    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.

    I've been going to Alameda Auto Care for years now. They are professional and very reliable. Most importantly, David and his team are very honest.

Choosing a great mechanic is important - you owe is to yourself to check out Alameda Auto Care Center.


    -Steve M.

    This is my go to shop because it is very easy and convenient to make appointments and business is conducted in a quick, well organized, but informal manner so I get quality service from folks that are chill and pleasant to deal with.


    -Jerrell S.

    I have been a customer of the Alameda Auto Care Center for over 20 years and have referred many friends and associates to them over the years as they not only do quality work, but are both dependable and very reasonable in the cost for their work. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.


    -Richard N.

    David, Andy, Fred and the fellas are terrific. What a blessing to have this great shop in my neighborhood. From periodic maintenence to rooting out stubborn electrical mysteries these guys have taken care of business and they're super nice, too, even on days when they're swamped. Kudos!


    -John W.

    The Andy, Dave, and all the guys at Alameda Auto Care have always been fair, honest, and easy to do business with. I TRUST them which says a lot. When they tell me something I am confident it?s accurate to the absolute best of their ability. I trust and like them so much now I have my sons and my parents going to them as well. They are the best!!


    -Robert B.

    David you're the best i'm so glad my papa told me to come to you! you've been so helpful with everything i need and get it done it a timely fashion thanks so much see you soon!


    -Jayla V.

    David and Andy run their shop based on this very simple, yet often overlooked principal: prompt, genuine, professional service. They are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced- you can believe they will properly diagnose your vehicle?s problem(s) and fix it/them for a price that is fair (and well below a dealership!). I?ve been taking my 2004 Nissan Xterra to them for years - scheduled maintenance, squeaky brakes, and a few other things you can expect in a 14-year old car. Several times I have taken my car in for a sound and wasn?t charged one dime when they didn?t find anything wrong! They send text reminders for service and even give $ off your next service. I have never been told ?Call and make an appointment, we are too busy this week? and I appreciate that most.


    -Amanda S.

    The team at Alameda Auto Care are smart, professional, honest and appreciative of their customers. They've been working on our family's vehicles for years now. David and team always walk me through the issue, why it's important and what it will cost. Be sure to include them on your "short list" for anything related to your automotive needs.


    -Steve M.

Never have we felt uncomfortable with their service , but always pleased. We will continue to trust the care of our vehicles with David and his staff , all consummate mechanics .

    -John D.

    Andy/David and his entire team are very dedicated to their craft. They are consultative, patient, and cover all possible alternatives as best as they can before you commit to a job or give them the green light to work on your car. They endure all costs and potential costs & repairs are covered in advance. They go above and beyond the minimum and will work with you i.e. they may replace fluids and do minor touch ups etc if the bill is a substantial amount. They?ll cut u a break as best as they can. Like any relationship, they work in building rapport & trust with you. This is a win win for the customer and shop! I?m happy to refer others to Alameda Auto Care! They are worth my time, money and their work provides me a ton of peace of mind!
