

Spark plugs usually last 100,000 MI with newer cars in the last 10 or 15 years, I wouldn't let them touch my motor unless your car has more miles than that or you have a real rough sound or leaking water pump. Don't forget your air filter which you should probably be able to do yourself and buy the part in any of the auto stores around here

And don't be shocked if a tune-up is 300 to $500 because the dealers are getting a hundred and a quarter per hour minimum for service for labor

I changed a lot of oil and oil filters as a kid when I worked part time in a garage...(back then we usually did a lube job too)
Now I take the vehicle back to the dealership for that Nothing against the "Jiffy Lube" type businesses, or the small shops that are out there, but I like that the dealership will do a full inspection...I'd rather get a call that 'such and such' needs to be done, vs. having a problem on the road. It gives me a little more piece of mind that I might avoid a problem when I'm traveling out of state |
