What We Offer

Our Specialties include:

At Arcola Auto Care, being family-owned-and-operated isn’t just a title—it’s the heart of everything we do. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’re treated like one of our own. We take pride in offering honest, dependable service with a personal touch that’s hard to find these days.

Whether it’s a routine oil change or a complex drivetrain service, you can count on us to treat your vehicle with the same care we’d give our own.

Our Services include:

Oil Changes: Regular oil changes are the heartbeat of vehicle maintenance. At Arcola Auto Care, we use quality oil and filters to keep your engine clean, cool, and running smoothly—helping you avoid costly repairs down the road.
Tire Rotation: To get the most life out of your tires, we recommend regular rotations. This simple service helps ensure even wear, better handling, and improved fuel efficiency.
Tune-Ups: If your car feels sluggish or isn’t performing like it used to, a tune-up can make a big difference. We inspect and replace key components like spark plugs and filters to restore power, improve fuel economy, and keep your engine running its best.
Alignments: A proper alignment keeps your vehicle driving straight and smooth. It also helps prevent uneven tire wear and improves overall safety. If your steering feels off or your tires are wearing unevenly, it’s time for an alignment.
Differential & 4X4 Service: Your differential and 4X4 systems play a crucial role in how your vehicle handles power and traction. We service and replace fluids in these components to keep your drivetrain operating efficiently—especially important for trucks and off-road vehicles.
Fluid Flushes: Over time, fluids break down and lose their effectiveness. We offer complete flushes for. Each flush helps remove contaminants and restore your vehicle’s performance and longevity.
