Problem:
Over time, deposits form in the oil and fuel injectors and combustion chambers.

- BG MOA®, a premium engine oil additive with deposit inhibitors

Performance Oil Change Service
Problem:
High engine temperatures from heavy stop-and-go driving cause thermal breakdown of engine oil. Not all oil is removed during a simple oil change, leaving behind deposits that form sludge and varnish in the engine, causing exhaust smoke and increased oil consumption.

Fresh oil and filter are installed, along with BG MOA® to fortify the new oil for optimal performance and engine protection. This results in improved engine compression, increased pow
BG Transmission Service
Problem:
Deposits build up on intake valves, injectors, ports, fuel injectors, and combustion chambers, causing power loss, rough idle, hesitation, misfire, pinging, knocking, reduced mileage, and difficulty starting. After 30,000 miles, transmission fluid begins to age, turning brown and oxidizing due to time and heat. Deposits form around transmission parts, resulting in sticking valves, slipping gears, or sluggish shifting.
Solution:
Rather than just draining the fluid from the bottom of the pan, the entire transmission is cleaned, and special equipment is used to remove all old contaminated fluid. New fluid and premium conditioners are added. This ensures smoother and more effortless shifting for many trouble-free miles.
Benefits:
- Deposit prevention
- Smooth operating transmission
- Extended fluid life

After a full inspection for leaks and wear, our technicians will measure and replenish the oil in the compressor. The air in your vehicle will be cleaner and 4 to 5 degrees cooler, thanks to improved efficiency.
