Oil Changes

Ensuring the longevity of your vehicle requires regular maintenance, particularly when it comes to the crucial aspect of oil change service. Unfortunately, many car owners neglect this routine. The number of times you should change your car’s oil depends on a couple of factors:
- Driving Frequency: The more you drive, the more frequently you should change your car’s oil. Frequent driving puts more strain on the engine, and the oil degrades faster.
- Driving Conditions: If you frequently drive in extreme conditions such as severe temperatures, dusty or sandy environments, or stop-and-go traffic, your oil may need to be changed more often.
- Vehicle Type: Different vehicles have different oil change intervals. High-performance vehicles may require more frequent oil changes compared to regular commuter cars.
If you are close to the Hamilton area, then it is most fitting that you come on down to CRS AUTOMOTIVE, where our professional technicians can take a look at your vehicle and advise you on how often you should change your vehicle oil. Our technicians will provide a thorough and efficient inspection of more than just your car’s oil. Regular inspection matters when it comes to vehicle maintenance and health.

The oil filter is an essential part of your engine. To increase your engine’s lifespan, your oil needs to be clean for more extended periods, resulting from a properly working oil filter. The air filter is vital as it provides clean air to the carburetion system. A dirty or clogged air filter can lead to reduced gas mileage.
Importance of Lubrication for Your Vehicle
Since there are a large number of moving parts in a functioning vehicle, lubrication is essential. Your car needs to be lubricated to drive smoothly and efficiently. CRS AUTOMOTIVE will make sure that your vehicle is adequately lubricated while completing your regular maintenance. We can also ensure that clogging and blockage do not affect your transmission filter as this will obstruct fluid flow to internal parts. Lack of fluid flow can cause further problems with your transmission. Getting your transmission filter changed every so often is essential for these reasons.
The Role of Antifreeze in Cold Weather
You will need antifreeze as well when the weather starts to get colder. The antifreeze will keep your engine from overheating or freezing, and we can ensure that we will provide your vehicle with the correct amount. On the other hand, keeping your engine from overheating can avoid more significant complications. As such, we can give your car’s engine the correct amount of coolant as well.

Recent Review & Rating
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a client of CRS since 2018 when I moved to Oakville and they had a shop nearby. When they moved to Hamilton, I followed them despite still living in Oakville. Their honesty, integrity, professionalism, and friendliness are rare to find with a mechanic shop, and those are the qualities that keep me as a client. They do excellent work, and I’ve never been disappointed with same.Posted onJulian and S HusbandsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Testimonial for CRS Automotive I had just reserved my first service ever at CRS Automotive but, the day before my service was scheduled, my car spun out on an icy 407 highway and my car’s rear bumper gently bumped the guard rail and knocked off my muffler and exhaust pipe. So I called CRS Automotive to ask if I could get my car towed to their shop today instead of bring it in tomorrow and they not only made room in their schedule, when the tow truck arrived, they took me in right away, did my oil change and repaired my exhaust system. The quality of service was very impressive, and the prices were very reasonable. I would highly refer any friend or relative to CRS Automotive in Hamilton for automotive service.

They were able to fix an issue in one day where another garage was looking for multiple days and had no luck figuring out the issuePosted onAndrew CemkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly; helped me with a last minute tire issuePosted onjulie boudreauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience at CRS Auto and would absolutely recommend them. I brought my car in with concerns about poor fuel economy and multiple brake and safety warning lights. While the initial inspection itself was a visual/mechanical check (about an hour), what really stood out was the time and care they took afterward to explain everything in detail. I ended up staying close to two hours total, and a large part of that was spent having a thoughtful, productive discussion about the car, possible causes, and realistic next steps. They checked for brake drag, reviewed the brake fluid level, and explained how system sensitivity can sometimes trigger multiple warnings without there being a major mechanical failure. They topped up the brake fluid at no extra charge, and all warning indicators cleared immediately. There was zero upselling, no pressure to authorize unnecessary work, and no dismissiveness — just clear explanations and honest guidance. For $59.90 + tax, I got far more value than expected. They were extremely transparent, not pushy at all, and genuinely generous with their time and knowledge. That level of honesty and patience is rare. If you’re looking for a shop that’s straightforward, trustworthy, and actually wants you to understand your car, CRS Auto is absolutely worth your time. I’ll definitely be back.Posted onHimothy -
