    What People Say About Us


    • -David C.

      Needed an alternator replaced, and all the folks here really helped us out of a bind. Mechanic was transparent and honest throughout the entire process. Really made our day! Even included a free 2 year warranty on the part. We were able to get back on the road in under an hour and a half. Would definitely recommend.


    • -Steven O.

      Tim is the best mechanic in palm springs. He never lies and is a true friend.


    • -Mike W.

      If you have ever read my Yelp review you know how important Tim's services have been to me. As a single dad I counted on him to keep both my teenagers' cars running safe and sound, which he did. He is also the man I trust to work on my 04 F150 4X4 with 240k on it.


    • -Drew R.

      Tim is the man...We have 4 family cars and he is always affordable, and he stands behind his work. Timely and efficient. I will recommend this shop to all of my friends and family.


    • -A. W.

      I love this place! I was headed out of town and needed my oil changed on short notice. They let me come in last minute, and I was out in less than an hour. Normally when I get my oil changed at Good Year it takes least 2 hours. These guys are friendly, easy to talk to, and I'd recommend this shop to anyone!!


    • -Devin C.

      I went there for a couple of things to have done on my car. They gave me the best deal around and with great service. They helped us with every question we asked them. They were very nice to my wife and me. We are definitely going back.


    • -Kelly M.

      Where do I begin? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Affordable Auto Care of Palm Springs for any and all of your automotive repair needs. My vehicle had a transmission/clutch issue, and the owners took personalized care of me from start to finish. From calling to giving me updates, to providing me with a ride to and from the shop, they gave me the greatest, most honest, straightforward customer service I have ever received from an auto repair shop EVER. If you are looking for a highly reputable auto repair shop, look no further!

    Automotive News

  • 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.
