When you schedule your oil change at Rick’s the staff will drain your old oil, replace it with fresh oil and then even change your oil filter.

  Your muffler is the part of your vehicle that reduces the noise of the engine. However it also helps reduce engine emissions from going into the environment. In addition, mufflers keep them from entering our vehicle’s cabin. Often mufflers rust or vibrate loose from their clamps. In addition they may become loud and inefficient which can lead to decreased fuel efficiency. Having a routine muffler inspection performed is always a good idea before minor muffler issues turn into major exhaust system problems. If you notice signs of muffler issues, vibration from under your vehicle, smoke from your vehicle’s exhaust pipes or unusually strong odors, it’s always a good idea to have your vehicle inspected by professionals to minimize the damage to the environment, to your health and to your vehicle. One of the best ways to do that is schedule an appointment with Rick’s Auto Service Center.
