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

One of the BEST shops in town! The staff is courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable about vehicle repairs.
-Tovon H.
In Novi, the best auto repair shop around. I have been going there for almost 20 yrs!!
-Robin W.
Thought it about time I added my two cents in support of a trustworthy and honest business. We've been using Dave's services for over two decades now. He and his staff do first class work at a very reasonable price, and I would absolutely recommend you look here for your auto related maintenance and repair needs. You can trust C.A.R.S.
-Tim D.
I have been taking my vehicles for maintenance and repair to C.A.R.S. for many years. The owner, Dave, has many years of experience and has always been honest and fair with me about what needs to be fixed and the cost of the repairs. In my opinion, the quality of Dave's work has been superior and he strives for excellent customer satisfaction.
-Michael N.
Dave and Mike are very efficient. Fast service and very polite.

Highly recommend Cars of Novi for all your auto repairs - knowledgeable and trustworthy.
-Tina B.
Took my truck in and asked CARS to do some work on my Ford Expedition...Dave, the owner, recommended he take a look at things and get back to me before doing the work I'd asked for. Good thing. Turns out that my engine issues were far less extensive than I had figured and far less expensive. CARS did the repairs they suggested and fixed my issues, and for much less than I was planning. Thanks Dave, and CARS.

I have used this repair facility occasionally for 10 plus years. Each time I was treated very well and the work performed on the vehicles was done with care and professionalism!
-Danny J.
I've been servicing all my vehicles with Dave Smith / CARS OF NOVI for more than 16 years. During that time he also performed safety and service inspections on all the vehicles I sold from my company, Guaranteed Auto Sales which meant several hundred vehicles of all makes and models. I have always trusted David to deliver premier service at a reasonable cost and at aggressive competitive pricing. I will continue to service my family's vehicles and will always trust David's suggestion and upgrades to my personal fun ride a 76 Chevrolet Nova that I Drag Race in the Pro and Super Street classes with the NHRA. Dave is one of a kind and a true Gem in the Auto Repair and Race Car Prep and Build. He builds competitive street vehicles as well as pure Breed Drag Race and road race vehicles. It has always been a pleasure to do business with Dave.
