Eco-friendly Automotive Products
We're constantly researching products and systems that will lower our impact on the environment and save you money over the long term. This includes sourcing products like these:
Eco-friendly Solvents and Cleaners
Bulk Oil and Washer Fluid
Plastic is painful on the environment. By purchasing our oil and washer fluid in bulk, we can keep hundreds of plastic jugs out of the waste system.
Lead-free Wheel Weights
A major source of lead pollution comes from lead wheel weights falling off of cars and trucks. When those weights end up in our streams and waterways, it's bad news for critters and humans alike. We use zinc wheel weights, which are much kinder to the environment.
"Green" Tires
Regardless of the source of fuel (gasoline, propane, diesel or hybrid), energy is needed to keep your vehicle moving forward. Tire rolling resistance can be lowered by optimizing a tire's weight, internal structure, tread design and tread compound, making it possible to reduce fuel consumption, CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. That's just how we roll. Ask us about green tire options for your car!
We believe in education and proactive maintenance, because a well-maintained vehicle is considerably less harmful to the environment than a sad, neglected one. We can all be a little greener, just by taking real good care of our cars.
Take Care of Your Tires
Nitrogen
The basic science behind nitrogen
A dry, inert gas, nitrogen's main benefit is its molecular structure; nitrogen molecules are considerably larger than oxygen molecules, so they don't permeate a tire nearly as quickly. Oxygen can pass through an inner liner, belt package and sidewall/tread three to four times faster than nitrogen.
This factor helps maintain proper inflation pressure longer, which means tires run cooler, thereby increasing safety and reducing operating cost.
Experts say that the effects of under inflation of tires cost this country two million gallons of gasoline a day. In fact, 90% of the tire failures on the road today are caused by under inflation.

SERVICE MENU
VEHICLE INSPECTION POINTS
Power Steering
1Be honest; have you ever thought of this on your own? Your power steering fluid gets dirty and builds-up moisture over time. Cleaning out your power steering system means that dirt and gum are removed and your power steering parts are protected from corrosion. Ask your service advisor if it's time for a power steering check-up.
Wheel Alignment
2When your wheels are out of alignment your car pulls to one side. It's pretty annoying, but it's also dangerous. And it causes your tires to wear out really fast; which is expensive! Most owners' manuals suggest you get your alignment checked once or twice a year.
Differential Service
3Okay, did you even know you had a differential? Well you do. One, two or three in fact. Differentials are often called gear boxes and they're part of the drive-train that transfers power from the engine to your wheels. They don't need service that often, but you can't just ignore them. Check with your service advisor.
Cabin Air Filter
4More and more Denton cars these days have cabin air filters to clean the air in the passenger area where we sit. They filter out dust and pollen. When they're clogged up, they can get smelly. Change your cabin air filter on schedule to enjoy fresh, clean air, which can also help with allergies.
Timing Belt Replacement
5Most cars and some vans and trucks around the Denton area have timing belts. Without going into a lot of detail, let's just say that your car won't run without it - period. And if it breaks while you're driving it can do thousands of dollars worth of engine damage. Check your owners' manual or with your service advisor. If you're approaching 60,000 miles; absolutely look into it right away.
Transmission Service
6Transmission service is very basic, but it's often forgotten. Your transmission needs clean fluid from time to time to keep running efficiently and avoid costly repairs. And it can improve your fuel economy too.
Air Conditioning Service
7Most of us don't think about our air conditioning until it doesn't work. Then if you're lucky, you just need to add refrigerant. If you're not, some of the components may have been ruined. Those components are not cheap. Regular air conditioning service adds clean refrigerant which cools and lubricates your air conditioner and conditions the seals.
Brake Service
8No we're not talking about squealing, grinding brakes here. We're talking brake fluid. Over time the fluid gets a lot of water in it. Because water compresses differently than the brake fluid, your brakes won't work as well. It may even get dangerous. The water can also rust out brake system components and then your brakes can fail altogether. Check with your service advisor for recommendations.
Coolant System
9Another thing that's so easy to forget about: When you don't change your antifreeze on schedule it becomes corrosive. Fresh coolant contains additives that maintain the pH balance in the coolant. These additives wear out and the fluid in the radiator can actually eat holes in the radiator or hoses. Then you're stranded.
Fuel System Cleaning
10In times of high fuel prices, fuel system cleaning is so important. Fuel gums up a bunch of parts as it moves from the gas tank and through the engine. A thorough fuel system cleaning will keep clean gas flowing into the engine. Your fuel injectors get gunked up over time and need to be cleaned. Having your fuel system cleaned on schedule will really help your fuel economy.
And there we have it; 10 services that are often overlooked. Did you know that a recent survey showed that 90 percent of vehicles on the road have at least one scheduled maintenance service that hasn't been performed? Based on our busy lives, we're not surprised.
Save money. Save time.
We know it takes some thought and effort to actually maintain your vehicle; but it not only saves money in the long run - it saves time too. And we can all use a little more time. Air conditioning service involves purging the old refrigerant and capturing it for proper disposal. Then fresh refrigerant is installed. The fresh refrigerant will lubricate the system and will also help it cool better.

Alignment
Service centers like Tommy's Honda and Toyota make sure all four wheels are lined up and track with each other. This reduces tire and suspension wear and improves safety and handling.
Battery service
Service centers like Tommy's Honda and Toyota inspect the battery for corrosion, leaks or damage. Test the battery's ability to hold a charge. If the battery's still strong, clean it up. If not, replace it.
Brake service
This could be two things. A brake inspection to see if the brakes are working well mechanically and to see if the pads are still safe. If not, replace the pads and make any repairs that might be in order.
The other thing is to evacuate the brake fluid, clean out the system and replace it with fresh fluid. This is important, but often over looked.
Cabin Air Filter
The cabin air filter is the filter that cleans the air that comes into the passenger compartment. It works like the filter on your furnace at home. It gets dirty and needs to be changed often.
Cooling System
This is the cooling system for your engine. Replace the old coolant with fresh to protect your radiator and other cooling system components from corrosion.
Differential Service
Every vehicle has at least one differential. They don't require service very often, so people don't think of them much. The differential transfers power from the drive train to your wheels. Drain the old fluid and add fresh lubricant.
Engine Air Filter
This filters the air that's burned in the engine. It also gets dirty and needs to be replaced often.
Fuel Filter
This filter cleans the fuel before it gets to the engine. Like the other filters, it too gets clogged and needs to be replaced in order to maintain good flow.
