🚨 An Oil Change Isn't a Vehicle Inspection.
There's a difference between getting your oil changed and having your vehicle properly looked over by a repair shop.
This vehicle is a perfect example.
The oil change itself may have been completed, but a loose/worn ball joint wasn't caught. Eventually, that ball joint came apart, and when it did, it caused damage to additional components and left the customer with a much bigger repair bill AND a tow bill.
And there's an even bigger concern: a failed ball joint can result in loss of steering control and a wheel no longer being properly secured to the vehicle. That's not something you want to discover while you're driving down the road.
🛢️ Quick l**e? They're changing your oil.
🔍 A full-service repair shop? We're looking at the vehicle as a whole.
At GLP Automotive, our inspections are designed to help identify problems before they turn into breakdowns, safety concerns, and expensive secondary damage.
Sometimes the most valuable part of an oil change isn't the new oil...it's what we find while we're underneath your vehicle.
Don't wait for a small problem to become the reason you're calling a tow truck. 🚗🔧
