    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.

    Been going to this garage for a long time. They are a great group of people, are honest, fair, and have always gone above and beyond to help me out. I have always appreciated everything they have done and best of all their quality of work is excellent. I recommend them to anyone who needs automotive work!

    Ran out of gas in front of the garage while he was closed. Someone just happened to be there and was gracious enough to find a gallon of gas for us!

    Leighton's was recommended to us! I called on a Tuesday because I discovered my inspection was over due. I was greeted with a warm, happy voice over the phone. I was quickly put on the schedule for Thursday! Dana and Lisa were both extremely friendly and treated me like I had been a customer for years. We will certainly be return customers.

    This has been my go to garage for a few years now. Sometimes it's hard to find a mechanic that you can trust. Dana and his crew have been honest with me at every turn. Their prices are competitive, and they've always been willing to work with me to get my car in ASAP when the repair couldn't wait. I have full confidence in their work, and in the way they do business.

    I discovered this shop this year. It's because of all the positive reviews I started going here. I used another garage, and although they were nice, they took 10 days to work on my truck. Staffing. I've been here for inspections, oil changes, tire rotations, the usual maintenance. The labor is reasonable, the work is reliable, the staff is great. I plan on using this garage for my maintenance and upkeep. It's hard to find a good shop like this one.
