    Summer Car Care Tips

    Engine Performance -- Get engine drivability problems (hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected. Replace dirty filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.).

    Fuel -- Ensure maximum power and performance with FuelKare fuel system cleaner.  The FuelKare™ system pulse cleans the fuel rail and fuel lines; removes soft carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, induction passages, on the intake valves, and in the intake manifold. A two stage process, engine off, engine on, ensures a thorough and effective cleaning. The result is restored engine performance and reduced vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.

    Oil -- Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual; more often (every 3,000 miles or so) if your driving is mostly stop-and-go or consists of frequent short trips.

    Cooling System --The cooling system should be flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended.) The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps, and hoses should be checked by one of our pros.

    Air Conditioning System -- When summer's brutal heat beats down it is always nice to have the luxury of Ice Cold air conditioning.  Whether your A/C is performing poorly or not working at all, our technicians can diagnose and repair most any A/C system.  If needed we can make custom replacement hoses, and repair A/C on fleet/heavy duty vehicles as well.

    Battery -- The only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment. Routine care: scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; re-tighten all connections. If battery caps are removable, check fluid level monthly.

    Lights -- Inspect all lights and bulbs; replace burned out bulbs; periodically clean road grime from all lenses. To prevent scratching, never use a dry rag.

    Tires -- Worn tires will be of little use in any weather. Examine tires for remaining tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. Check tire pressure once a month. Let the tires "cool down" before checking the pressure. Rotate as recommended. Don't forget your spare, and be sure the jack is in good condition.

    Honest Mechanic

    July 22, 2005

    Chuck and Jared have been repairing my vehicles for 4 years, now. The repairs are always done very well. They know what they are doing and have been able to find parts that seem impossible to find otherwise. If you need to find a mechanic that will get the job done right the first time, they are the one's to go to. They will not do unnecessary work to pad the bill. I do a lot of work on my own cars, but I would trust Chuck's with my cars any time. Another point that sticks out is that my cars are always returned to me with a clean interior. Never had I had grease on the steering wheel or dirty footprints on the floor, as I often had when I took them into dealers.

    You can't find two nicer guys. They even snow plow my driveway for free! Yes, they are good mechanics, but really generous men too!
