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.

This was the most efficient and honest shop I have ever been to. I was at a training in Vermont (traveled from NY) when my car problems started. I ended up having it towed to the shop and not only did they approve the tow and reassure me as long as we communicate then everything will go smoothly with no storage charges and so on. They ran a diagnostic and didn't push anything unnecessary on me for my vehicle. They were very fast and very great at communicating!

Thank you so much New England Automotive and Ken Paquette! You were awesome and my 2015 Honda Fit thanks you too. Tried to post this to Google reviews but it didn't let me use my name. Used my work organization, Natural Resources Board!

The customer service here is outstanding. I haven't had any issues since my repairs (2/22, about 9 months ago) and everything seems to be working great still. My truck was with them for about 4/5 days, and in that time they changed my oil, changed out my break lines, did an undercarriage coating and I believe they changed out some of my breaks. They don't hesitate to connect and talk about things before taking action, and they even check in (a real person) by text to make sure things are still running ok some time after repairs.

12 yrs. ago I moved in from NY needing to acquire all new necessary service providers, mechanic included. Taking the direct approach, I visited NEA and spoke with Dustin, the owner. I explained how my work took me out of state weeks at a time, & needed to place my family in the hands of an honest mechanic who would care for them in my absence. I asked, "Are you my new mechanic?" With a smile, Dustin replied, "I would like to think so." From his friendly nature, I believed I had met somebody I could trust, which is the biggest hurdle in mechanic selection. NEA has not only met my challenge of honest watch care over my family, their complete auto knowledge is remarkable. You can trust they have your best interest in mind always. My auto mechanic, and staff, have been more than service providers, they have been my friends for these many years.
