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.

Peter and his team are the very best that Manhasset vehicle owners have to help them maintain their vehicles. Plandome Service Center recently moved across the street to a completely updated shop that provides his team and your car with all the right tools. The new facility is beautiful and can make waiting for your vehicle a very pleasant experience. We would highly recommend Peter, Dennis and the rest of the team to anyone who wants fast, professional and honest service. They have always come thru for us in a pinch and we know they would do the same for you too.

I continue to use them even though I moved out of the area, why, because I trust them! Although this was a simple inspection and oil change, they had my wife in and out of there without issue. (I called the day before for an appointment ). Great bunch of guys who care about doing the right thing!

I needed a last minute annual safety inspection and they were able to accommodate me the following day. They said it might take up to 2 1/2 hours. Imagine my surprise when I got a text from them 1 1/2 later saying the car was ready and they found no additional work was needed. How often does that happen? Even better, the text message contained exactly was was done as well as pics of dings to the car they noticed. They also said they will send me a text/email reminder next year when the next inspection is due. I like it that they seem to be using technology to improve customer satisfaction. They also said they have the equipment to handle Hondas, so I might just give them a call next time something goes wrong since the neighborhood Honda dealers have not gotten exemplary reviews.

I am a Physician and practice across the street from Plandome Service Center. Peter and Dennis are the friendliest, most helpful people you would ever hope to entrust your car with. I found them to be honest, reliable and efficient. It is so refreshing to find a neighborhood service station that you can feel comfortable leaving your car with and getting great attention and honest service and advice. I fully trust Plandome Service Center and recommend them highly. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
