    • 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.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • TJ and his team are professional and proficient. They have done work on both my and my wife's car, and all work had been excellent.


    -Andy Polder - Wildomar California

  • I was told by a place that did my brakes that I needed an alignment. I took it here yesterday and it turns out I didn't need one the owner was very nice and honest!!!!! I will be back thank you so much for being honest.


    -Donna P.

  • Great customer service. Recommended by Americas Tires. I called at 12:45 and a 1:30 appt was available. I arrived at 1:20 and they took me right away. They checked my filters which was nice. They offer a drink/water while I waited which was an added touch. Would definitely return.


    -K. B.

  • I purchased a Groupon for Bear Alignment for an oil change at a reasonable price. I don't like to taking my car to get an oil change as I always feel like they try to get me to have extra stuff done. I was very pleased with their service and professionalism. They checked my cars fluids, brakes etc..... They showed me what I needed done. What I liked is that I didn't feel pressured to do what they recommended. They had a sign outside with my name welcoming me. I thought that was a nice touch. I will return and refer others.


    -Liz S.

  • Went here to get my alignment done but I knew there was something else going on because my steering wheel has been shaking a lot. Brandon and the people at bear were so awesome. They replaced my tie rods at a very fair price and my truck is driving beautifully. So happy I came here.


    -Jennifer R.

  • This place is very friendly and works quick with an appointment. I needed my brakes replaced but had no money so they offered me a discount. It went from 200 to 160, I still couldn't because thus my money was nonexistent and I was using the banks money to pay for the oil change. Still, it was nice to be offered that and the receptionist is very nice too


    -Justin T.

  • Awesome place to get your alignment done ! I work with Americas Tire and we refer our customers here. They definitely help out and make you ensured that everything is good before you leave the shop. Thank you guys so much !! Will come again for my alignment. My new go to place before the track!


    -Adonis G.

  • Super fast and friendly service. waited for my husbands car for an oil change and done in 25-30 min for an oil change. Love it here!!


    -Cheryl H.

  • The staff are very friendly and helpful. They do a great job. Emily is attentive. TJ & Brandon are very thorough, as I'm sure all their staff is. They have excellent Groupon offers as well. I take all of our household cars there. Fast friendly service. They really go the extra mile. I really appreciate their superior service standards. They are honest and fair.


    -Rhonda R.

  • I'm a girl. I'm a girl who hates car maintenance. I hate sitting around. Waiting. I hate when pushy salespeople try to talk me into services that I don't need. I hate being overcharged. NONE of that happened at Bear (except the waiting part, but I got over it). From the moment I walked through the door and was greeted by Emily, who smiled and put me instantly at ease, to being guided through my vehicle's inspection with TJ & Brandon, to being given a discount (what?!), and finally leaving feeling very well taken care of, appreciated, and most definitely happy. I'm a customer for life. Thanks guys!


    -Tracey L.

  • Great people! Excellent service! Please open a Bear in Colorado!!!!!!


    -Jeff L.

  • TJ and his crew at Bear are very good. Awesome service and excellent knowledge on vehicle repair.


    -Josh D.

  • Got my car checked here and they are very professional and quick to help you in any way they can to get you back on the road.
