Vehicle tips
- According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
- The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
- Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
- Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
- Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
- A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
- Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
- Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
- Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
- Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
- Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
- Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
- Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
- Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
- Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
- Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
- Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
- Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
- Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
- Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Testimonials

AMAZINGLY FAST SERVICE! I thought I had a million and one problems and turns out I just needed a new battery! Not only was he able to give me a diagnostic in a day and fix it the next! I didn't know magic was included in the car fixing process. I've found my main mechanic thank you so much!!!!

Friendly people, great communication. Cost is reasonable/average rates. As a woman we often feel like mechanic'stey to take advantage of us, well not here. I reccomend them because they're completely upfront and you can see that they can be trusted in the way they break down/ explain the steps they took/take to complete the repairs.
Mary W., 06/20/2023
I highly recommend bringing your vehicle here! My vehicle had been having overheating issues, these guys were able to diagnose the issue very quick, and also kept communication with me through the process, which I greatly appreciated, because not many businesses do. If you want great service, bring your car here!
Eddie V,, 08/02/2023
STOP HERE! These guys will 150% take care of you. I was on the 215 and my Subaru Forester was overheating. I needed an emergency mechanic, these guys happen to be down the street from where I exited. I called first and they said "Yes, bring it! We'll take care of you". And they really did, I was 1 hour and 30 mins away from home and really needed the help. Not only did they find the issue (loose radiator hose & possibly bad thermostat) they did it with a smile and an awesome attitude! I especially appreciate Sam and Carlos. Good guys like them are hard to find. Thank you guys for getting me back on the road ASAP! I made it home safe and sound. Oh and they had VERY competitive pricing.
