Honest Mechanics Work at Our Auto Repair Garage
Have you ever wondered about what happens under the hood of your car while you are getting a tune up or oil change, and you sit in the waiting room? Have you ever driven off the car lot and a few days later found leaking oil? We have heard so many stories from customers who have visited big national oil change auto shops that offer quick lubes and basic oil changes at seeming discounts, only to later find major damage was done to your vehicle.

We Recycle Your Car’s Old Oil
Did you ever wonder what happens to your car’s oil after your oil change? We don't know what everyone else does, but we act in an environmentally responsible way and we recycle all of your car’s used oil. Your car’s oil does NOT go to the landfill. And it is NOT buried underground somewhere. Sump oil, as used car oil is sometimes called is dirty. That is true. But although it is dirty, the used car oil can be cleaned so that contaminants are removed and it can be used again and again. There are many uses for recycled oil.
Imagine that after your car’s oil change, your cars used oil could be used:
To create Asphalt
As industrial burner oil
Re-refined base oil that can be used as a lubricant, hydraulic or transformer oil.
As mould oil that helps release products from their moulds, such as pressed metal products, or concrete.
As Hydraulic oil
An additive in manufactured products
You perhaps never knew the amazing life your car’s oil could have after it helped you and your car drive 6,000 miles!
Commitment to Excellence in Car Repairs and Car Maintenance
Have other auto repair and car maintenance garages ever asked you to buy more stuff for your car? When you just wanted an Oil Change? (everyone raises their hand)
Cabin Filter
Yes, it is true that the cabin filter removes contaminants from air going through the AC and heating unit (HVAC) system before it goes through the fan and interior vents and into your hair and face cooling you off on those hot summer days and keeping you warm on those frozen February nights. The Cabin Air Filter is often located behind and/or under the glove box. Typically there are no tools required to remove and change this filter. We think you should check your car’s owner’s manual for the correct process: this is certainly one job you may want to do yourself. Some models only last 9,000 miles, while others can go 30,000 miles or more.
Air Filters
How long an air filter lasts depends on the design of your car’s intake. Some visible dirt is normal and certainly does not mean it needs to be changed to keep your car running optimally. Like cabin filters, the life of an air filter can vary depending on its design, and range from 10,000 to 30,000 miles.
Windshield Wiper Fluid
Adding windshield wiper fluid is SO EASY. It is MUCH easier than even changing the cabin filter. You can just open the hood, find the cap labeled with a wiper symbol, open it, pour in the fluid, and close the lid. We at Ace are happy to do this for you as a routine fluid check, but it is not a requirement that we do this for you.
Coolant
Like oil and transmission fluid, coolant lasts much longer than it used to, sometimes as long as 150,000 miles or 5 years. Make sure your car actually needs a radiator flush before signing off on one.
Transmission Fluid
Depending on the transmission, the fluid may need to be changed every 60,000 miles, or it could be designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Some new “sealed” transmissions don’t even have a replaceable filter. Do your research before saying yes to a transmission flush. If you have a CVT, it’s extremely important that the correct fluid is used and it’s filled to the right level to prevent overheating. When in doubt, have this service performed by a dealer.
Windshield Wipers
Only buy new standard wiper blades if they don’t move smoothly across the windshield when it’s raining. Switching to winter blades may be a good idea if you live in an area with heavy snow fall because they’re built to resist ice build up. Changing wiper blades is fairly simple, so you may want to do this yourself.

And Our pledge to only provide automotive work to your car that your car actually needs. Only trust professional mechanics who act ethically and are up front and honest with you. It is from years of experience with garages and shops that have not acted in an ethical fashion that Ace Car Car Center was founded.
And, Just How Often Does Oil Need to Be Changed?
Some of those quick changes and lube oil shops will try to push for oil changes every 3,000 miles. What? Are we back in the land of the Flintstones? This is a fairly ancient car shop mentality and is not true for most modern engines. Current and most modern car engines have oil change intervals that range between 5,000 to 15,000 miles. Some also have built in oil sensors that tell you exactly when the car’s oil needs to be changed. But, we also suggest reviewing the recommendations of the manufacturer in your owner’s manual, not the shop. If you need help reviewing your car’s manual we are always glad to assist or pull up the information from online or from our software.
