Increase Your Gas Mileage with Regular Car Maintenance – Rock Hill, SC

While gas prices have been more consistent, and in some areas they have even gone down, it is still painful to fill your gas tank.

And, if you like to drive to a winter get-away on the weekends, gas mileage is very important.

You can improve gas mileage. Many car owners neglect some regular car maintenance.  If it has been awhile since you have had a tune up on your car, schedule one! Be sure to keep up on your car’s regular maintenance. Regularly maintained cars get the best gas mileage. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Reliable Transmission Service recommends scheduled maintenance regularly and would like to see your car get a tune up at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 mile intervals. Why?
