Oil Changes
Hansma recommends that you change your oil and filter every 5000 kilometers. One of our auto experts can change your oil in an efficient and timely manner, in order to get you back on the road. Dirty oil can lower the lifespan of your engine. Running low or out of oil can be catastrophic and destroy your engine within minutes. Learn More.
Rust Proofing
Keeping your vehicle free from rust can extend its lifetime by many years. In our harsh Canadian winters powerful salts are used to keep the roads clear of ice, but these salts also accelerate the rate of rust growth. Be sure to keep your vehicle protected. Learn more.

Tune Ups
The term "car tune up service" has changed a great deal over the years as the way cars are made has changed. The need for preventive maintenance on your vehicle has not changed; however, just the processes required. There isn't a precise definition of what a tune-up should exactly include, but according to autotap.com's technical library, most mechanics would agree that it should include replacing spark plugs and making other adjustments to maintain and restore your engine's performance.
