We have a 2014 Subaru, Forester. This was purchased in Tucson, and we only recently moved to Mesa. Since going to Green Light Garage, our car is operating very well. If any problem should develop, our car is able to be seen quickly, and the problem always resolved. There haven't been many places in the past where I've felt comfortable saying, go ahead and fix whatever is not working. This is one of those places.

Part of maintaining your vehicle is keeping its safety devices in good working order, especially when there are kids in the car.

At Green Light Garage in Mesa, AZ, we recommend always making it a priority to change your oil on time. Here’s a look into why it’s so important, and what happens if you don’t keep up with oil changes.

Sludge - If oil stays in an engine too long, sludge begins to build up anywhere oil can go. The oil absorbs tiny debris and contaminants, kind of like a liquid sponge - once it’s at capacity, that oil begins to stick, clog, and build up throughout the engine. Small veins that carry oil to components like actuators, turbos, and bearings will become blocked, starving critical components of oil and causing component or engine failure.

The best way to keep your car out of the repair facility with major repair problems is to follow a basic vehicle care maintenance schedule. It is recommended that you make general visual inspections and stay on top of vehicle maintenance items. The skilled automotive technicians at Green Light Garage in Mesa, AZ can assist with basic vehicle maintenance and more complex repairs. Feel free to give us a call or come by at your convenience if you have any questions.
