Pride Auto Care to do a fundraiser for Rachel's Challenge

For the month of October 2010, all three locations of Pride Auto Care will be donating $3.00 from each premium oil change to Rachel's Challenge.

Rachel's Challenge is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing bullying, school violence and teen suicides by sharing the story of Rachel Scott, the first person killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shootings. 
Rachel deliberately reached out with kindness and compassion to those who were new at school, picked on by others, or just didn't have any friends.  Rachel's Challenge has become the largest assembly program in the US and was in over 1,300 schools and in front of about 1.5 million kids with Rachel's message that every student can make a difference in their schools and communities by treating each other with respect and kindness.



Help us make a difference in children's lives across the United States by coming in for an oil change anytime in the month of October 2010.

Pride Repaired my tire in a timely manner!

Fantastic, Professional Service‎‎

 By Matt - Jul 27, 2010

Brought vehicle in with a screw in a tire. Was told at Walmart that they were unable to fix it. Pride repaired in a timely manner and went out of their way to make me, a new customer, feel comfortable and taken care of.‎

 

Another happy Pride Auto Care Customer.. Thanks for letting us know Matt

Pride is excited to have another happy customer in Littleton CO

Quite simply the best‎‎

 By Curt - Aug 2, 2010

I've been getting all my car repairs and maintenance at Pride for several years, and I can't say enough good about them. They are utterly honest and straightforward -- will tell you exactly what you need and don't need, charge you fairly for what they do, and perform the work at the highest level of competence. My life would have been much easier down through the years if I had known about them. Plus the owner and crew are genuinely nice guys. It's interesting that they chose the name "Pride" for their shop, as they can certainly have pride in what they do!‎

Gas Saving tips for your summer travel plans

GAS SAVING TIPS From Pride Auto Care and the "Be Car Care Aware" education campaign of the Car Care Council. www.carcare.org*

Tire Pressure
Tire pressure & alignment are critical to safety and achieving your best fuel economy possible. Tires lose about 1 psi of air pressure per month. Keeping your tires at the proper pressure can improve your fuel economy, allowing your car to roll easier. Your proper air pressure is found in the owner’s manual or inside the driver’s door jamb, not on the side of the tire.

Clean Air
Changing a dirty air filter can notably improve your fuel economy and power. Have it checked with every oil change. Check your cabin air filter too (if equipped) for clean breathable air inside the car.

Octane
Are you buying higher octane gas than necessary? If you drive a computer-controlled vehicle (basically cars built after 1987) you may be able to get by with the lowest octane fuel. Check your owner’s manual. It won’t improve your fuel economy, but it can save you 10-20 cents per gallon.

Oil
Are you using the proper oil for your vehicle and getting it changed every 4000 miles or 4 months? You may not realize it but most city drivers are using their cars under “Severe Service” conditions. See your owner’s manual for details and use the recommended viscosity. Keeping your oil full and clean will reduce the friction inside your engine, and help with fuel economy and engine life!

Driving Habits and Planning
Keep your foot light on the gas. Using gradual acceleration may not be fun, but it will save you money. Same for braking, if you accelerate & then brake hard at the next light, you‘re wasting gas. Avoid extended idling, cars need 30 seconds to warm up. Plan your trips. Short trips, in stop and go traffic, are harder on your car’s engine than most other driving.

Preventive Maintenance Is The Key!
Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule to save fuel costs and allow your car to operate more efficiently. Read your owner’s manual or visit Pride Auto Care for a full maintenance review. Your peace of mind and the savings can be significant!
