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.

Absolute best place to take your car! I took my sons car in for brakes, rotors etc. Not only is the customer service great they beat another estimate by $150. They even gave me a tip on how to fix something else that needed fixing. Cant imagine taking my car anywhere else.

This is a great local auto repair shop in the Maple Valley, Kent-Covington, and Issaquah, WA. Very happy when I take any one of my vehicles there. They have done lots of work on my S-10, our Toyota Mini Van, my Toyota Prius and also our old Willys Jeep. Feel confident in this local shop!

I always feel like I can trust you guys to be honest with me, and the work is always done quickly and with quality, for a fair price. Since the first time I came there and thought I had something more expensive wrong with my car, and you could have sold me that fix, but instead made the much less expensive fix. You really earned our business. Thanks!

I took my high mileage 2005 Toyota Corolla in for a "transmission knock". I received a very comprehensive diagnosis and the service rep was very knowledgeable about my situation and more than willing to provide me with advice about making the repairs or start looking for another vehicle. I would use this repair shop again.

I was very pleased with the fair price, quality work, and friendly staff at Automotive Experts. I had my timing belt, transmission drain and filled, coil replaced, thermostat, water pump, and spark plugs serviced. My car runs great now and the engine light is off, I have driven over 300 miles since the service and all is good! Thanks guys :)

We've taken our car here several times. Customer service, honesty, and work is excellent. When they replaced our CV joints and the part turned out to be bad, they replaced it at no cost.
