An oil change service is draining old, used engine oil from a vehicle into a pan and replacing it with fresh, clean oil and a new oil filter.
Like most lubricating and cooling fluids that keep vehicles running, engine oil needs to be changed at some point. Metal particles and debris from engine parts gradually darken and thicken the oil, reducing its effectiveness. Oil filters are small, replaceable parts designed to remove this debris but have a limited lifespan. When changing your oil, you should also replace the filter.
Oil changes are important to enhance the efficiency of a vehicle.
An oil change is essential as it enhances the overall efficiency and performance of a car, truck, or van. Here’s why you need an oil change service on a regular basis:
Changing the oil in your car is usually a quick and painless procedure when performed at a modernized automotive service centre. Lubricating oil in your vehicle is important to its well-being. Here are some of the core warning signs that you are overdue.
The engine oil that runs through the engine is critical to keeping it running smoothly, efficiently, and safely. It accomplishes this in four major ways:
Reducing friction and preventing excessive wear: The oil forms a layer of lubricating protection over all of the engine’s sensitive components. This reduces friction and prevents metal-on-metal contact between the moving parts.
Cleanliness: The motor oil picks up dirt, debris, and combustion deposits as it circulates through the engine, preventing them from accumulating and causing negative blockages. The oil renders these things harmless until your next oil change when the dirty oil is removed.
Excess heat removal: As your engine runs, it generates a lot of heat. The motor oil safely absorbs the excess heat, redistributes it throughout the engine, and aids in the prevention of overheating.
Now you know how critical an oil change is to your engine. Other than the fact that new oil is put in, do you know exactly what an oil change service entails?
Here is exactly what your technician will do during a full-service oil change:

Appreciated the flexibility and communication. Overnight drop off helped, and the texted report post inspection with follow up phone conversation helped me sort through options. Clearly the desk staff are knowledgeable and care, and the mechanic did thorough work.

Wonderful experience, the girls at the front desk are patient and kind. The service was done well, on time. We pre-booked the snow tire removal and switchover for the spring. The owner is very friendly and kind and the courtesy service was super helpful on a busy day. Would absolutely recommend for anyone!

The staff is very knowledgeable and understands my needs. When working on the car they informed me of other issues that needed to be done and gave me an estimate of the additional cost before proceeding with the work. I am satisfied with their work. Bob Skeoch

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently brought my vehicle to True Auto Care Fergus for a safety inspection and some service, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team did a very thorough job and gave me a full, detailed report with pictures of everything they found. That level of transparency really builds TRUST, and it made me feel confident in the work being done. The service was professional and done right, and I especially want to thank Emily at the front desk. She was welcoming, friendly, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process stress-free. I'm(KK) very satisfied with the work. Special shout-out to Mr. Skyler, the tech who worked on my car — he did a fantastic job, and now my auto is fully safe to drive and meets the new MTO digital safety standards. It’s not every day you walk out of an auto shop actually feeling good about the experience — but that’s exactly what happened here. True Auto Care definitely earned my respect and my recommendation. If you’re in Fergus Ontario or the area and want a shop you can rely on, this is the place to go. – Chevy TrucKK (KK) Lover 💪

Such a great garage to deal with. My car broke down away from home and you guys did a great job getting me back up and going. I can’t say enough about how great my experience was. I even told you that when I was leaving. If you were closer to me I would 100% make you my go to garage. Communication about what was wrong and the repair was outstanding!!

Kerrigan Nealson Aug 8, 2025
Friendly, responsive and timely. My only critique is that I think they could have cleaned the windshield as part of the service and to show off their great work. Otherwise, well done.
Anita Zeitler Aug 8, 2025
Fantastic team! It's unheard of to get a BMW service bill under 3 digits. The team assessed my problem and came back with two options (one being take it to BMW for authentic parts). I chose their simple solution. Appreciated the option offering. Great solution and FANTASTIC cost. They've earned a new repeat customer!

The key to my exceptional service was my direct contact with the "front line staff". I was met with a smile, respect, understanding and gratitude. The work on car has made a noticeable difference in how the care handles on the highway. I also have maintenance suggestions for the future. Very professional ... I will definitely go back in the future!
