Car Repair FAQs
Our technicians and mechanics report that these are the top 4 most common questions asked at our Dripping Springs auto service center.
How Much is an Oil Change?
It’s hard to quote a price when we don’t know what car you drive or what oil it needs. We offer conventional, synthetic blend and full synthentic oil changes, with coupons and discounts to help you save!
The national average cost of an oil change is between $35 and $75. The price difference really comes down to whether you’re using synthetic or conventional oil. If you are really curious about the type of oil you need or cost of your oil change for your vehicle, contact Kwik Kar Dripping Springs to find out the type of oil you need or the cost of your oil change.
How long should you go between oil changes
While the general guideline is to get an oil change every 3 months or 3,000 miles, this recommendation has several exceptions. Modern vehicles can often go anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 miles before requiring an oil change. Engines using full synthetic oil may sometimes even last up to 15,000 miles before needing fresh oil.
However, if your car uses conventional motor oil instead of synthetic, we advise periodic engine flushes to help prevent sludge accumulation. When unsure, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals, or simply check your oil level using the dipstick periodically
What is a safety inspection?
A safety inspection is different from a Texas state inspection. A State inspection includes a safety and emissions test, depending on the county.
Whereas a basic, safety inspection is independent, and only costs $7 though it is still required throughout Texas.
*Note that different counties have different requirements for emissions testing.
What are your car maintenance recommendations?
Your car’s manual will have a full list of services and recommended intervals in months or miles. Staying up to date on these services will keep your car running in peak condition. Here are some of our frequency tips for some of the most popular services we provide:
- Power steering service: 2 years or 50,000 miles
- Fuel injection service: 3 years or 45,000 miles
- Radiator service: 3-5 years or 30,000 miles
- Spark plug tune-up: every 80,000 miles

If you want to keep your car running, you’ve got to get a quick oil change. Why not get it done at Kwik Kar?
Many auto repair shops, unfortunately, treat oil changes as an opportunity to upsell you on additional auto repairs you may not need. These leads to frustration and an unnecessarily lengthy experience for the customer.
At Kwik Kar, we never try to upsell you on services you don't need. Regardless of whether you drive a standard vehicle or a diesel engine, our technicians are adept at performing fast oil changes in 30 minutes or less to get you back on the road in no time.
