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.

I have ICE COLD AC in my Jeep again!! Thanks to the crew at Acheson Auto Works. Can't tell you how happy I am now.

I needed a last minute oil change and after hearing multiple people talk about Acheson Auto Works on University Blvd I decided to take my car there. I was fit right in and had a very prompt but quality oil change. You cannot get the sincerity or quality anywhere else! The front desk, young lady, was extremely cheerful and very welcoming. Tim, the service manager, was the exact same. After my oil change they advised me of a small issue I may want to address with my car later on, but did not push or make me believe it is worse than it really is. This is exactly what I want out of an auto service center. Because of their honesty and wonderful atmosphere I will always go back to Acheson Auto Works.

After coming to West Des Moines for a funeral, we were about to return home, when we heard an ominous sound coming from the right front wheel. Late that morning, Larry squeezes us in to find the bearing going bad. They managed to repair it and get us back on the road by late afternoon! No more drama on the way home. For travelers far from home, the people at Acheson were marvelous. You definitely lived up to your motto, and we can recommend you highly!!!

Great customer service! They listen to your concerns and do everything they can to help you. I went in to get new tires and as they were doing a test drive, they noticed my car was pulling to the right. They took the time to fix that issue quickly. I am very happy with the service I received.

I was referred to Acheson by my best friend, who was visiting Des Moines from out of town when her air conditioning broke down in the middle of August. They took great care of her vehicle and offered her family I-Cubs tickets to enhance their visit to Des Moines! My two experiences over the last year have been equally great. They are responsive, kind, honest, and supportive. If they don't fix it, they know who does. Automobile issues are stressful, so finding a repair shop with those qualities makes things easier. Not to mention, they have a great waiting area with free wifi that can be a peaceful break from the office! I won't take my car anywhere else.

Thanks again Acheson Auto Works for repairing my Jeep Wrangler. I have never gone through a repair on a vehicle before and the service that Acheson provided was top notch. From the moment i walked in the door Sam Acheson and the staff there made me feel comfortable and assured me my vehicle was in good hands. I hope to not go through any repairs again but if I do, Acheson Auto Works will have my business know questions asked. You guys are the definition of a great a business and I cant say thank you enough!
