In today’s economy, we talk to a lot of drivers who are not only trying to keep their vehicles longer, but also need to save money wherever they can. Motor and transmission are the two largest expenses that require regular maintenance. Check your owner’s manual for these critical items. These items are much less expensive things you can do to diminish the wear and tear on you motor and transmission—even extending the life of your car.

Oil Change - Driving in Arizona qualifies for “extreme” driving conditions because of the heat. An average driver could need four oil changes in a year. If the average cost is $30, that is inexpensive protection for your engine—a $3,000 (or more) item which you must protect.

Automatic Transmission - This is another $3,000 item on most cars and it requires even less maintenance. Make sure you give it a good flush when it needs one. (We can help you with that.)

Air filter - Your motor is a giant air pump and clean air is critical to long life and the best fuel economy possible. Imagine trying to run a race with your mouth or nose blocked. It’s possible, but it’s not easy. In the case of your car, replacing a clogged air filter can have a huge impact on fuel mileage

Fuel filter - Dirt is the archenemy of your engine's fuel system. A clean fuel filter is a great way to ensure trouble-free performance. Regular replacement of the fuel filter keeps pollutants from reaching the fuel injector(s) and possibly passing into the engine. (Check your owner's manual for recommended procedures and maintenance schedules.)
