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.
What our clients say about us?
Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers
They go above and beyond to help. Wendy at the front desk explains everything so well, which I especially appreciate as someone who isn't very car literate. They're communicative and patient about answering questions and helping you get to the best solution for you. I'm very grateful to have them as my go-to auto shop!
Morgan Hederstedt Weaver, 11/13/2024
The staff here are really friendly. They take the time to explain everything about the car in detail. Even though they couldn’t fix it right away (probably because they had a lot of other customers), they did a perfect job as soon as the parts arrived, even test driving it to make sure everything was good. I was especially grateful that, unlike other shops that might charge extra, this place (at least in my case) gave me a much more affordable and reasonable price than expected. I hope they continue serving the local community for a long time, and I definitely recommend this shop!

Honest, Reliable, Fair, and Hardworking is how I would describe the team at Swanson’s who addressed and fixed all the issues with my vehicle. Mike was able to address any questions or concerns I had as well as making sure I had reliable transportation to and from work while my vehicle was being serviced by his team. They did an excellent job and I’ll be back in the future.

I'm not used to posting reviews online but Swanson's deserves a good review. I'm a new driver and not quite knowledgeable about cars. The team at Swanson's were very accommodating, very professional and honest about wants going on with my car. Swanson's will definitely be my go to for car maintenance and issues. Thank you for providing us a great service! God bless you!

Very professional and fair. Needed brakes and they told me that I only needed to replace the rear brakes. Front ones were still fine. Saved me a few hundred bucks. Scheduled an appointment and three hours later my car was ready with the brakes done. Could not ask for anything more. If I ever have any car issues, I know exactly where to bring it.

Hands down the best. I've been going here for years and will continue to. Honest. Quick. Reasonable. And quality work.
