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.

Testimonials

I purchased a 1977 El Camino a few years ago, and it needed some attention to get it running smoothly again. It also needed a face-lift, so I stopped in at Auto Performance to see what they had to say. Rick was very helpful and provided the knowledge necessary to get the vehicle looking and running great! I am very pleased with their efforts at Auto Performance, especially the subtle ideas to improve the look and driving of my vehicle. Rick was very upfront with all the necessary improvements and costs involved. I highly recommend Rick and his team for your car needs. Thanks guys.
-Jim H.
My second visit to this shop. First one was for a repair to my tailgate which they repaired very professionally and I was impressed. However, I didn't know they also did lube and oil change until today. Great price for synthetic oil. I will be back whenever I need any type of vehicle service.
-Wes
Rick and his team did an excellent job on replacing the exhaust system on our 2009 Mustang. There were a couple of questions that came up and Rick was quick to call and get the go ahead on the resolution to the issues. He was able to complete the work with in the short time frame that we had. Excellent work, Great atmosphere, customer service is heads above what most places provide today. We will return for many more enhancements to the vehicle.
-Terry S.
This is my very first review I have ever written in my life so that alone says something about this place. One word describes this place best " flawless". My very first visit to Ricks shop and it was like I've known them for years. Remarkable knowledge about vehicles. He has a mixture of old school tech's with just enough new school technology to lap the competition twice! If you want a repair shop that is for the people this is your place. Tight on budget but need the job done right? This is your place. I have done my own repairs since I was 13 years old...I don't trust anyone with my vehicles until I came to this place!!! I recommend this shop to everyone! They fix absolutely everything! One stop shop, in and you are out the door blink and you would have missed something. This will become my families number 1 shop for generations to come. If you have never been here dont miss out. Nobody and I mean nobody has beaten his work or prices.
-Charles W.
I made the drive up from Greenwood to Rick's shop in Easley because I know I can trust him and his crew to do reliable work at a reasonable price. My Malibu has quite a few miles on it, but the Auto Performance team treated it--and me--like we were the most valuable project on their list. Thanks, guys!
-Claire F. K.
RICK AND HIS CREW DID A GREAT JOB ON MY VAN, THEY FIXED ALL MY PROBLEMS AND WORKED ABOVE AND BE ON AND AROUND MY SCHEDULE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE AND WILL
-Mike R.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Rick. He and his crew do a fanrtastic job. Rick takes the time to explain everything he is going to do. He called me gave me quotes before he did any work. Being a single mom and my son in college that meant a lot. He has worked on my son's car now a couple of times and has it running great! Check with Rick and get a quote! You will not regret it!
