Quick Car Service: Oil Change, Brake Pads, Filters & Express Maintenance

Modern cars need regular care — but not every visit to the garage should take a full day.
At Mario Garage in Cagnes-sur-Mer, we offer fast service with no appointment required, focused on essential maintenance: oil changes, brake pad replacements, filter swaps, and quick mechanical checks.

What Is Quick Maintenance?

Quick maintenance means fast, essential service without leaving your car in the shop all day.
In just 30 to 60 minutes, our technicians can change the oil, replace filters, check brakes, fluids, and tire pressure.
It’s the perfect alternative between full manufacturer inspections — keeping your car reliable, safe, and running smoothly.

Our Express Services

• Engine oil change and oil-filter replacement
• Air-filter and cabin-filter replacement
• Front and rear brake pad replacement
• Brake-fluid and coolant check
• Tire pressure and tread inspection
• Battery and belt check
• Service-indicator reset

We use only premium oils — Motul, Castrol, and Mobil — all approved for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen engines.

How Long Does It Take?

• Oil change: 30–40 minutes

• Brake pads: 40–60 minutes

• Filter replacement: 20 minutes

• Fluid check: 15 minutes

You can relax with a coffee and Wi-Fi in our lounge or return later the same day — your car will be ready fast.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay Small Maintenance Jobs

Skipping small services often leads to major repairs later.
Old oil thickens, clogged filters restrict air, and worn brake fluid reduces stopping power.
Regular servicing every 10,000–15,000 km keeps the engine clean, efficient, and prevents costly breakdowns.

Quick Service vs. Full Inspection

A full inspection follows the factory schedule: full diagnostic, suspension, belts, and deep mechanical check.
Quick service, on the other hand, focuses on the essential daily-use items.
At Mario Garage, you can choose both — but our Express Zone is designed for busy drivers who value time and reliability.

Mistakes Other Garages Make

Some garages advertise cheap oil changes but use low-grade oil that doesn’t meet the manufacturer’s standards.
That can cause excessive wear, noise, or overheating.
At Mario Garage, we do things right:
– Correct oil type for your engine
– New gasket at every filter change
– Precise oil level check after warm-up
– Proper electronic reset of the service indicator

Check-List Before You Visit
