Here at Buckley's Auto Care, whether you're looking for an oil change Wilmington DE or need service down south in Millsboro, we've been helping our neighbors keep their cars running smoothly since 1966. Founded on July 6, 1966, by Gene Buckley, a true automotive enthusiast who was both a championship racer and a Firestone regional manager, our commitment to excellence began from day one. He instilled a passion for quality auto care that continues to thrive across three generations of family ownership, with Greg Buckley now at the helm.

Your engine oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It performs several critical functions: lubricating moving parts to reduce friction and wear, carrying heat away from the combustion chamber to prevent overheating, and cleaning the engine by picking up contaminants like dirt and metal particles. Over time, oil breaks down and loses its effectiveness, becoming less able to protect your engine. Neglecting regular oil changes can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, excessive engine wear, and eventually, costly repairs that could have been easily avoided. It's a small investment that pays huge dividends in the longevity and reliability of your car, truck, or SUV.
