Ever wonder how far your car can continue traveling on an empty tank?
While it can vary anywhere from 30 to 50 miles, driving on an empty tank can actually damage your fuel pump and clog the fuel filter. Try to fill your gas when you get down to a quarter tank full.

"This shop is the most honest I’ve had experienced in a long time.
They inspected my electric vehicle and advised me of my options within two days.
Although, I could of had the repair with them, my car was still under warranty which they told me it may be still covered.
Alex was great and explained everything in layman’s terms!
Thanks "

"I just moved to Denver and they were recommended to me by a friend. I am always skeptical of going to car places without knowing them but she gave such a good review. Man, am I glad I went to them! Such great service! Friendly, knowledgeable, quick turnaround time. I was able to get a report of what was needed to be done to my car sent to my phone and printed out. There was NO pressure to get the work down then and there. I will definitely be going to them whenever I need car help!"

Despite their relatively easy operation, cars are actually very complex machines. Cars need fuel to operate, but what does the engine actually do with it?
In general, a standard internal combustion engine — what the majority of fuel-powered vehicles have today — uses air combined with gasoline to produce power. It is a complicated process that relies on many different parts and specific timing.

Who is decorating their car for Halloween? 🎃
This one is amazing!
Whether you're a seasoned driver or new behind the wheel, there are certain things that every driver should know that they don't teach you in Driver's Ed - how to check tire pressure, how to check tire tread, how to jump-start a car, how to change a tire, and more.
What are some other things you wish you were taught when learning how to drive?
When winter arrives, the last thing you want breaking down is your car's heater and defroster.
Not only is a frosty car inconvenient—it's also dangerous. Heat is needed to remove ice and fog build-up on your windshield. Without a working heater, your ability to see the road clearly can be severely hindered.
If you notice that your heater is faulty or doesn't work as efficiently as it used to, it's time to have it fixed!

This is your vehicle’s oil pressure warning light. While it may look like a genie in a bottle, it’s actually an image of an old fashioned oil can.

As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important to check that your vehicle’s wipers and lights are all in proper working order.
You may not be able to see from the driver’s seat if a light isn’t working, so take the time to test all exterior lights and replace any if needed. Also, test your wiper blades and replace them if they skip, smear, squeak, or appear to be dried out or frayed.

Check engine light on?
The check engine light is your vehicle's way of letting you know that something is wrong. But don't stress - the best thing you can do is bring your vehicle into our shop for an inspection.

Is it bad to drive your car if it doesn’t have a gas cap?
While it isn’t a major issue if caught early on, you don’t want to continue driving without a gas cap for an extended period of time. You’ll lose gas and debris and moisture can get into the fuel tank, causing performance and fuel efficiency issues over time.
It’s inexpensive to fix, so take care of a lost, missing, or broken gas cap!

"We have been a return customer at Mancinelli’s for over a year. Last fall, our 2012 SUV encountered some serious engine problems which required substantial repair work. Mancinelli’s provided a thorough, line-item estimate with detailed explanations and photographs supporting their conclusions. It wasn’t the cheapest bid, but Mancinelli’s team won the bid because they were transparent, respectful, and communicative. The charges ended up being reasonable for the work and worth the price difference to retain a knowledgeable, trustworthy team. Like clockwork last week I received a friendly text reminding me to schedule routine service. They fit me in within a week. During the inspection, the mechanic identified a true safety issue. Again, Mancinelli’s team texted me with a link to an inspection report which clearly summarized the necessary work and included photograph documentation to convey the necessity. They efficiently answered all of my questions, completed the extra work, and returned the car by close of business. The Mancinelli’s team is comprised of commensurate professionals who perform high quality service at a reasonable cost with exemplary service."

Whether you are driving your dream car or just own a car that gets you from point A to point B, what do you love most about your vehicle?
Did you know that your vehicle's tires can wear down significantly faster if the tire pressure is low, the wheel alignment is off, or the suspension and steering components are worn?
When your tires have very low tread and are excessively worn, your ability to slow, stop, and control your vehicle is drastically reduced and your safety on the road is at risk.

"I have a fairly old car with high miles and made an appointment for an oil change. When I showed up for the appointment I also asked if they could do a full check since it has such high miles and it’s been a long while since it’s had a full service. They were happy to add it on the same day and by noon I had a call and breakdown of all things found. After a call with the mechanic about what was necessary and needed attention now they were able to get started right away. I did need to leave my car overnight but all was completed by end of day the following day! Fantastic customer service, quick service, and amazing communication about what is actually going on so I felt comfortable with the work being done."

"I have a 17 year old Mazda that has been having issues for almost 2 years and the several other mechanics I took it to could never really diagnose the issue. It was always “well we think it’s this so let’s spend another 500-1000 and see if that works “ - which would fix it for a while and then something else would happen. I kept asking for a thorough inspection but they wouldn’t do it.
For $130 Mancinellis did a complete inspection with detailed information and pictures so I finally knew the extent of the issues. Even though it was bad news and it’s better to replace the car than repair it, I found a repair shop that I can trust and will recommend them to everyone!"

They also highlighted a few services that were due, but I had done on my own. Very thorough, very professional. I feel like I ripped them off, not the other way around. Highly recommend. I owe them some money, they could have easily done the ball joints, but they wanted me to come back and spend the money on a service I'd benefit from later."

To avoid major trouble down the road, it is important to review and stay current with your vehicle's factory recommendations regarding when you should have your belts inspected and replaced.

"Had a great experience with the team at Mancinelli's. Brought my Subaru in for some standard maintenance (oil change, balance tires, etc.) as well as a slow-start that I had noticed. They were able to service my car quickly and professionally, with top-notch customer service. I spent some time on the phone with Steve as he walked me through what work had been done, and the additional work that should be done to fix the slow start. The car feels much better now, and all the issues I had noticed prior have improved!"

Let’s take a deeper look at a common vehicle symptom: vibrating at high speeds.
A car that vibrates at high speeds can indicate:
- Out of balance or unevenly worn tires
- Bad spark plugs
- Worn wheel bearings
- Bad ball joints
- Wrong fuel/air mixture in engine pistons
- Clogged or dirty fuel filter
- Bent axles
- Misaligned wheels
There are many potential causes for this common symptom, so having the issue inspected by a professional is the best course of action when it comes to fixing a vibrating vehicle.

"I never thought I’d have a squirrel f@&k up my car but there I was with a broken down car, a bunch of chewed through wires and nowhere to go. I usually don’t go off of Google Reviews but these guys are GREAT. They got the initial look over done in super quickly, the repair only took a few hours and they even wrapped the wires in rodent repellent tape. If you guys see this, thanks again for your help, you’ve gained a lifelong customer"

"I called Mancinelli's Auto Repair Center Service and was advised to bring in my car before a certain time to avoid having to leave it overnight. I brought it in and added on an oil change and air filter replacement since I needed both done very soon, and I was told that because it was so busy I might need to leave it overnight. BUT THEY COMPLETED IT WITHIN AN HOUR!!!"
