My husband and I (as well as both of our now grown children) have been taking our cars to Pat for over 10 years. We have never had a bad experience. Pat is honest and fair. He never pressures you to fix or replace parts. I don't know what I would do without him!

I noticed loud noises coming from the exhaust on my car. I brought it to Nelson's before work, and by lunch time the problem had been fixed. The price was very fair and the customer service was excellent. The next time one of my cars needs servicing I will bring it to Nelson's. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good mechanic.

He then called us back a couple of hours later to inform us that in fact the par...

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...

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.
