Maine Dealership Offering Mobile Oil Changes So You Never Have to Leave the House

There are just some things in life that are unavoidable. Chores that we often put off until the very last minute. One of the most common instances would be getting an oil change.

It's not that bringing your car for service is a painstaking operation. But almost anywhere you go, appointment or not, you're going to have to wait for a technician to take care of your vehicle. For some people, that's an annoyance that is difficult to overcome, which is why at least one car dealership in southern Maine is trying to modernize their offerings.

Rowe Ford in Westbrook has been offering mobile oil changes for the last couple of years. The option has gone under-the-radar.

The process starts with the make and model of your vehicle. If Rowe Ford believes they can execute a mobile oil change on your vehicle, you can set up an appointment. From there, it's as simple as a technician showing up at your house and using your driveway as a Quicklane.

Because of the convenience of having a technician show up in your driveway versus bringing your vehicle to a building constructed for oil changes, the service itself takes a bit longer.  But the reward is being to able to use your own living room as the waiting area.

Technicians have gone as far as Sugarloaf to make house calls for oil changes. The price can be reflective of the distance traveled by a tech, but the pure convenience of the service may be worth it to some.

The mobile oil change is an idea that is starting to catch on across the country. As more people work from home, having a service like this come to you is too good to pass up.
