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

Awesome service, brought my car there on a Wednesday and needed it back by Thursday. Somebody stayed overtime to ensure I would have my car back. They called me with updates multiple times which was very appreciated. 100% recommend.

I?ve used Chris?s auto for the last 15 years for 4 of my cars.They are one of the few auto services that don?t try to sell you service you don?t need. I can always trust them to give me an accurate and honest assessment of what my cars need. I called my Toyota dealer recently to inquire about when to flush my 2018 Toyota?s coolant system and was told every 30,000 miles or 2 years. I checked my users manual which stated every 100,000 or 120 months. I asked how much to just eyeball it and see if it looked like it needed it and was told $150 I went to Chris?s got my overflow reservoir topped off, reassured I won?t need to flush till 100,000 miles and they didn?t even charge me. You can?t find people like them these days! Cliff L

You can?t possibly find a nicer, more honest, qualified mechanic/ business on the planet. They are such a pleasure to deal with for unpleasant auto issues.

Where to begin....Chris and Christine are exemplary in every department !!! I use there service for business and personnel. I have written reviews for great service in the past but none as deserving as this company. I highly recommend and only wish more businesses conducted themselves in the same professional manner.

Chris and Christine go above and beyond for their customers, exceptional service, friendly and most importantly honest. Thank you!

I don?t write many reviews, but having been a business owner myself I know the importance of stellar service. I have been going to them for several years for my beat up little Ford Fiesta, my Jaguar, my moms Mercedes, my sons pick up??etc. I felt compelled to shout this out because in the 44 years I?ve been driving, I have NEVER had the experience of car repairs that this business has shown. Aside from excellent service, I never once felt I was overcharged or taken advantage of. In fact, on several occasions, with my little warrior Fiesta they listed all the things it needed and right out told me it was time to retire it. It would be a waste of money to sink into it, especially when I?m just starting to get back in my feet from financial hardship. They could have easily worked on one thing, then the next and so on because it was still drivable and I could have sunk so much $ that wasn?t worth repairing. Bottom line is everyone there is truly honest, very profession, the ladies in the office are always so friendly and greet everyone with a warm welcome. I know this is a long review, I can?t say enough about them because we rely on our vehicles for everything and when you have a trusted mechanic, that to me is as important as your Doctor. I will never go elsewhere, so grateful I found them! Thank you!
