Air Filter Replacement

Service Time Approximately 5-10 +/- Minutes

A dirty air filter will rob power, increase the likelihood of damaging particles entering your engine and decrease fuel economy. Stop on in and have your air filter changed while you wait.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 30-75 +/- Minutes

Dirty automatic transmission fluid will create slipping and could lead to premature failure. Along with the fluid change, a new filter will be installed (if/when applicable). A transmission fluid and filter change can be performed while you wait, so stop on by!

Battery Testing & Replacement

Service Time Approximately 15-30 +/- Minutes

Protect yourself from an inconvenient situation with our battery testing and replacement services. We will perform a voltage test and a load test to determine if the battery is in good condition, and resolve any problem with our solution!

Brake Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 35-40 +/- Minutes

Brake fluid by nature tends to suck up moisture and other contaminants, which could lead to brake system failure. We will change your brake fluid and bleed your brakes while you wait!

Cabin Filter Replacement

Service Time Approximately 5-10 +/- Minutes

A dirty cabin filter can reduce the effectiveness of your heater and A/C, not to mention allow contaminants into the passenger compartment. Stop by today and we will change your cabin filter while you wait.

Coolant/Radiator Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 35-40 +/- Minutes

An engine coolant system will eventually build up scale in the passages. A flush and fill is generally recommended by the vehicle manufacturer and is part of a well rounded maintenance plan.

Differential Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 15-30 +/- Minutes

Your differential oil lubricates the ring and pinion gears that transfer power from the driveshaft to the wheel axles. Making sure this fluid is properly maintained will extend the life of your four-wheel drive vehicles, pickup trucks and SUVs.

Fuel Filter Replacement

Service Time Approximately 15-30 +/- Minutes

A dirty fuel filter can send contaminants to your fuel system and damage critical components. We will change your fuel filter while you wait and get your system cleaned- ready for the road!

Fuel Injection Cleaning

Service Time Approximately 35-65 +/- Minutes

Fuel injectors have extremely tight tolerances and can be subject to a buildup of carbon and other contaminants. A fuel injection service will help restore fuel mileage, performance and starting.

Gearbox Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 15-30 +/- Minutes

It is important to maintain clean fluid in your gearboxes as they are subject to a large number of forces. We can change your gearbox oil while you wait in most cases. Stop by today!

Light Bulb Replacement

Headlight or turn signal out? That’s a quick fix! Swing in to one of our convenient locations and let one of our LOF-Xpress technicians do a quick replacement!

Manual Transmission Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 30-75 +/- Minutes

Unlike an automatic transmission, a manual transmission is a tightly meshed conglomeration of rotating gears and moving collars. Clean fluid is critical to the smooth operation of the manual transmission, and we can change yours while you wait.

PCV Valve Replacement

Service Time Approximately 5-10 +/- Minutes

A PCV valve is designed to let gases vent from the engine but will not allow outside air back in order to keep your vehicle running. Your owner’s manual will outline the replacement recommendations for the PCV valve. Stop by and we can replace it while you wait today!

Power Steering Fluid Replacement

Service Time Approximately 20-30 +/- Minutes

Dirty power steering fluid could cause decreased steering function and a breakdown of internal components. We can replace your power steering fluid while you wait.

Serpentine Belt Replacement

Service Time Approximately 15-45 +/- Minutes

Your serpentine belt is critical to engine operation; if your belt breaks, you are stranded. This is why it is essential to have your serpentine belt inspected and replaced if any signs of wear are detected. Stop by today!

Spark Plug Replacement

Service Time Approximately 5-15 +/- Minutes

Your engine relies on spark as a critical component to combustion. Dirty or corroded spark plugs can cause all sorts of problems, and generally, the vehicle manufacturer lists guidelines for replacement. Come see us for spark plug replacement.

Tire Rotation

Service Time Approximately 10-15 +/- Minutes

Your tires are the last point of contact between your vehicle and the road, keep them in the best possible condition through regular rotations. Stop by and see us about having your tires rotated.

Wiper Blade Replacement

Your wiper blades should be replaced every six months to a year or as soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility. When wiper blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface, they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak, reducing visibility.
