    I have taken my car to this place on various occasions for different purposes (body work, engine work, suspension work, electrical work) and have found the staff to be quite helpful and knowledgeable. It was somewhat difficult finding a place that works with a lot of Volvo's but these guys came highly recommended. The work was excellent every time, and if it didn't come out the way they wanted it, they would take the time to make it right. Great service overall. Will be back there as soon as I hit another pot-hole :)

    I was on a business trip in New Orleans last month and accidentally scraped the bumper on my rental car. I searched for a body shop on Google Maps and found that Excellent Automotive was nearby. So I brought the car in late in the afternoon, without an appointment, and asked what they could do to help me out. Danny took the car into the shop and brought it back in 10 minutes. Miraculously, it looked as good as new! I offered to pay, but Danny wouldn't let me. If this is the way he treats a stranger who will never be a repeat customer, I can only imagine how well local customers must be treated. Thank you Danny Escalante and Excellent Automotive Service!

    I recently took my car because I had trouble getting it to start. They quickly diagnosed the problem that it was a faulty starter. The guys couldn't have been nicer. They even offered to bring me home while they worked on car. When they were done, they offered to bring the car to my home. Once again going up and beyond their duty! Can't recommend them enough.

    My poor Acura RSX was flooded a few weeks ago in one of the torrential downpours that we have been having this year. I had to bring it in for the flood damage, and it turned out there were a few mechanical problems of which I was unaware. Danny and Andres worked up a full list for me and were very clear about what was critical and what could wait. The biggest issue turned out to be my engine's timing chain, which had jumped 2 teeth! This is going to sound like an exaggeration, and also make me look a little foolish for driving it out of timing, but it pulled like it did when I first bought it from the original owner, maybe even better.

    The owner is awesome. He did work on my car that no other big businesses would do. My radiator was leaking from a collision and he managed to fix it without me doing 2,000$ worth of body work.

    The owner and staff are very knowledgeable about a wide range of vehicles from top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz to 30 year old Toyota's. The customer service is excellent!

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.
