For a lot of us, our car is our best friend – our daily companion who accompanies us everywhere we go. As such, it’s always in our best interest to make sure our car receives nothing but the best when it comes to repair and maintenance. Indeed, given our busy schedules, it can be all too easy to take our vehicle’s maintenance for granted. After all, just because everything seems to be running all right, doesn’t mean you can just forget about keeping your car’s maintenance in check.
As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure, and that’s why it’s always a good idea to stay on top of your car’s periodic maintenance service (PMS) schedule. Different cars will have different service intervals, but all cars pretty much undergo the same set of maintenance jobs. These include the most common and basic ones such as regular oil changes, wheel alignments, brake adjustments and cleaning, and filter and fluid changes.
With all that being said, there’s a new automotive service provider in town – one that promises to save you time and money with its expert services. Best of all, they work on any car from any brand, and their tailored selection of packages means that you can stay on top of your car’s maintenance without breaking the bank. Let’s take a closer look at AutoQuix and everything it has to offer.
About AutoQuix
AutoQuix opened the doors to its first branch in EDSA Balintawak in April 2023. Touted as your pit stop for expert car care, the company offers a comprehensive selection of automotive repair and service jobs ranging from your frequent oil change and quick services, to more specialized repair jobs such as underchassis, brakes, and suspension. Apart from these, AutoQuix also specializes in tires and battery needs, ensuring you have everything you need for a hassle-free journey. Let’s take a deeper dive into the specific maintenance jobs, and why it’s important to stay on top of all of them.
Change Oil
Oil changes are by far the most common maintenance job performed on any vehicle, and it’s easy to understand why. Your car’s engine oil is quite literally its lifeblood, and without it, your engine could literally explode. Your car’s engine is full of moving parts that work together harmoniously, spinning at thousands of revolutions per minute, so it’s easy to see why things can get pretty hot in there. Your oil keeps things running smoothly and absorbs all the heat generated from that movement, and naturally, it degrades over time. Having your oil and filter changed by a trained technician will go a long way in prolonging your engine’s service life.
Tires and Battery
Although unrelated, your car's tires and battery are easily among the most easily neglected parts of your vehicle, while also being among the most important. Your tires are the only point of contact between your car and the road, and it’s essential that they’re in excellent condition in order to keep you and your loved ones safe. Tires age over time, and excessive wear and tear can drastically hinder their performance.
On the other hand, your car’s battery is essential in starting the engine, and without it, you could be left stranded in the middle of nowhere, waiting for hours for a tow truck and faced with a hefty fee. Just like your tires, your battery degrades over time, and loses its capability of holding charge and releasing amps to start your engine. On more high-tech cars, a faulty battery can trigger a variety of warning lights causing your dashboard to light up like a Christmas tree – definitely not the flashing lights you want to see.
Brakes
They say that what comes up must come down. The same is true with cars: as your speed increases, you need to be able to slow down at a moment’s notice, too. Your brakes are the only thing you have that can do this effectively. As such, it goes without saying that your brakes must regularly be checked in order to ensure their condition. Worn brake pads, contaminated brake fluid, and warped rotors are only a few issues that continuous usage imparts on your brakes. Making sure they’re regularly checked by a professional will certainly go a long way in aiding your safety and peace of mind.
Underchassis
The dreaded kalampag is something that keeps a lot of car owners up at night. As our cars age, their suspension systems, linkages, and bushings wear out, causing metal-to-metal contact, and that annoying noise that you can’t seem to drown out, no matter how loud your stereo is. Oftentimes, these noises make their presence felt on rough roads or when turning, so you may not be able to find them by simply getting down on your hands and knees and peeking underneath your car. Dealing with technical suspension and underchassis components takes a lot of skill and training, and is best left to the professionals.
Quick Service
A lot of us have very busy schedules, and can’t be bothered to take a day off from work to deal with car problems. Luckily, AutoQuix has something that other workshops don’t: the Quick Service. Here, AutoQuix’s expert technicians will do a comprehensive check-up on your car and provide quick solutions for minor issues such as fluid top-ups, tire pressure, and more. AutoQuix promises a hassle-free experience that will get your car back in tip-top shape in no time.

Its Basic Package consists of a multipoint inspection, an oil change, and a filter change – the essentials needed to keep your car running smoothly. This package starts at P1,600.
Up next, the Deluxe Package is perfect for those looking to give their car some TLC, and consists of a multipoint inspection, oil change, filter change, and the added benefit of cleaning and fine-tuning your brakes. This package carries a starting price of P2,450.
