Vehicle Tips
According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.)
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
-
Vehicle Tips
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
-
Vehicle Tips
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
-
Vehicle Tips
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

THEY ARE AWESOME! I was stranded in Columbia, SC and had my van towed as far as I could and ended up here. They repaired parts that was supposed to be replaced here in Wilmington, NC. They were very understanding of my situation. They kept me up to date on what was going on and they were up front as honest. I mainly dealt with a guy named Frazier. Please. If you need work on your vehicle, check with them. You will be glad you did.

The only mechanic I would let touch my car outside of me. They make sure what he says is wrong is the problem. It helps that everybody is super nice.

Three hours from home, on our way to Disney World, our check engine light came on. Thank God we quickly found this shop online! 15 minutes until closing on Friday night, they welcomed us warmly, checked our vehicle, ensured our safety, and got us back on our way. These are good people.

I believe I have finally found an Automotive Shop that I can completely trust. Woodard's evaluated the problems with my car and worked with me to establish priorities. I found all the staff to be very professional and accommodating.

First time we have used Woodard's and ended up bringing our other cars there, too. We love their efficient repair service and great customer service. They all the lastest technology to service any problem that we have brought them. Our engine light has been on for years and over 3 different shops couldn't fix it. But Woodard's did!
-Sarah G. -
Woodards Automotive is one of the best in Florence!! Thank you so very much for fixing my car after a shade tree mechanic messed it up..If you want it done right..take it to Woodards!!
-Sally S. -
Woodard's Automotive has been very fare. You can get comprehensive and thorough work performed on your car or you can get a cheap price, you can't get both. I've had several issues fixed on my 1998 Park Avenue. Jeff explained the problems he discovered and allowed me to decide what needed to be fixed so my car would be safe to drive and what issues could wait. All work completed has been backed by the shop and any problems fixed promptly and at no additional charge. I wouldn't take my car anyplace else.
