An oil change is one of the simplest and most essential maintenance services you can get for your car. But at Old Ox Tire & Auto, we don’t just swap out your oil and call it a day—we take the time to give your vehicle a free health inspection to ensure everything is running smoothly.
When you visit any of our Sterling, Arlington, Alexandria, or Washington, DC locations for an oil change, you get so much more than just fresh oil. Let’s break down exactly what’s included and why our complimentary multi-point inspection is crucial for keeping your car in top condition.
What’s Included in Your Oil Change?
At Old Ox Tire & Auto, our oil changes are done right—fast, efficient, and professional. Here’s what you can expect at each of our four locations:
✅ Drain & replace engine oil – We remove the old, dirty oil and replace it with high-quality oil suited for your vehicle.
✅ Install a new oil filter – A fresh oil filter ensures contaminants don’t circulate in your engine, keeping things running smoothly.
✅ Check & tighten components – We ensure everything is properly sealed, tightened, and secure before you hit the road.
But we don’t stop there—because maintaining your car isn’t just about changing the oil. It’s about keeping every part of your vehicle in peak condition. That’s where our free health check comes in.
Why Our Free Health Check Matters
Catching Small Problems Before They Become Big Repairs
Your car is made up of many interconnected systems, and a minor issue in one area can lead to expensive repairs if ignored. Our free vehicle health inspection helps identify small concerns before they turn into major headaches.
🔹 Example: A clogged engine air filter might not seem urgent, but it can reduce fuel efficiency, weaken engine performance, and put extra strain on your vehicle. By catching it early, we help prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems down the road.
Boosting Safety on the Road
Your safety is our top priority. That’s why our inspection includes key safety components like:
- Tires – Checking tread wear and air pressure to ensure proper traction and stability.
- Brakes & Lights – Functional brake lights, headlights, and turn signals keep you visible and prevent accidents.
- Suspension & Steering – Worn or loose components can affect handling, making your car harder to control.
