Your gas mileage mostly depends on what kind of car you drive; engine displacement and vehicle weight are the largest determining factors on gas mileage, and there’s not much you can do to change either of those. That doesn’t mean attempting to improve your fuel economy is a completely hopeless endeavor, however. With these tips from Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS, you might be surprised how much your fuel mileage can be improved.

It’s time to start ringing in the new year. From all of us at Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS, we hope you’ve had a great holiday season and look forward to seeing you in 2019.

A battery isn’t something you would expect to be affected by weather; as long as it’s charged, most batteries just work. Vehicle batteries, however, are actually noticeably impacted by cold weather. You may notice on especially cold mornings that your vehicle is a little slower to start then normal...that’s because your battery struggles a little more than usual in the cold.

Christmas is just a few days away! If you’re like us, for many of you that means travelling this holiday season. Here are some travel tips from Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS to make sure your Christmas journey is merry.

As cars become more technologically advanced, the importance of your vehicle’s battery becomes continually more important. In the old days, a car battery essentially worked, or it didn’t; if it was good enough to start the car, it was good enough. Moderns vehicles are a different story. A faulty battery can cause a variety of issues, including engine codes, sensor failures, irregular transmission behavior, and the list goes on. Battery failure often causes issues that are commonly misdiagnosed, and in the hands of the wrong auto repair shop, a mechanic may spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars chasing problems that don’t exist. At Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS, our mechanics are familiar with modern vehicles and the problems that accompany them.

 

Once again, Cecil's proves that they are the best in automotive and customer service. The other day, my husband and I both managed to hit two separate pot holes in two separate cars on the same day. My husband's car is currently still at Cecil's waiting for parts as we unfortunately blew a tire and have to replace two of the wheels. On my car, I managed to bend the rim on one of my wheels and knock the hubcap completely off. I was afraid the tire pressure was going down and I had a possible puncture, but I still had to drive the car to work and on errands. I was concerned today that the tire might blow if I drove it much longer, so I stopped by Cecil's on my lunch break. They checked me in immediately and had me out of there in 10 minutes. Not only did they straighten the rim and put my hubcap back on, but they checked my tire pressure to ensure it was OK and even gave me some extra air. When I asked them how much I owed, they refused to let me pay them. I actually teared up driving back to work because they took the time to help me and showed me such kindness. They are a solid bunch of people and have always treated my family with respect and compassion. They are my go-to place when I need help, and I wish I could give them 10 stars. - Allison K. (5 star review on Yelp)

A good technician will give your car a quick inspection whenever you have maintenance performed. Fluid levels, tire condition, dashboard lights, and a variety of other items typically are briefly explored whenever you bring your vehicle in for maintenance. At Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS, we're good at noticing things that need repair, but the fact of the matter is that only you know your car. You know when your car feels off, when its been serviced last (or that it hasn't been serviced at all,) and have at least some vague idea of what’s going on with your vehicle day to day. Here are some questions you can ask us next time you come by the shop:

Love Cecil’s Automotive Olive Branch. I’ve had tire issues for 2 months. Took it to Darby’s Tire and it was awful experience. I had all new tires but was still having to put air in them constantly. Well right before I went to Cecils we found a screw in my tire and plugged my tire. Since I’ve been having issues for so long we decide to have Cecil’s check it out to do a ‘professional’ plug and make sure that’s the only issue.  My father and I both were pretty skeptical due to our recent experience with mechanics. But we took it to Cecil’s and we are both beyond pleased! They were honest about saying the plug was good and they didn’t need to do one. While checking and re-checking my tires they re-set my settings and didn’t charge me a dime since nothing was really wrong. Absolutely need more auto shops like this. I’m so thankful for how they helped me! Mike at the Olive Branch location was who helped us today! - Mikelyn K. (5 star review on Facebook)
