Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for conventional oil, or every 7,500 to 10,000 miles for full synthetic. However, the best schedule depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and the type of oil you use. If you do a lot of short trips, towing, or driving in extreme temperatures, you may need more frequent changes. Our service center in Sioux Falls can check your oil condition and help you set up a maintenance schedule. Call us at (605) 250-7474 to schedule your next oil change.
You can check your tire pressure with an inexpensive tire pressure gauge available at any auto parts store. Remove the valve cap from each tire, press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem, and read the PSI number. Compare it to the recommended pressure listed on the sticker inside your driver’s door jamb (not the number on the tire sidewall). Check your tires when they’re cold, ideally before driving. Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy, handling, and tire life. If you’re unsure, stop by our service center and we’ll check them for you at no charge.
Tire rotations are generally recommended every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, or about every other oil change. Regular rotation ensures even tread wear across all four tires, which extends their life and keeps your vehicle handling safely. This is especially important in South Dakota where road conditions can vary with the seasons. Our service team at Frankman Motor Company can rotate your tires quickly and affordably.

Auto detailing goes far beyond a basic car wash. It’s a thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing process that covers every surface of your vehicle inside and out. At Frankman Motor Company, our detailing team handles everything from paint correction and ceramic coating to deep interior cleaning and leather conditioning. Whether you’re preparing your car for sale, protecting a new purchase, or just want your ride looking showroom-fresh, our Sioux Falls service center has you covered. We also offer dry ice blasting for engine bays and undercarriages – a specialty service that’s hard to find anywhere else in South Dakota.
Yes, an oil leak should be addressed as soon as possible. Even a small leak can quickly become a major problem. Oil lubricates critical engine components, and running low can cause overheating, increased friction, and eventually serious engine damage that costs thousands to repair. Oil leaking onto hot engine parts can also create a fire hazard. If you notice oil spots under your car, a burning smell while driving, or your oil level dropping between changes, bring it into our service center at Frankman Motor Company right away. Our technicians in Sioux Falls can diagnose the source of the leak and get it fixed before it turns into something bigger. Call us at (605) 250-7474 to schedule an appointment.
Brake pulsation is that shaking or vibrating feeling you get in the steering wheel or brake pedal when you slow down. The most common cause is warped or unevenly worn brake rotors. This happens over time from heat buildup during heavy braking, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when driving down steep hills. Other causes can include worn brake pads, stuck calipers, or debris caught between the pad and rotor. South Dakota’s temperature swings from summer heat to winter cold can accelerate rotor wear. If you’re feeling pulsation when you brake, don’t ignore it – it affects your stopping distance and safety. Our service team at Frankman Motor Company can inspect your brakes and let you know whether you need a rotor resurface or replacement. Schedule a brake inspection at (605) 250-7474.
Regular tire rotation is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of your tires and keep your vehicle handling safely. Front and rear tires wear differently because of steering, braking, and weight distribution. Without rotation, your front tires will wear out much faster than the rears, meaning you’ll need to replace them sooner and spend more money over time. Uneven tire wear also affects traction, especially on wet or icy South Dakota roads in winter. Most manufacturers recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, which lines up nicely with every other oil change. At Frankman Motor Company’s service center in Sioux Falls, we can rotate your tires quickly during a routine service visit. Give us a call at (605) 250-7474 or stop by – no appointment needed for a tire rotation.
