I'm not from this country, and my experience here has not always been pleasant with mechanics and garages. That is until I found Creekside Automotive. Right away they were able to diagnose the problem in my Toyota Land Cruiser with an honest price and friendly attitude. Previously, I'd been to four other places that did not know what the problem was and gave me an exorbitant quote. - Moshe K.

Nobody - I mean nobody wants a high repair bill. Ever! So why ignore the easy things like filters and fluids? Here at Creekside Automotive our Rowlett drivers know that their car and truck’s filters are important to the longevity of that vehicle as well as the interior comfort. Maximize your car investment by replacing filters regularly. The oil filter traps contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. The fuel filter separates harmful contaminants that may cause problems with carburetors or intricate fuel injectors. The air filter traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons and piston rings. The air filter also plays a role in keeping contaminants off the airflow sensor (in fuel-injected cars). The cabin filter helps trap pollen, bacteria and dust that may find their way into a car’s ventilation system. Keeping the filters and fluids changed regularly is simply a win-win solution!

Every vehicle - whether new or old - must receive regular maintenance to keep running at peak performance. Check to see if your vehicle may be over-due for a 3,500-mile, 7,500-mile, 15,000-mile, 30,000-mile, 60,000-mile or 90,000-mile service. Creekside Automotive in Rowlett would like to share with you the following suggested guidleines for routine maintenance.
