Most quick-lube places charge over $120 for a FULL SYNTHETIC oil change, then quietly slap on a cheap $3 bulk filter.

We do it differently.

Right now, you can get a full synthetic oil change for $85 flat.

What’s included:

Up to 5 quarts of premium full synthetic oil
A genuine OEM manufacturer filter (not a generic white-box filter)
No pushy sales pitches or manufactured "emergencies"
No hidden disposal or shop fees tacked on at checkout
Note: This $85 rate is an online-only promotion, so you must book your time slot in advance through the link below.

One of our customers has to undergo a DOUBLE lung transplant and is needing some assistance. Please consider purchasing a plate of food at Massey Auto Parts (NAPA) in Locust Fork to help them through this difficult time!

Image was sent to us by the family of the customer, we are not part of the fundraiser, and in no way do we profit from it.

Transmission Tuesdays: Did you know that transmission fluid and filters ARE supposed to be changed?

You probably got quoted for HUNDREDS for a transmission fluid flush, when all you really need is to have the transmission drained, filter changed (if applicable), and refilled about every 30k miles.

Most vehicles only cost about $120-$150 for that service with us. Schedule using the link in the comments!

What is the single worst car advice you have ever been given?

Whether it was a friend telling you to pour dish soap in the radiator, someone insisting that a glowing check engine light just means "drive faster," or a guy at a gas station offering a 30-second fix for a knocked rod, we have all heard some pretty wild auto repair myths.

At Red Clay Engines, we see the aftermath of bad advice every week—and we prefer to stick to straight answers, solid diagnostics, and mechanical facts to keep your vehicle running right.

BEWARE!!! Your local “trusted” mobile mechanic might not be so trustworthy and may leave you high and dry

Our customer came to us after utilizing a local “trusted” mobile mechanic to perform a head gasket and timing chain job. They were quoted about $3100, which is normal for this specific engine if you have the overhead of a brick and mortar shop to pay for, but high as a mobile mechanic. To make it worse, this mechanic blocked them after the “repair” inevitably failed.

Yes, there are 2 sides to each story, but we have a copy of the invoice, text messages, and pictures of the work not completed correctly.

We performed the repair, warranty the work, and ALWAYS are available should a customer have issues.

All this to say, make sure if you think you’re going to save money with a mobile mechanic, or are willing to pay for the convenience of them doing it at your home, you verify they can show you insurance so you can make a claim if they choose not to assist with a warranty repair.

Pictured below is the oil pick up screen absolutely covered in RTV, timing chain guide pieces, and carbon. None of that should be there had they performed the repair correctly the first time. Also pictured is the state of the cylinder heads we assume they attempted to resurface themselves with sand paper.
