Yes. Regular maintenance—oil changes, filters, inspections, fluid flushes—helps prevent breakdowns, improves performance, and extends your car’s life. In a climate like San Antonio’s, staying current is especially important.

Most modern vehicles benefit from an oil change every 5,000–7,500 miles, but this can vary depending on vehicle, driving habits, and conditions. At My C.A.R. Center, we’ll check your manufacturer’s guidelines and recommend the best interval.

The check engine light can indicate many things: from a loose gas cap to sensor faults or engine/emissions issues. Our advanced diagnostic equipment quickly reads trouble codes, isolates the problem, and helps you decide the right repair.

Don’t ignore it.

• Squeaking often indicates that the brake pads are thinning.
• Grinding usually means the pads are gone and metal is contacting rotors.

Both are safety concerns. Bring your vehicle in, and our brake team will evaluate and repair the issue.

Differences come from labor rates, parts quality, diagnostic time, and warranty offerings. At My C.A.R. Center, we aim for fair, transparent pricing—you’ll always know what you’re paying for and why.

It depends on the job:

• Routine services (oil, brakes, inspections): often same-day
• Diagnostics or moderate repairs: varies by complexity
• Major engine or transmission work: may take more time, especially if parts must be sourced

We’ll always give you an upfront time estimate and keep you updated if anything changes.

Yes. We back all parts and labor with a reliable warranty—so you can drive away with confidence.
