Keep your vehicle running smoothly.
At Metro Motor, we understand your vehicle is an essential part of your daily life. That's why our comprehensive auto repair and maintenance services are designed to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently. Trust our experienced, ASE-certified technicians to handle all your routine vehicle maintenance needs with precision and care.
Vehicle maintenance is necessary if your car is going to keep running and be safe for you, your passengers, and other cars on the road for years to come. Vehicles are a big investment, and preventive auto maintenance helps that investment last. When we say “preventive” we’re talking about taking care of small things on a regular basis to prevent big (expensive and risky) problems from developing down the road. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your vehicle's longevity, reliability, and performance.

Some car owners prefer to perform basic vehicle maintenance tasks on their own, while others prefer to have a trusted auto mechanic perform services like oil changes and tire rotation. Many car maintenance tasks require specialized knowledge and tools, making it less likely that the owner will have everything on hand to do the job. That's where Metro Motor comes in! Our convenient, neighborhood auto repair shops are there to lend a helpful hand when your vehicle needs some TLC.
Roll into Metro Motor for your everyday car maintenance services.
Recommended car maintenance services, and the interval between car service appointments, will vary depending on the year, make, and model of a car. Other factors that affect how often you should have vehicle preventive maintenance performed include driving conditions and driver behavior. But no matter how you drive or how old your vehicle is, Metro Motor can help you keep it rolling and riding with these car maintenance services:
Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining the health of your engine. At Metro Motor, we use high-quality motor oil and filters to ensure optimal engine performance. Our ASE-certified technicians will:
- Drain the old oil and replace it with fresh, premium motor oil.
- Replace the oil filter to keep your engine clean and free of debris.
- Perform a multi-point inspection to check for any potential issues, like leaks or accumulated grime.
By following the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals, you can prevent engine wear and tear, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your vehicle.
Tire Rotation
Even tire wear is essential for maintaining a smooth and safe ride. Our tire rotation service helps to extend the lifespan of your tires by promoting even wear, while improving your vehicle’s overall handling and performance. Balanced tires can even enhance fuel efficiency and overall driving safety. Metro Motor technicians will rotate your tires according to manufacturer guidelines for your specific vehicle, ensuring balanced tread wear and optimal performance.
Brake Inspections & Maintenance
Your safety on the road depends on the reliability of your brakes. At Metro Motor, we provide thorough brake inspections and maintenance services, including:
- Inspecting brake pads, rotors, and calipers for wear and damage
- Replacing worn-out brake pads and resurfacing or replacing rotors as needed
- Checking and topping off brake fluid levels
Regular brake maintenance ensures your braking system functions properly, providing you with peace of mind and safety on the road. Be ready for wet, icy, or rough driving conditions – and D.C.'s notorious stop-and-go traffic.
Fluid Checks & Top-Offs
Fluids play a critical role in the smooth operation of your vehicle. Our technicians will check and top off essential fluids, including:
- Engine oil
- Coolant
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
Keeping these fluids at the proper levels ensures your vehicle runs efficiently and helps prevent costly repairs down the line.
Battery Testing & Replacement
A reliable battery is essential for starting your car and powering its electrical systems. Our battery services include:
- Testing your battery’s charge and overall health
- Cleaning battery terminals and connections
- Replacing old or weak batteries with high-quality replacements
Regular battery maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns and ensures your car starts reliably every time.
Air Filter Replacement
Clean air filters are vital for your engine’s performance and fuel efficiency. During our air filter service, we inspect and replace engine air filters and cabin air filters to also ensure clean air inside your vehicle. Regular air filter replacements keep your engine running smoothly. You'll benefit from fresher air, too!

Some cars are subject to a lot more stress than others and, as a result, need extra care. For these situations, there is something called Severe Service Requirements. The owner's manual will be specific about your vehicle preventive maintenance schedule. It should provide you with time tables for both Regular Service Intervals and Severe Service Requirements. If you don’t have the owner's manual, you can go online to get one or stop by a dealership to see if they can provide you with one. You can also ask us! Metro Motor is happy to provide you with helpful vehicle information.
