Why Does an Oil Change Take About an Hour at Jim Brangham Auto Repair?
If you've ever had an oil change at Jim Brangham Auto Repair in Cathedral City, you may have noticed it takes a little longer than a quick lube shop. That's because we do much more than just drain the oil and install a new filter.
We are a full-service auto repair shop, not a drive-through oil change center. Our goal is to help keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and ready for the road.
Every Oil Change Includes a Digital Vehicle Inspection
When your vehicle is in our shop, our ASE-certified technicians perform a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI). This means we look over many of the important parts of your vehicle, including:
- Tires and tire wear
- Brakes
- Steering and suspension
- Belts and hoses
- Fluid levels and condition
- Battery condition
- Lights and wiper blades
- Visible leaks under the vehicle
We also take photos of anything that needs your attention so you can see exactly what we see.
Why Is This Important?
Many expensive repairs start as small problems. A leaking hose, worn brake pads, or low fluid may not cause any symptoms today, but they can turn into a breakdown or costly repair later. Finding these issues early can save you money and help you avoid getting stranded.
Quality Takes Time
A quick oil change in 10 or 15 minutes may sound convenient, but there usually isn't enough time to thoroughly inspect your vehicle. At Jim Brangham Auto Repair, we believe your vehicle deserves more than a fast oil change. We take the time to perform the service correctly, inspect your vehicle carefully, and give you the information you need to make smart maintenance decisions. That extra time helps us protect your investment and gives you greater peace of mind every time you drive.
