How One Automotive Repair Shop Revolutionized Regular Vehicle Maintenance with Subscription-Based Oil Changes
Owning a vehicle means that you will eventually need to change the oil. Regular oil changes are crucial to maintaining the full functionality of your car or truck. Most vehicles, as they age, should also be monitored for deterioration of various components, such as gaskets, hoses, and belts. Over time, even the mechanical systems in a vehicle may need to be repaired or replaced. An annual inspection to look for small issues can help prevent catastrophic failure, and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars in repairs. Maintenance of vehicle components that require cleaning, changing, or any other form of upkeep is critical to extending the life of your car or truck. Most vehicles should receive an annual tune-up to mitigate potential risks, such as poor air-to-fuel ratio when the air filter is dirty, or cleaning or replacing spark plugs as needed. All of these services can add up to be very costly on an annual basis, particularly in combination with high gas prices and auto insurance premiums. The owners of Mike’s Auto Repair wanted to provide these services at an accessible rate, rather than the standard, high up-front cost, and this notion was the basis for the development of an oil change subscription service.
