Auto Care Center at Ballinger Store

Routine service helps keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. As a general rule, you should have your vehicle serviced every 6,000–8,000 miles or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Factors like driving habits, road conditions and vehicle age can affect how often you’ll need service.

Not sure where to start? Walmart’s Auto Care Center associates can help you create a schedule that fits your vehicle’s needs. Whether it's time for an oil change, tire rotation or battery check, we’re here to make routine maintenance simple and convenient.

Every oil change at Walmart’s Auto Care Center includes a few added benefits at no extra cost. These courtesy checks include battery inspection, wiper blade check, fluid level check and tire pressure adjustment. We also inspect lights, filters and signals when applicable.

Our goal is to help you catch small issues before they turn into big repairs. It’s one more way we deliver quality service you can count on every time you visit.

Choosing the right motor oil helps your engine perform its best and last longer. The right type depends on your vehicle’s age, how you drive and what’s recommended in your owner’s manual.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Synthetic oil: Chemically engineered for advanced performance. It protects your engine in extreme hot or cold temperatures, reduces wear, improves fuel efficiency and helps keep your engine clean. Often recommended for newer or high-performance vehicles.

• High-mileage oil: Made for vehicles with 75,000 miles or more. It contains additives that help reduce leaks, oil burn-off and wear. It’s designed to extend the life of older engines.

• Conventional oil: Traditional motor oil used in many older vehicles. It provides solid protection under normal driving conditions and works well when changed at regular intervals.

If you’re not sure which oil is right for your vehicle, our trained technicians at Walmart Auto Care Centers can help.

We carry motor oils from trusted brands like Castrol, Mobil, Pennzoil and Valvoline.

The right tires depend on your vehicle type, driving habits and seasonal conditions. Walmart’s Auto Care Center can help you find the best fit, whether you need all-season, performance or touring tires. We offer leading tire brands designed for durability, handling and safety. We also carry tires for electric vehicles that help optimize range and efficiency.

If you're unsure when to replace your tires, a good rule is to check tread depth every few months. Most tires should be replaced between 6,000–8,000 miles, depending on wear. We also offer lifetime balance and rotation services to help extend tire life.
