Dear Courtesy Car Care, Thank you for your excellent service & care. My ride back to the Springs was smoother than ever & I know I have you, at least in part, to thank for this. You have no idea how much it meant & continues to mean to me, that my windshield wipers actually work now!!! After two years of expensive investigation on this problem, the results I am now experiencing are priceless! I now understand why my brother-in-law, Jim, has long sung the praises of "Courtesy Car Care". Thank you again for all you did for me and an extra thank you for the "Starbucks" card!!! "Bindy" and I will enjoy a Mocha, with a side of whipped cream tomorrow!!! Thank you again, Deborah

Hi, I was in last week with my Expedition (from Oregon) and you fixed the turn signal problem I was experiencing--they wouldn't work the first thing in the morning. We're in mid-California now, close to Sacramento. Just letting you know that the turn signals haven't failed to work since the tech found and fixed the problem behind the fuse panel. Were very thankful for you getting to the root of the cause and actually fixing it. Please thank your tech for us. Jim. We would love to see you comments here!

Follow recomended maintenance. A well maintained vehicle operates at peak efficiency improving perfomance, gas mileage, and driveability. Clogged fuel injectors, dirty air cleaners, or malfunctioning oxygen sensors can decrease mileage as much as 40%.
Keep tires properly inflated. Under inflated tires take more energy to roll and they wear out quickly. This can cost 3% at the pump.
Don't haul unecessary items in the cab or trunk. An extra 100 lbs. can increase fuel consumption by 2%.
Don't drive aggressively, your not at Daytona. Smooth driving increases gas mileage and maximizes the life of brakes and tires. For each 5 mph over 65 mph your fuel efficiency decreases 7%.
Use the highest gear possible. Low gears get the car moving; but, use more gas. Once the car is up to speed use the highest gear to maintain it. Low gears use more gas so don't use the sport button. It keeps your car in lower gears longer.
Use cruise control in flat areas. Hilly or mountainous terrain cause the cruise control to over work your car and increase fuel consumption.
Keep you car washed and waxed. A smooth car slices through the air with minimal drag and maximum fuel economy.
When stopped for longer than a few minutes, turn off your car. You get zero gas mileage sitting still.
When you are at higway speeds the air conditioner is more efficient than the drag the open windows cause on the car. Open the windows when you are moving slow only.
Plan your trips. Combine your errands and minimize miles travelled and gas used. We hope this helps!
