August 9, 2020
All of us in Livonia know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Elite Tire And Auto Care technicians change your oil, they also usually inspect your air filter. That's why they sometimes let you know that your air filter needs to be changed before releasing your vehicle.
