Testimonials

Electrical Services, near Cedar Crest, Washington

Spears mechanics saved our road trip! They fit us into their schedule, diagnosed the problem (rodent damage to spark plug wire), installed the new part and fixed it in one day. They also checked the front brakes, confirmed a repair was needed but that it could wait until we got to Arizona. They definitely went above and beyond to help us out.

Installation of a water pump, pulleys, new belt on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta. Way under the price offered by the Stealership. Even better, 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty on all parts PLUS labor! No nonsense, strait and up-front council from Susan and Chris, only one day for complete service. Can't find better service or warranty anywhere in New Mexico. Diesel owners come here for service from 4 neighboring states.

I continue to be pleased and impressed with the work that's been done on my vehicle at Spears Auto during the last few years. Not only has the quality been evident, their concern, character, and knowledgeable intelligent approach has always made dealing with them a positive experience for me. (After all, bringing your vehicle to a mechanic can sometimes equate with bringing yourself to the dentist.) Many thanks to each one of you at Spears.

Talk about guys who know their diesel trucks! They took care of us in a pinch and we couldn't be happier with the price and quality of work! Highly recommend Spear's Auto Center to anybody who drives a vehicle in the East Mountain area!

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.
