    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.

    • What People Say About Us

    Excellent service, OEM parts and no clones. Knowledgeable and competent with no nonsense. Happy to recommend to my colleagues, friends and acquaintances.


    -R. W.

    Carlos and Doug provided us with helpful professional guidance in determining how to handle a potential serious electronic problem and then completed the repair with utmost proficiency. During a previous routine oil service and maintenance inspection they had noted that the shocks were severely leaking and that front control arms were demonstrating signs of wear and play. We had this work done at the same time. The drive is much smother now with the suspension work completed, new tires and an alignment. Thanks!


    -R. F.

    Nice guys, conscientious, and the repairs were perfect!


    -C. R.

    Efficient and personal service.


    -D. L.

    Great service and communication. Highly recommended.


    -W. V.

    Carlos and his crew were fantastic. Very honest and keep me informed all of the way through the repairs. Highly Highly Recommend this company for your auto repairs.


    -B. Q.

    Have been coming here for too many years to count. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else.


    -J. K.

    First class communication. Excellent diagnosis and fully warranted repair.


    -S. P.

    I have entrusted my vehicles to AEF for more years than I can remember now - from basic oil service and preventative maintenance to more complex mechanical or technical issues. This time around we had a very elusive key off battery drain issue that Hans and the AEF team worked on tirelessly until the problem was solved. All along the way I was kept informed of the "investigation" progress. The problem was solved and am once again confident that the car will not leave us stranded. Superb service and technical expertise as always. I would not have had this successful an experience elsewhere, especially at the auto dealership.


    -R.

    They know their stuff and have proven to me so many times to be trustworthy!


    -Casey S.

    They AEF Team always makes sure my car is fixed properly.


    -Hans H.

    I don't write many reviews, but I had to in this case. Words can't really express how pleased I am with the service I received from the whole team at Auto Fuel and Electric! I wanted to do a major refurbish on my 95 Camry. I love the car and wanted to keep it as long as possible. I was also on a time table to get it done. Once Doug, Hans & Aki got the vehicle evaluated, it turned out to be a great deal more work than we originally planned. Despite that, they did everything I requested (And believe me, that was alot!) and finished on time. I know they all put in a bunch of overtime to make sure I hit the road on time for the trip I had planned! The car runs and rides like new and my wife and I couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend them for any of your car care needs! Thanks guys!


    -Mark M.

    My family has been taking our vehicles to Auto Electric and Fuel for over 20 years. I took my truck in to have them assess what work needed to be done on my Silverado based on a report I received from a Chevy dealership. Carlos was amazing in answering all my questions and checking into every aspect with full detail and informing me what needed to be fixed now, what could wait, and what did not need to be fixed. Carlos and his crew were quick in diagnosing and fixing the issues that needed to be taken care of, in an honest and authentic way. I felt comfortable the entire time and was never pressured into making any decisions. Now I have my truck back and it is running amazing! Thank you.
