Oil keeps your engine lubricated, which helps to prevent friction and wear and tear. However, over time, your vehicle’s oil can become contaminated, which leads to decreased performance and potential damage to your engine. By scheduling regular oil changes with Ralph's Auto Repair Shop, Inc., you help to ensure that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently, which saves you money on costly repairs in the future.
