They always do a great job on the repairs, offered at a great price, and they get the repairs done quickly… A personal thank you to the owner/manager Quenton for getting my car in when I needed the repairs done quickly.

I've been to Rad Air before and was happy with the service… an oil change place couldn't remove the bolts to get the skid plate off my vehicle. I took it to Rad Air and they didn't charge extra for that. I'll use them again.

Akron Oil Change FAQs

Where can I get an oil change near me in Akron?
If you're searching for an oil change near you, Rad Air is at 1200 West Portage Trail in Akron's Merriman Valley — serving Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Stow and all of Summit County. Every oil change includes a free multi-point inspection.
How often should I change my oil?
Most vehicles need an oil change every 3,000 to 7,000 miles, depending on whether you use conventional or full-synthetic oil and how you drive. We'll recommend the right interval for your car.
Conventional, synthetic-blend or full-synthetic — which do I need?
It depends on your vehicle and manufacturer's requirements. Full-synthetic lasts longer and protects better in extreme temperatures; we use exactly what your car calls for.
Do I need an appointment for an oil change?
You can book online or call ahead, and walk-ins are welcome when we have space. Booking guarantees the quickest turnaround.
What else do you check during an oil change?
Every oil change includes a free multi-point inspection of your brakes, fluids, tires, battery and belts — part of staying ahead with regular maintenance.
Do you do other basic car care too?
Yes — wiper blades, light bulbs, air and cabin filters, battery checks and fluid top-offs. We handle the basics so your car stays safe between bigger services.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every service at Rad Air Akron is backed by our 36-month/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) parts and labor warranty against faulty workmanship, parts or materials. Routine items like oil and filters are consumables, but the workmanship is always guaranteed. See our full warranty for details.
