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.

Had a freak accident, and brought my car to Swanson's. Everyone was so helpful and kept me updated on my vehicle. Spoke with Wendy and Justin, both were super friendly. The work done on my vehicle was awesome, and really happy about the honesty. Definitely be back! Thanks again.

I needed some work done on my car, and I didn't quite know where to even start. I poked around Google Maps, read some reviews, and wound up at Swanson's. They diagnosed my car. They fixed my car. I am now heading into winter with a lot more confidence in my car. Solid service. Nice people. Good coffee. That's about all you can really ask for. Thank you, Swanson's Auto.

Not the way I expected my morning to go....I was on the way to my mom's when a tire was in my lane in highway that I could not avoid. So over it we went. My car immediately started making a noise after I hit it. I pulled over and saw there was smoke coming off something under car so took it to Swanson Auto Service in Grandville and they were the BEST! I have an aggressive dog that was in car and the lady helped me get my boys and dog in their waiting room and brought water to my dog and quarters to my boys to get candy with while we waited. They honestly made my day and then I got my wallet out to pay and they wouldn't even let me. Thank God it was nothing major. Go to Swanson Auto if you need any car help!!!!

Our family has used Swanson's for many years for all our vehicles and have been completely satisfied with their service. They are always upfront and honest about the work needed, and the repairs get completed correctly the first time. I recommend Swanson's to anyone who is looking for a friendly and competent repair shop for your vehicles.

The people here are great. As I was packing up our van to go home from our vacation, 2 states away, I noticed radiator fluid pouring out of the radiator. By luck my family, including 4 young kids, and I ended up at Swanson's. From the moment I explained the situation to Wendy, she and everyone there did all they could to help us out. Within 2 hours we were on the road home with a new radiator. They made a bad situation much better.

I had a general service question and the person who answered the phone could not have been nicer and went out of her way to offer other options to help me as well. It's not often you get treated this well. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Thank you!

I have been a loyal customer at Swanson's Auto Service for over 20 years. The employees are friendly and I am always greeted by name and with a smile. Repairs are done in a timely manner. They work around my schedule and always squeeze me in when I need something done right away. They recommend needed work in advance with no pressure to get repairs done right away. I feel safe knowing that they keep my car, and my kids' cars - especially my kids' cars - running safely. Even though I have moved from Grandville, I will still return to Swanson's for all my auto maintenance. Thank you Randy , Jodi and all who make my experience there great!

My dad and I looked around West Michigan for years for a repair shop that would service his Nissan 350Z well without huge costs. Swanson's was the ONLY one. They do quality work and will work WITH you whatever your personal situation. Just today, I purchased a new car and noticed a burning-plastic smell coming from the engine. In a panic, I called the head mechanic - Steve - and explained. We set a time the very next day for me to drop by. Not only did he check it out, he drove it into the back and looked the whole car over for me just to ease my mind. You are not just another number to these folks :)

My family has been taking our three autos to Swanson's since 2008 and we have been very happy with the service we received. We always feel good about the service recommendations they make and are never concerned that we might be getting taken advantage of. If you're looking for a new team to service your vehicles, I'd recommend Swanson's.

I am from southwest Michigan and was in the GR area for business when my car broke down. Since I didn't really know any auto repair shops in the area, the tow truck driver recommended Swanson's to me. Fortunately, they were able get my car in that day and fix it. Not only was I able to drive my car home that night, they let me use a "loaner" car so that I could make my service calls in the area without having to rent a car. A great big THANK YOU to everyone at Swanson's for saving my day!

If any family can challenge a mechanic, it's ours. We own a foreign car, a domestic truck, and a domestic car. Even in the face of some serious mechanical nightmares, Swanson's has never failed to come through when we need them most on any of our vehicles. Swanson's service is always prompt, thorough, and top-rate. In our book, Swanson's Auto Service is number one!

I have been a customer at Swanson's for well over ten years. During that time I have had minor and major services performed on our vehicles. If I ever had questions about recommended service and options, I was given clear and accurate advice. I have never had a negative experience or outcome. These years have brought about a very trusting relationship, I can always depend on fast, complete, honest and dependable service. Their service fees have always been fair, I never consider shopping for a better price. Randy has more than once gone out of his way to assist me, they have never let me down. I recommend them to friends without hesitation. A visit to Swanson's is like stopping by to see old friends.

Swanson's Auto Service has serviced all my cars since I moved to Grandville, 16 years ago. I know I can trust them to do what is necessary to keep the cars safe at a reasonable price. They are always honest about what needs to be done. They do little extras, like checking the tires whenever I ask. Larry and his tow truck have come to my rescue several times. I appreciate the personal service.

We purchased a used Jeep that had some problems which Swanson's Auto Service repaired quickly and correctly. There was one problem that was somewhat difficult, but Swanson's figured it out and fixed it for a very reasonable price. Now our Jeep runs great! We have four cars and take them all to Swanson's. We trust them to fix our cars correctly and at a fair price. They always give us prompt, courteous and professional service. It is wonderful to be able to take our cars to a place we trust completely!

My dad used Swanson's, and I continued the tradition. I have been using them for over 20 years, and I can honestly say they have always been fantastic. I have never been disappointed. In fact if I had an issue, and needed to drop my vehicle off after hours without an appointment, Swanson's has always been able to at least look at it the next day, and most of the time have it even fixed the same day.
