We didn’t start out towing cars. The first two years at Silver Lake Oil, we confined our services to our shop in Oconomowoc. Within two years, we saw that having a tow truck would make us even more convenient to our customers. We saw that we could come out into the community to meet you where you need us: on the road. Whether the engine won’t turn over or you’ve just been in a collision, our drivers will arrive as soon as possible. We know there’s nothing worse than being stranded! After we carefully hook up your vehicle to our truck, we can take you wherever you need to go. If what you need is quality vehicle repair, we can offer to bring your car back to any one of our four locations: Hartland, Brookfield, Oconomowoc and New Berlin. Our ASE-certified technicians will help diagnose the issue and offer their opinion on the services that will get you back on the road. Our staff is always dedicated to your customer satisfaction. Call us today at (262) 510-2012!

Preventing Breakdowns

After our customers have called us for a tow once, whatever the reason, they tend to ask how they can prevent needing us in the future. How can they prevent engine failure, a blown tire, or any number of things that can leave you stranded on the side of the road? Some vehicle issues are unavoidable, but with regular preventative maintenance, you can make them less likely. Our technicians put together a list of the most important services to keep your vehicle in peak performance.

Oil Changes

Oil changes make a huge difference in the performance of your vehicle. If you go too long between visits, your oil can become thicker, darker, and even pick up bits of debris as it cycles through your engine. Old oil can begin to clog parts of your engine and eventually even prevent it from running altogether.

Tire Rotations

Regular tire rotations ensure each of your tires is wearing evenly. If it is not rotated, a tire will experience all of its stress in the same area, and that area will become weaker. The weak area will be much more vulnerable to a blow-out. Regular rotation means the stress is evenly distributed, so your tires wear evenly.

Our technicians include brake checks on every regular maintenance plan because they are essential to the safety of your vehicle. Your ability to stop quickly and safely will be your best chance to avoid a collision. Avoiding collisions is the best way to avoid needing a tow! Especially in New Berlin, Wisconsin, the roads are dangerous for many months out of the year, and they are even more dangerous if you can’t stop safely.
