Every service comes with what's actually included — and what isn't. No mystery fees. No "while we're in there" upsells. Here's what you'll pay.
5W-20 or 5W-30 blend. For cars whose owner's manual permits synthetic blend. Up to 5 quarts. New oil filter, tire-pressure check, washer fluid top-off. Each additional quart $6.
0W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic — our standard, the spec most modern vehicles need. Up to 5 quarts. Includes filter, tire-pressure check, washer fluid top-off. Each additional quart $10.
0W-8, 0W-16, 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30, or 5W-40 — for turbocharged, German, hybrid, and other engines that require non-standard viscosities. Up to 5 quarts. Each additional quart $10.
Front or rear axle. Pad replacement, hardware refresh, rotor inspection and measurement, brake-fluid check. Most common when pads are worn but rotors are still in spec. Parts warrantied 10,000 miles or 10 months. What does "per axle" mean? →
Pads plus new rotors when the originals are too thin or warped to safely resurface. Front and rear are priced separately because rear calipers — especially with electronic parking brakes — usually take more time. Parts warrantied 10,000 miles or 10 months.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Mini. Pads $230 front, $280 rear. Pads + rotors $450 front, $500 rear. Firm prices, and the rear already covers the electronic parking brake. Add $50 for an electronic parking brake on standard cars' rear pads, and $50 for same-day service.
The 60K / 100K mile bundle: spark plug replacement, engine air filter, cabin air filter, and a professional fuel-injection cleaner. Final price varies by vehicle — V8s need more plugs than 4-cylinders.
State-certified emissions testing for tag renewal. Most tests take about 10 minutes. No appointment needed. Not sure if you even need one? Check here →
All four tires rotated, pressure check, visual tire inspection. Quick service — usually done while you wait, around 20 minutes.
Single nail or screw repair. Drive-up service — usually 15 minutes from arrival to drive-off. No appointment needed.
Per blade, installed. We carry standard sizes for most vehicles. Bring your car in or call ahead and we'll have the right blades ready.
PARTS DEPOSIT: If your job needs a part we have to order, we take a $50 deposit when we place the order. It comes off your final bill — it is not an extra charge. It just makes sure the part we ordered has a car to go on.
SAME-DAY SERVICE: Need it done today? A flat $50 per visit, whatever the job. Booking a scheduled day instead avoids it, and we will always tell you that option exists.
Every car is a little different. A 2012 Tahoe and a 2024 Prius don't take the same oil, the same filter, or the same amount of time to service. Our base prices cover most cars on the road — the ones we see day-in, day-out from southwest Atlanta drivers — but if your vehicle is a luxury or European model, has a larger oil capacity, or needs a non-standard part, the price will adjust.
We always tell you the final number before we start the work. No exceptions. If you walk in for an $88 multi-grade oil change and your car turns out to need 7 quarts (it happens — bigger engines, certain trucks), we'll tell you the new number ($108 with two extra quarts) before we open the hood. You decide whether to proceed.
What's already included in posted prices: sales tax. Shop supplies fee. Disposal of used oil and filters. Rags, hand cleaner, all the stuff most shops add at the counter as a "$4–8 environmental fee." The number you see on this page is the number on your receipt — that's the whole point.
If we find something during your visit — a worn tire, a leaking hose, a brake pad nearing the end of its life — we'll show it to you and give you an honest recommendation. You decide what to do. Most of the time, our recommendation is "schedule it for next visit, no rush."
"After going to Dad's, I can finally say I've found my own. The team was friendly, everything was easy and transparent. It feels good to finally have a place I trust."
"I came in ready to dodge upsells, but the mechanic actually walked me through what my car will need down the line. I'll definitely be back."
"Friendly, knowledgeable, and honest from start to finish. They explained everything clearly. I'll definitely be coming back here and recommending them to friends."
You already know what it'll cost. Pick a time that works for you.
