Four services your car actually needs at scheduled mileage intervals — bundled into one honest price. Spark plugs, engine air filter, cabin air filter, fuel injection cleaner. Starting at $250.
Most cars need this maintenance once or twice in their life — usually somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer. Atlanta drivers, especially folks who commute on I-285 or rack up city miles on the Cascade and Campbellton corridors, tend to hit these milestones a little faster than the average. If your car is showing any of these signs, you're probably due.
Aging spark plugs make the engine work harder for less power. The package replaces them.
Worn plugs and dirty injectors quietly eat your MPG. The package addresses both.
Clogged cabin filter. Affects air quality and how hard your AC has to work.
Your owner's manual lists this maintenance at a specific mileage. If you're past it, you're due.
We bundled the four maintenance items most cars need at the same time — usually around the 60,000 or 100,000 mile mark — into a single package. New spark plugs, a fresh engine air filter, a fresh cabin air filter, and a professional fuel injection cleaning. Done in one visit.
Why bundle? Because these four items get done together at the dealer for $1,200 to $1,500, and most chain shops will sell them à la carte at marked-up prices. We figured the honest move was to bundle them at one fair price and skip the math.
The package starts at $250. Final price depends on your vehicle — some cars take more spark plugs, some take premium iridium plugs, some have harder-to-reach engine bays. We'll always quote you the exact final price before any work begins. Most of our package customers are coming over from Cascade Heights, Adamsville, West End, or East Point — folks who'd rather drive 10 minutes for a fair quote than sit at the dealer all day.
Final price varies by vehicle. Quoted upfront before any work begins. No surprise charges.
If your manufacturer doesn't say you need this maintenance yet, we won't push the package. We don't do "engine flushes," "preventative additive treatments," or random "system cleanings" that aren't in your owner's manual. The package exists because these four items genuinely belong together at the right mileage. If you're not at that mileage yet, we'll tell you to come back later.

If yours isn't here, just call. We're not going to make you fill out a form for a basic question.
Depends on the manufacturer. Most cars are due somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. The exact mileage is in your owner's manual under "scheduled maintenance." If you don't have your manual handy, give us your year, make, and model and we'll look it up for you.
The dealer marks up parts and labor on each item separately, then adds shop fees on top. We get the same quality parts at fair prices, do the work efficiently in one visit, and bundle the labor. Same actual maintenance, fraction of the cost. We're not cutting corners — we're cutting markups.
If you only need one item, give us a call and we'll quote the individual service. The package is designed for the moment when your car needs all four at the same scheduled mileage — which is the most common case. We won't push the package if your car doesn't need it.
Usually 2 to 3 hours, depending on your vehicle. Some engines have easy spark plug access; some require more work to reach them. We'll tell you the time estimate when you book.
Different cars take different parts. A 4-cylinder Honda needs four spark plugs; a V8 truck needs eight. Some engines require premium iridium plugs that cost more. Some cars have harder-to-reach engine bays that take more labor. We always quote you the exact price for your specific vehicle before any work starts — no guessing, no upsell.
We use quality OEM-equivalent parts from trusted manufacturers — the same brands the factory installed, just without the dealership markup. If you specifically want OEM-branded parts (sometimes required for warranty), we can source them at additional cost. We'll tell you the difference upfront.
All four items are standard scheduled maintenance for nearly every gasoline vehicle on the road. Your manual will list spark plugs and air filters by mileage. If you can't find the schedule, bring the manual in and we'll help you locate it — or we'll look up the OEM schedule for your vehicle online.
Sometimes. If your check engine light is on because of worn spark plugs or dirty injectors, the package will likely clear it. If it's on for a different reason — oxygen sensor, evap leak, anything else — you'll need a diagnostic first. We can do that diagnostic for $95, and the cost is rolled in if you go forward with repairs.
"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."
