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.

4x4 Services, near Port Charlotte, FL

I was stranded at the mall after I backed out of a parking spot but the gearshift locked in neutral and could not move the gearshift at all. After many tries I called Jarrett Ford, who I had been using since I moved to Florida years ago. When I explained the problem to the service department they informed me no tow service available and no hope to service my car for 2 weeks to a month. Now what, well AAA had a list of recommended auto repairs so with the help of a mechanic who lifted the hood, put the transmission in drive manually and also suggested A&E in Port Charlotte, off I went. Upon arrival I was greeted, welcomed and offered a ride home, if I could wait for a bit. They quoted a solution and price, hopefully with results within a day. I trusted my car to this family owned business and was not surprised when I was informed the next day that my car was ready. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND A&E Auto Repair. I expected the best and got it, fast, fair and affordable.

Alignment, near Port Charlotte, FL

Was 1st time taking my truck there. needed an alignment and some other work done. The work was done in a timely manner. Quality of work was above par, they send you text alerts with pics of what they are doing also. Shala was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable...plus she was cute lol.. would highly recommend them.

Heating and Cooling Services, near Port Charlotte, FL

This is our first time having auto repair at A & E, their 5 star reviews are spot on. Had over heat problem, they diagnosed and repaired promptly sending updates with pictures during the process. Shala is awesome, thanks for the exceptional service!

John Puricelli, 01/05/2022
Collision Repair Services, near Port Charlotte, Florida

This is the second time we have used A & E. In both auto repairs, the service was exceptional. The promised date for completion of the repairs were met. The car looked fantastic and like new. The estimate was slightly more than the actual bill. Five stars for service, customer satisfaction, & customer service.

Bob Weiss, 11/30/2021
General Services, near Port Charlotte, Florida

I have brought my vehicles here several times and have always had a positive experience. They are honest, dependable, and appreciate your business. In my opinion, you are better off using a local independent repair shop, as opposed to the new vehicle dealerships. I would definitely recommend this repair shop, I will return for any future service.
