Hello drivers, lets talk about fuel. Fuel, whether gasoline or diesel, is delivered to your car, truck, SUV, minivan, or fleet vehicle engine to be burned to generate the power needed to keep you moving. This fuel leaves a residue as it moves through your fuel system. This may not seem like much, but it can cause big problems. Gum and varnish build up inside fuel lines, your throttle body and injectors. It’s like plaque build-up in your arteries – it restricts the free flow of fuel and can even clog your vehicle fuel injectors. 

At Mercie J Auto Care in Mesa, AZ, we recognize the importance of quality. Quality workmanship is obviously important; but even that will only go so far. Without quality components and products, what is the value of a job well done?

Everyone has different habits when it comes to washing their car.

In actuality, washing your car is also an important aspect of maintenance and making a car last. Mercie J Auto Care in Mesa, AZ has some car washing tips for you, to keep your car in shape for years to come.
