Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are critical to your vehicle's wellbeing and longevity, no matter what you drive. When oil breaks down over time, it becomes less effective as a lubricant, which means parts of your engine will rub together and wear out, potentially leading to the need for expensive repairs. As your car ages, routine oil changes become even more important to prevent loss of performance and efficiency. When you call Newman's Automotive for an oil change, we promise to make it as quick and convenient as possible.

Tune-Ups
When your car or truck is properly tuned, the computer system, fuel system, ignition system, and emission system are all working together in perfect harmony. When they are not, your vehicle needs a tune-up. As part of a tune-up with Newman's Automotive, we'll check (and replace if necessary) your spark plugs, ignition coils, distributor cap and rotor, and ignition wires. When we're done, you'll enjoy better vehicle performance, and likely save money at the gas pump.
