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.
Had a hard time finding a place that would fix my AC. Thank you Thomas for fixing my car on such a short notice! He got my AC blowing cold again in no time and also recommended some future repairs, all at a reasonable price, even included a veterans discount if you're a vet. I highly recommend these guys
Knowledgeable, honest guys! When I take my car there I know I'm not going to be taken for a ride and have things done that don't need to be. Highly recommend Garrigan's!
Needed to get my fuel pump replaced and they did a fantastic job! Thomas kept me updated the whole time and never his anything from me on how it was going. I drive a camaro and that is not an easy fix but they got it done rather quick and even charged me much less than other places. Will be going back if and when I need an honest reliable mechanic. Thanks guys!
Top notch ASE certified mechanics. Honest, reliable and fair. I'm a lifer. Been going to Garrigan's since I discovered them on Ina Rd. It's hard to find a good mechanic these days. Thomas is the subject matter expert. Period.
I needed a new alternator. They were honest and fair about pricing and they got my car back to me in one business day. I would use their service again.
Thomas and Matt were great we were from out of town with an overheating car and they were glad to take us in and get us fixed up so that we could be on our way. The price was very fair especially for our situation, and they were very good at explaining what was wrong and what it took to fix it. It's always hard to find a knowledgeable trustworthy mechanic, and thank God we did!
