  • 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.

    -Nathan B.

  • Great group of guys and great work, dealt with them all the time and they are always friendly.
    -Mike E.

  • We brought our truck here because the check engine light came on and it was not running quite right. These guys did the diagnostics & it turned out to be a misfire due to a worn out ignition component. All they did was replace all of the old and worn out components with new ones and our truck still starts and runs like new even with 254,000 miles. Thanks for all of your help, everything is still working top notch to this day!
    -Leon K.

  • I can’t say enough nice things about these guys. Thank you Carl for taking care of our F-350 at the last minute on our way back to Cincinnati. Great work at a super fair price. I would highly recommend.
    -Alyssa L.

  • We broke down coming home from a hunting trip out in Montana. They were able to look at it that night and had us back on the road early the next morning! Very friendly and fast service! Thank you so much for everything! It is very much appreciated!!!
    -Kristin M.

  • Thank you so much! Our water pump went out and no one could fit us in to replace it while headed down to Minneapolis. Not only did they make time in their schedule, but also provided us with rides to and from the shop. True sign of awesome client service, added to a job well done at a reasonable price...you have our two thumbs up!!!
    -Gail K.

  • Great customer service. Tirelessly worked to find the problem on our vehicle. Thank you!
    -Dana R.

  • I would like to say thank you to Becker Auto in Alexandria. We had our oil changed at an area dealership after work tonight and they said our serpentine belt was bad, would be over $250 to replace it, and would take over an hour. We thought we would stop by Becker Auto to see if they could fix it in the morning. It was 5:28 and they close at 5:30. They said let’s do it now. Thirty-five minutes later we were out the door for less than $100. Thank you so much!!
    -Larry S.

  • Great place and they are very helpful! I trust them completely which in this day and age is hard to find! I recommend them to everyone!
    -Kelly W.
