Why Quick Lube Oil Changes could end costly!

Quick Lube oil changes have become popular options for Toyota car owners. 
These options claim to be fast, easy and cheap.  Unfortunately, this is not always the case.  You could end up spending extra money on Toyota parts for your vehicle.  This is because of damages and/or lack of knowledge about your specific Toyota vehicle at a quick oil change place.

Problems can include:
*Stripping threads on the drain plug.
*Not reinstalling the drain plug.
*Installing the wrong oil filter.
*Unfamiliar w/ the make & model requirements for correct amount & type of oil.
*Non-factory trained to ensure maximum performance as well as to maintain manufacturer warranty requirements.
*Unable to check for current Recalls or technical service bulletins through the manufacturer for the vehicle.
*Generic parts over factory specific parts
Here are a few important reasons why you should think twice before utilizing non-manufacturer quick lube oil change services rather than a Toyota Express Service Lane.

1. Technicians are Sometimes Inexperienced: Many quick oil change places hire young, inexperienced technicians.  This sometimes leads to mistakes because they don’t look over their work. McEleney Toyota only hires ASE and Toyota Certified Technicians to work on your Toyota vehicle.

2. Technicians are Overworked: In quick oil changes, time is of the essence.  It’s not about quality.  It’s about getting as many cars as possible through the service bays.  Mistakes are more likely to happen under these types of conditions.

3. Technicians Cut Corners: Many times, technicians will forget to check the air pressure in your tires or top off other fluids in your car.  These places also will not tell you if there are any additional problems with your car.
If you decide to get an oil change at a Quick Lube, be sure to take a good look at your vehicle after the service. 

It’s better to visit a mechanic that specializes in your vehicle At McEleney Toyota; we can give you the proper service and identify other potential problems.  Rest assured if you own a Toyota, you can ensure that we will use genuine Toyota parts that will keep your car on the road longer.

McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota Makes Donation to Clinton Jaycees’ Symphony of Lights

Clinton, Iowa, December 2, 2011 – McEleney Chevrolet Buick GMC Toyota hopes to make the season brighter by providing $2000 to cover the cost of the vandalism at Eagle Point Park to the Jaycees’ annual Symphony of Lights.

A $2000 check was presented today by John McEleney, President McEleney Chevrolet-Buick-GMC-Toyota to Louise Laurent, Treasurer Clinton Symphony of Lights and Ryan Steines, President Clinton Jaycees to offset the cost of restoring the display following the recent vandalism.
"Every year, the holidays provide an opportunity for us to show our gratitude to our community for their continued partnership throughout the year," said John McEleney.  "With the challenging economy, there is more need this holiday season.  When we saw the opportunity to make a contribution in our community that would ultimately impact so many individuals, the decision to make a donation was simple."

“We’re delighted to support the important work of Clinton Jaycees and maintain such a time honored tradition in Clinton," shared McEleney.  “We thought it would be good to do something that would allow us to share the real meaning of the season with others.  In the heart of the Christmas season, we hope this contribution will add to the holiday joy in our community.”
