3.4/5

Winner of New Business of the Year. Five Star Autocentre located in Paddock, Huddersfield has won this very prestige title at the Huddersfield business awards which was held at the Galpharm Stadium.

Whatever the size of your car, Five Star Autocentre based in Huddersfield can offer you a first-class service at a fraction of the price youÔÇÖre currently paying to a main dealer ÔÇô without invalidating your warranty. YouÔÇÖre probably used to using a main dealer for your servicing. ThatÔÇÖs a safe option but an expensive one. We can offer all the benefits of a main dealer operation ÔÇô skilled mechanics, the latest diagnostic equipment, original manufacturersÔÇÖ components ÔÇô but without the huge mark-ups and sky-high hourly rates. The result? A first-class service that will save you money. A lot of money. We offer a comprehensive range of services to provide you with complete cover. We are able to provide a full range of services including MOT testing, servicing, brakes, clutches, tyres, exhausts, diagnostics and air conditioning servicing.

We have over 40 years of combined automotive staff experience. As an Investors in People accredited company, we care about our staff and they care about the service they give to customers. Importantly, we are still a family firm ÔÇô the founding director Mr Ali, is still involved very much in the day-to-day running ÔÇô which means that we can deliver the kind of personal service that you rarely encounter in the impersonal world of modern business. Ali started his working career at Toyota, the main franchise dealer based on Leeds Road in Huddersfield. He worked there for seven years as a senior automotive technician before deciding to open up Five Star Autocentre. We are committed to giving you best value. We will not tell you something needs doing when it doesnÔÇÖt. ThatÔÇÖs the principle on which we have become successful and we are confident that once you try us, you will not be disappointed. So with motoring costs going through the roof, it makes sense to call us today. ThereÔÇÖs no obligation and you could save up to 60 % off main dealer prices.

Frequently asked questions about an oil change

How often should I change my oil?

Oil should typically be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. For synthetic oil, it can last 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Check your vehicle’s manual for exact details.

Can I change car oil myself?

Yes, you can change your oil if you have the tools and know-how. But, it’s often simpler and cleaner to let a pro handle it. Don’t forget to dispose of the old oil properly!

What happens if you don’t change your oil?

Skipping oil changes can cause engine parts to wear out faster, leading to overheating and damage. This can result in costly repairs.

How long would it take to do an oil change take?

An oil change typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

Can I just add oil to my car instead of getting an oil change?

Adding oil can temporarily address low oil levels, but it doesn’t replace the need for a full oil change. Over time, oil becomes contaminated and loses its effectiveness, so it must be replaced.

How urgent is an oil change?

Delaying oil changes can harm your engine and lower performance. Stick to the recommended schedule to keep things running smoothly.

Is an oil change covered under my warranty?

Some car warranties cover oil changes, but this depends on the specific terms of your warranty. Check your warranty policy for details.

Is an oil change covered by my insurance?

Oil changes are generally not covered by car insurance since they are routine maintenance.

Do I need to do an oil change for a leased car?

Yes, leased cars need regular oil changes. Not maintaining them properly could lead to fees at the end of your lease.

What should I use synthetic oil?

Synthetic oil offers better performance, lasts longer, and protects your engine more, especially in extreme conditions. However, it costs more than regular oil.

How can I check my car's oil level?

To check your car’s oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove it again to see the oil level. The oil should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.
