Lindsay & Kawartha Lakes
Oil changes and scheduled maintenance for Lindsay commuters
About 40 minutes east of Lindsay via Highway 7
Lindsay drivers who work in Peterborough put on serious annual kilometres, and highway kilometres reach service intervals faster than the calendar suggests. The upside is that highway running is comparatively gentle on oil; the downside is that everything interval-based — filters, fluids, belts, plugs — comes due sooner than owners expect.
Because Lindsay is a drive away, we try to make each visit count. That means an oil and filter change alongside a genuine inspection: brakes measured, tires read, fluids checked, suspension and steering looked over on the hoist, and anything found reported with a number attached rather than a vague warning.
4 Aces Auto Center has been at 485 Parkhill Rd E for over 20 years. Tell us your commute when you book on (705) 748-4223 and we will build a service schedule around it, so the trips you make here are planned instead of unexpected.
What this work covers
- Conventional, synthetic-blend and full-synthetic oil with the manufacturer-specified grade and filter
- Multi-point inspection on every visit — brakes, tires, fluids, belts, hoses, suspension
- Cabin and engine air filter replacement
- Manufacturer-schedule maintenance: transmission, coolant, brake fluid and differential services
- Tire rotation and pressure set, timed to your commute rather than the calendar
- A written record of what was measured, so the next visit has a baseline

What Lindsay customers ask about this work
- How often should a highway commuter change the oil?
- Follow the manufacturer's interval and the vehicle's oil life monitor rather than a flat 5,000 km rule. Highway driving is easier on oil than short trips, so many commuters can safely run the full interval on full synthetic. We will tell you what your specific vehicle calls for.
- Can you do everything in one appointment?
- That is the aim, and it is why we ask what is due before you drive over. If a wear item turns up during the inspection, we quote it while you are here so you can decide rather than making a second trip.
- Is there a discount on oil changes?
- Yes — we have a standing 15% off oil change packages offer. Mention it when you book and it is applied to the estimate.
- Will using a non-dealer shop affect my warranty?
- No. In Canada you are entitled to have maintenance performed where you choose, provided the correct specification parts and fluids are used and the work is documented. We record both.

“I have been very pleased with the service I have received at 4 Aces Automotive Centre. They have solved problems that other facilities were not able to do. The pricing seems fair—certainly comparable to other centres. And they seem very friendly, knowledgable, efficient, and skilled. Once, when they had my car up on the hoist—performing a repair— they detected an additional—and serious—problem. Rather than just telling me what they had found, they took me out into the garage to show me the issue and suggested that I have an auto body expert look at the problem to determine if it could be safely resolved before I had 4 Aces proceed with some additional repairs. I trust their work and they seem to genuinely care about the safety of my vehicle.”
