Quick oil change on a 2012 Suzuki Equator Sport!

We only use quality affordable products worth while to keep your vehicle in perfect condition!

Fun fact: Your vehicles engine oil has something called viscosity, viscosity is basically the thickness of the oil in liquid form, or better described as the resistance to flow, over time viscosity decreases , causing engine oil to thin out over time to the constant heat/cold cycle of starting your engine every day, this is why a mileage schedule is set depending on the driving habits for your vehicle and quality of the oil purchased

Opinionated overall suggested schedules:

100+ miles a day/ every 3k miles
50 miles a day/ every 5k miles
25 miles a day/ every 7k miles
5-15 miles a day/ every 10-15k miles

Happy Easter from Richy’s Engine & Brake Service🐰

Rear Rotor & Pads: 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

Did this job for a customer truly in need! The before and after was miraculous and I was super happy to see this specific customer pull off with clean and noise free rear brakes! The previous ones were borderline a safety hazard! Any other shop would’ve replaced the calipers and up charged this fella by a ton! I’m glad I was able to help!

Welcome to Richy’s Automotive Engine & Brake Service!

Just a little about me:

My name is James and I'm a young aspiring mechanic from Long Island NY, local to the Greenville South Carolina area! I go by Richy to everyone around me and I felt that would fit the name a bit better. I specialize in the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang platform, I have always had a passion for turning the wrench and learning every step of the way. Eventually I figured this would be something I'd want to do for the rest of my life, It brings massive joy and puts a smile on my face

My main focus when working on customer vehicles would be understanding the price points for people of different incomes, working to spread awareness as to how important automotive maintenance is even if you aren’t a mechanic yourself, and overall retaining a good reputation among the locals of Greenville!

Thank you so much for checking me out, I hope to see some of you in the near future and put a smile on your faces!
