Simpkins Auto Care Center One Stop Complete Auto Care


Oil is the life blood of your car. Improperly maintained oil can account for premature engine failure such as excessive leaks, overheating, fouling, and smog-related repairs.

At Simpkins Auto Care, we consider your personal driving demands when we change your oil.

We consider whether your oil should be changed every 3,000, 5,000 or 7,000 miles. We consider whether you commute in heavy traffic, drive long distances, drive in stop and go traffic. All of these conditions add up to different driving demands and your oil and filter changes should coincide with these demands.

When you bring your vehicle to Simpkins for an oil change and lube, we offer a free 27-point inspection including:
  1. drive-shaft join boots
