Vehicle Tips
According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.)
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
-
Vehicle Tips
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
-
Vehicle Tips
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
-
Vehicle Tips
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

My second time using this shop. Both have been great. Far pricing and excellent service. I highly recommend them. They were recommended by another Mechanic, great auto repair shop.

This is my favorite place to take my car. Local family owned and honest. Their prices are great too. I don't go anywhere else. They won't try and take advantage of you.

Fastest and cheapest in GR. I've been going to them for over 10 years and will probably go to them the rest of my lifetime in GR.

From out of town and had a slow leak on my tire. Called and they got us right in to fix it! Called 12 other places and no one would help us. Excellent customer service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!

I have uses this place for the last 3 years for all my oil changes and vehicle maintenance. Cheapest place in town that I know of. Very affordable. No job seems too big or small for them. Highly recommend it.

The team took care of my daughter as she was one of their own. They went the extra mile and replaced another item as they knew it was cause early wear and tear. It was in the quote given and had my daughter out before she had to go to work.They even offered to get her there if the vehicle wasn't ready. Please use this business as we will in the future. Nicely done.

Fast. Friendly. Affordable. Local. As a young woman in a city I am always anxious about taking my car in. When my brakes started doing something crazy I was panicked. All my family that knows about cars are hundreds of miles away and only so much can be done over the phone. I called Quality Tuesday afternoon and was on hold for a while but it wasn't anything unreasonable. Due to my work schedule I decided to bring in it at 8am Wednesday. As I handed my keys over I mentioned I had to work at noon and would like my car back as soon as possible. They were so understanding, even offering to drive me somewhere. I opted to wait the few hours it would take at a coffee shop a few blocks away. Within minutes they had my problem diagnosed and gave me a quote. They replaced my front wheel bearings, pads, and rotors in 3 hours for a reasonable and low price. I was able to drive to work and my anxiety has since dissipated. I'll definitely go back.

My Toyota Prius needed an ABS brake actuator installed, so I took it to Dave Parm and his team at Westside Garage. They treated me very well, and since he has now partnered with Quality Auto, you can bet you'll get the same top notched service!
