When Do I Need An Oil Change? We all know vehicle maintenance is the key to keeping your car on the road longer, and proper motor oil changes can help keep your engine clean. But if you're not sure when you need to change your oil, or you have questions about oil change services, feel free to call us and ask for the Quick Lube Center. We may ask for your vehicle make, model and mileage to better assist you - we're happy to help!

What Is Included With My Oil Change? For most vehicle models, you will receive a fluid check and top-off, tire pressure check and tread rating, lighting test, filter, and wiper check in addition to your oil change. You will be notified if any of these areas need additional attention. Please ask during your service or call for more details.

How Does The Process Work? Pull up to the doors on the east side of the Quick Lube Center. A technician will greet you and review your vehicle's mileage and record other vehicle diagnostic information. When it's time for service, you will be safely guided into the building, remaining in your vehicle, while the Baum Quick Lube staff completes your maintenance services.

Why Stay In The Vehicle? Staying with the vehicle helps our service team quickly and efficiently consult with you regarding your oil change and maintenance services, as well as air filter and or/wiper condition. You may also be asked to assist from the driver's seat with testing wipers and/or lights, if applicable. This transparent process allows you to easily review all service work being completed. We find many customers enjoy the front-row seat to all the action, but a waiting room is available, if needed. Just inform your technician that you prefer to wait outside the vehicle, and they will take care of the rest.

Ask For A Quick Wash While You're Here! Ask our staff about adding a quick wash while you're in for an oil change. Our professional detail technicians are ready to leave your car sparkling! Add-on services are available, such as interior window washing, interior vacuum & more. See our Automotive Detail Department page for more information. 

Need A Birthday Gift Or Anniversary Gift? If you need a fast gift idea, stop by the Detail/Express Lube Center or main dealership to pick up an oil change gift certificate. You choose the dollar amount and we'll do the rest. You won't find a more practical gift or easy gift for your favorite family member or recent grad!

Always be sure to check your engine oil level regularly, even with an engine OLS.
