What Do You Get With a $74.95 Full Synthetic Oil Change in Fresno?
Oil change prices have climbed considerably in the last few years. At Fresno Tire Co., owner Bryan Montalbano has tried to keep a basic maintenance visit affordable without turning it into a bare-bones service.
Fresno Tire Co. kept its full synthetic oil change at $69.95 from 2019 until recently. The current price is $74.95 for up to five quarts of full synthetic oil.
But Bryan says the bigger difference is what happens while the vehicle is in the shop.
More Than Draining and Refilling the Oil
Every oil change includes a 25-point digital vehicle inspection.
Instead of simply changing the oil and sending the vehicle on its way, the team checks key areas of the vehicle and documents what they find digitally. That inspection can then be sent directly to the customer.
The goal isn’t to create a list of repairs for the sake of selling more work. It’s to give the vehicle owner useful information about the condition of the car.
- A digital inspection can help answer questions such as:
- Are the tires wearing normally?
- Are there visible fluid leaks?
- Do belts, hoses, brakes, or other inspected components show signs that they need attention?
- Is there anything the driver should plan for in the months ahead?
It gives customers a clearer picture of their vehicle instead of asking them to take someone’s word for it.
We Also Look at Your Maintenance History
Mileage matters too.
If a vehicle comes in with 65,000 miles, for example, the Fresno Tire Co. team may look at the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations and ask whether earlier scheduled services were completed.
If something was missed, the customer can decide whether it makes sense to catch up now or plan for it later.
That’s an important distinction. An oil change shouldn’t automatically turn into a long list of work. It should give you an opportunity to keep tabs on your vehicle and make informed decisions.
An Independent Approach to Routine Maintenance
Fresno Tire Co. has served Fresno since 2001 and is still an independent local shop.
For Bryan, an oil change is less about getting a vehicle through the bay as quickly as possible and more about doing the service correctly, checking the vehicle carefully, and being straightforward about what the customer actually needs.
If you’re looking for a full synthetic oil change in Fresno, Fresno Tire Co. offers routine maintenance backed by the same inspection process it uses for its broader automotive repair work.
Schedule an oil change and get more than a new filter and fresh oil—you’ll also get a clearer look at how your vehicle is doing.
