403-291-6155According 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.
Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers
I love this place!! Imagine visiting a repair shop where they actually listen and are so honest! Before WRENCHES that was was hard to find. Jay and his team are phenomenal! Extremely helpful, extremely fair, and will only charge you for what you truly need! They really take care of you, your car, and their reputation. Highly highly recommended!!

This shop is the best shop I've been to, I went based on a friend's recommendation and now family and friends go there too. They remember you, they remember your vehicle and they remember what they have done for you. They are very very honest and only do what needs to get done and tell you what can wait. My air fan stopped working and due to my schedule I couldn't get it in right away. I went a month without air conditioning, a very hot month. When I took it they told me it was only an unplugged wire. They plugged it in and had me on my way, any other place would have taken advantage of the situation but not Wrenches. Thank you for everything! You have saved me over and over again!

Jay's is honest and accommodating and would try his best to fit you in. He has staff but because of his good reputation, you'd best call ahead of time to book an appointment. He selects good parts and honestly tells you if a fix is needed or not (at no cost). I sometimes sit at the armchairs working on my computer while waiting for the job to be done.

Awesome service! I've been several times over the past 5 years or so and have always been treated fairly. I've referred my family and colleagues and they're extremely happy. Honest, doesn't overcharge and is there when you need him no matter if the job is big or small.
