Transparent prices for oil changes

Oil change prices

Why do most mechanics and dealers hide the cost of their services? You might be wondering if they will try to take advantage of your visit and overcharge for their services. Or perhaps they think their oil changes are so expensive that displaying the cost of their service will deter customers from visiting the store. At Chapel Hill Tire, we value our customers, which is why we charge transparent prices for all of our services. Here's everything you need to know about the actual cost of an oil change. 

What does an oil change include?

One of the most common car maintenance services, and perhaps the most important for protecting your engine, is oil change. This product keeps your engine lubricated so it can run without harmful friction. Over time, your oil fills up with debris, making it less effective at providing adequate protection to your engine. Your oil level also depletes when your engine burns off its oil supply. This is where the oil change comes in. Not only do you need to supply your car with oil, but you also need to remove the old oil and replace the filter, which prevents harmful debris from entering the engine. If you partner with an outstanding oil change expert, you will also receive scheduled vehicle inspections included in the cost of the oil change. On average, you need to change the oil every 3,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes will protect your vehicle and prevent costly engine damage. 

How much does an oil change really cost?

Every mechanic must set prices for oil changes so that the business stays open. However, you want to make sure that this number does not take advantage of your visit. Here's how much an oil change actually costs your mechanic:

• Oil costsA: Perhaps the most obvious expense, a mechanic will pay for several gallons of oil to fill your reserve. There are several different types of oil that vary in thickness, which can affect the cost of an oil change. If you look at the oil filler cap, it will tell you what type of oil your engine needs. 
• Labor cost: This is where you pay for years of experience and professional assistance from your oil change specialist. You will also appreciate the convenience of having a specialist take care of your vehicle. 
• Filter cost: Your oil filter protects your engine from contaminants. These contaminants can wear out on your filter over time, which is why you need regular filter replacements. The cost of your filter may vary slightly depending on the make, model, trim and year of your vehicle. 
• Recycling the cost of used oil: Part of the hassle of changing oil at home comes from disposing of old, dirty, and contaminated oil. An experienced mechanic has the resources and an established process for the ethical disposal of used oil. 

Collectively, the amount you pay will reflect the cost of an oil change for your mechanic. Even with all these offers, oil changes are often reasonably priced—usually $40 to $70. You may also find oil change coupons to help offset the cost of this service.
