Testimonials

Great service! In quickly and very affordable, and a two year warranty to boot! This place cannot be beat. Infinitely more cost effective than my dealer and other locally owned shops. I am now a long term customer!

-Russ Miller - Sugar Grove
Visiting for Christmas. Headlight out & no warm garage to replace in single digit temps. Jeep dealer & other local garage booked for 3 days out. Marty's got me in next day. Got there first thing, on my way in 15 minutes. Very fair price. Nice folks.

-Jack - Sarasota, FL
We've had several service experiences with Marty's...couldn't be more pleased with prices and service. They are very straightforward with you. Cant speak more highly.of these folks.

-Linda B.
Marty took off the engine cap and immediately saw the issue in a matter of 15 mins (vs Ken's that did nothing of the sort), he also showed my boyfriend the issue and I had photos sent to my phone as proof, not too many shops go above and beyond like that). Turned out I had valves not opening due to metal flaking off various parts of the engine and being sucked into the engine- overall it was broken. With help, and several phone calls to Erin and Marty about how to resolve the issue it turned out I had no choice but to replace the engine to ensure no future issues. They were very kind, negotiated costs knowing my financial situation, and completed the job in a very reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Marty's Auto Shop, even if you have to drive a ways- no swindling, honestly, and good response time. Thanks guys, car has been running great ever since!!!!

-Arielle M.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
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.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
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.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
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.
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.
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.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
