Yes. Sticking to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule — including oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, and routine inspections — helps prevent costly breakdowns and keeps your car running smoothly and safely.

Oil change intervals depend on your vehicle model, driving habits, and manufacturer recommendations. We’ll check your vehicle’s needs and help you plan the best schedule to protect your engine and extend its life.

A check engine light can mean many different issues — from minor sensor alerts to more serious engine, emissions, or system concerns. Don’t ignore it. Bring your vehicle in so our technicians can run a full diagnostic, determine what’s causing the light, and recommend the appropriate repair.

Squeaking, grinding, or unusual braking noises typically indicate worn brake pads or related components. Bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection so we can assess the situation and make the necessary repairs to keep you safe on the road.

Repair pricing can vary due to differences in labor rates, parts quality, and the depth of diagnostic testing performed. At Fuerst Automotive, we believe in fair and transparent pricing so you always know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

Repair times vary depending on the type of service:

• Routine maintenance and inspections are often completed the same day
