410-675-4338According 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.

Finally! I am, so happy I discovered the brilliant services of Bill and his team. My first service request with them was an unforgettable experience. I was told to arrive at 8 am and I was there on time. I was told the service I needed would take about half an hour. I was done in twenty minutes. But, best of all, Bill explained everything to me and for the first time, I understood car maintenance. LOL. Did I mention the supreme hospitality while I waited? That will be the next review!! I am soooooooo pleased!!

Had a slow leak in my tire, called in the morning and had options and pricing within a few hours. Jason explained the options and my tire was fixed within the hour. Great customer service and reasonable prices!

Yikes!! I have had two good repair services in the past. This last experience, which lasted two full days, was frustrating, and one signal repair problem remains, although the billing invoice says otherwise. I will be staying away.

I moved out of Baltimore and my 1996 Civic is in car heaven, but thank you Nicolas Fleet Shell for always providing excellent service, a fair price, and an honest, friendly business. You set the standard for auto service shops.

I have to say that the 20+ years I have lived in this neighborhood, I have always used Fleet St Shell for my car repairs, because they are excellent at what they do. They are always helpful and courteous and really go out of their way to accommodate customers! A great place to go!
