    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • 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.

  • WIll be a regular at the Car Doc - just moved to Michigan. Great service. Thank you Subbu & Team


    -Adarsh A.

  • Number one thing when looking for a mechanic is honesty. Car Doc has this quality nailed. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely recommend!


    -Curtis C.

  • I can always stop by and no my car will be looked at quickly. My vehicle is always fixed on the day of appointment and fixed correctly. Great place to take your car.


    -Everett S.

  • Very honest and helpful. Would highly recommend. Did an excellent job!


    -Vera G.

  • It was excellent experience having taken the car for starting problems, Mr. Subbu accommodated next day. He diagnosed and fixed the issue. Recommended additional maintenance to keep the vehicle for long term use.


    -Chandra K.

  • Had some really bad grinding going on with the brakes, even though they were all new, but I installed. Car Doc found the problem, and fixed while I waited, on a Sunday! Price was good for a good amount of work that had to get done.


    -Gary M.

  • Had a transmission rebuild and these guys took care of it. Price was solid and his auto repair team knew their stuff. Saved me money on a part which worked out nicely. Good company here.


    -Brandon S.

  • Highly Recommend!!! We take our vehicles to Subbu @ Car Doc. He is prompt, competitive in his pricing, and most of all, honest. We have several vehicles of different makes and models (new and old) in our work fleet and our personal vehicles. Car Doc has provided services to each one - from regular oil changes, diagnostics, and parts replacement. Car Doc has kept us in reliable transportation. Finding a good mechanic these days isn't easy, and we are very happy we found Car Doc.


    -Amy W.

  • Called in early Morning to see if they could fit me in to take a look at my service van. He described in detail what the issue was and he stayed open late to get the van repaired. I really appreciated it since I have my clients that depend on me?. Would recommend to family and friends.


    -Sulaiman S.

  • I brought my 07 mustang that had a nasty coolant leak and car doc was able to quickly diagnose and order parts and repair the vehicle in a timely manner. The owner was extremely professional and thorough and it was top notch work. 10/10 would come again
