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.

Golf Crawford Auto Service is a very reliable and professional shop. Chris, owner and manager, is very customer friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the cars. I took my Mercedes on a recommendation from a friend and very happy about the work done. Chris has provided honest estimates with clear explanations and the Golf Crawford team has performed an excellent job on my car. Strongly recommend Golf Crawford Auto Service.
Great service with a quick turnaround! Got a bunch of work done in the same day Chris was detailed about repairs and upfront about pricing, including letting me know what I needed to fix now and what could wait. Will definitely be back.
If you happen to be taking your car to a dealership for service you are doing yourself a huge disservice! Golf Crawford Auto Service is trusted by myself and my family implicitly. Chris is the type of businessman you rarely see these days. He goes out of his way to take care of his customers. He is direct and honest, which is such a pleasure. He tells me what needs my immediate attention and what is necessary. Golf Crawford Auto Service is a gem of a business and I would encourage everyone to visit them for your next automobile servicing needs. Once you've been you will have found you won't be going anywhere else.
Chris is awesome. He answered all of my questions. The car runs great! Very reasomably priced. Thank you guys!!!
If I could give 6 stars I would. Chris got me out of a situation with my sons Mazda 3. An Internet entity made a repair on his TCM and it didn't take. The internet company wouldn't take responsibility for their botched up repair. Chris and company stepped in and made the appropriate and proper repair. Thanks!
Chris, Armando and Alex (and the others) are great! They took very good care of the 14 year-old lady for the last 10 or so years. Always excellent work, friendly service and attention to the customers' needs. A very positive experience! Many thanks!!
These people do an outstanding job. Fixed my a/c on time and it works great. I give them an A plus
Chris has been taking care of our family cars for years. This small shop is the Gem of the community. Honesty With a commitment to customer satisfaction is the way they treat all customers. All repairs are done right the first time with great pricing. If you bring your car here, rest assured you will continue going back for many years to come. Thank you Chris and crew for all the years of great service. See you soon.
Golf Crawford Auto Service came highly-recommended, so we first gave them a try a few years ago. They did a great job at a reasonable price, so we returned a second time. Several years later, after repeatedly experiencing the integrity, professionalism, and consistently outstanding customer service of Chris and his team, we plan to stick around for a while. We consider Golf Crawford Auto Service to be "our mechanic".
