Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough. Improve the intake/output system. By allowing gas to get in and exhaust to get out of your vehicle you will improve the vehicle's overall performance and gas mileage. Change your filters. Dirty filters can sometimes increase the amount of fuel your vehicle uses by as much as 10 percent.

The guys at Sal's are amazing. They were so accommodating to me and did a big job for me in a rush for safety's sake. They went out of their way to help keep my kids happy during the whole ordeal which makes a huge difference to a parent. They always treat me with respect and care. It makes me so happy and confident to have such a great shop so close by. They have my business for life!

Joe and Carlo are great people who treat their customers with respect. You know when you bring your car their to be serviced it will be done right. Can't say that about many places around here. If they do find a problem quick to call you and see how you want to handle it. Not just fix it and you get a suprise when you go to pick it up. Live in this area for 58 years theirs no one else I trust more than Sals. If you are looking for a new place to go please give them a shot trust me they won't disappoint

I took my Chrysler Crossfire to Sal's Auto Service due to their quality work, honesty & knowledge. My previous (inept) mechanic diagnosed the problem inaccurately which would have cost me over $1000, Sal's found the problem to be the battery and dirty connections.the price just over $200. Because of their recommendations & I have complete faith in them, I'm getting other much needed maintenance done. I'm taking all my cars to Sals.

This was my first time coming here, needed to get my photo & state inspections done. A gentleman named Carlo took care of it and made me feel at ease. He was very professional & had a pleasant demeanor. Just watching everyone else work, I could tell that this was the right business for me to bring my car to. I will definitely be coming back for future services.

Great experience at Sal's auto. My co-worker highly recommended them and I see why. Joe and Carlo are really great and so knowledgeable about every facet of my car. Gave me a great price on new tires and had me in and out on schedule with no issues. I just moved to Westchester Co. and this will be my place for auto-care. Service: Tires

My 2014 Audi needed some major work, including a new timing chain and rear taillight. The team at Sal's took care of it, professionally and thoroughly. At a fair price. The Audi dealers price was so high (over $7,000) I considered selling the car. Happy that Sal's was there to change my decision. Service: General repairs & maintenance

Carlo was very friendly and helpful and quoted reasonable prices. He diagnosed my car with issues my previous mechanic had missed and fixed it in a timely manner. He was very thorough with his explanations of what was going on. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

People there are wonderful and courteous. Although it wasn't their fault because the repair took almost 2 months, the shop did kept me posted every few days to advise of progress. I do recommend them for repairs. My car look almost like new Service: General repairs & maintenance

The primary reason for the visit was to have my car inspected. I had a damaged fog light which required stabiizing and a new bulb. I also was in need of a wheel alignment. I spoke with Carlo, who was very easy to speak with. He had my repairs done in one morning. The service was quick, professional and honest. I will be using his service again. Steve Kristian

I used to think Sal's was good, but they will not take responsibility for poor work. Sal's completely botched a simple repair job (and we're rude about it) and we had to get it redone by a different place. Bummer.

These guys continue to amaze me. They really take their time to understand precisely what's going on with your car - and they also take the time to explain it to you. Extremely reasonable prices. And they especially know their way around older cars. Carlo and Joe are the best.

I don't see myself taking a vehicle anywhere else. The team here is thorough, professional and courteous. I didn't feel like another customer here, but a person. They clearly know their stuff and how to take care of their customers, which their high volume of work reflects. Thanks for a job well done.

I called to check for something no forgot to ask one question about fees in first call so made a very quick another call and the guy was so rude that if you call one more time take your business somewhere else. How can they be so rude to people? Decided not to go there. Never go again.

Needed two tires and an alignment for my BMW. Got a quote from the dealer. Sal's beat the dealer by $300, and they did it right. Highly recommended.

I made appointment for this Ford Service a little over four weeks ago. I got to my appointment on time for 10:00 am. At now going on two hours and know customer service came up to in reference. Customer service here is really bad. People just walking round. I been waiting here patiently. I'm canceling this appointment. I have to make another with another dealership

I came in for a CARCO photo inspection. I was accommodated right away, greeted with kindness and the whole process was easy and pleasant. Carlo was awesome and I'd definitely keep them in mind for future auto needs.

I once had a 1999 BMW 3 series (which I don't own any more). I had an issue with my AC blowing air at different temperatures from different vents ie cool on the passenger and warm on the driver's side. The guys at SL's Auto claimed they fixed the problem by replacing a hose adjacent to the AC compressor. The following year, I had the same issue. I'll never go back there again. I'm not sure they know what they're doing. It's been a while back since I had that experience with them but I'll never forget.

I've been going to Sal's for over 10 years and ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS have had great service on my car and great customer service from Joe, Carlo and his team. Most recently, we found a noise in the car and Joe would not stop looking until the noise was gone - he's thorough, competent and fair and above all I trust his advice and knowledge about cars.

I saw a review with a negative experience and I would absolutely dispute that claim. As a woman, Joe and Carlo have been respectful and concerned about my safety. As a mother, Joe and Carlo have managed the care and service of my son's car. As a customer, I recommend them highly! THANK YOU GUYS!

They are just the best. I recommend them to everyone. I don't understand the comments about them giving women a hard time. They are always respectful to me, explain what needs to be done and why even though I am clearly not a car person, give me a VERY reasonable price (last repair I told them what the dealer was quoting. Their price was 1/3 that dealer price) and get the work done quickly.

And they are invariably pleasant about it. They never do unnecessary repairs, even though they could easily do that (see above - I'm not a car person and wouldn't know the difference.) I love them. It's like having a great doctor that you trust implicitly to keep you as healthy as possible.

I have been talking my car to him for years without a problem. Unfortunately he decided to be very rude when I told him I couldn't change my tires now. Told me to get my car and wouldn't do inspection even thou the car stayed there for the whole day and he never called me to say what was going on. Will never go back, I'll take my business elsewhere.

I worked for Sal back in the early 70's when he first opened his business. I also became a master mechanic and now that I'm retired I will only bring my car to Sal's. Over the years I've had a fender bender or 2 and the body shop is top notch! For a around service this is the best place to take care of your Automobile. Coming from a former mechanic that should mean something.

Carlo takes his time and really cares as a business owner and professional. You will get great service and no upselling. I bring both of my cars here for service. It's great!

I've been bringing my vehicles here for 10+ years for maintenance, several different makes and models, and all their repair work has been top notch. They will provide quotes on any work, and they won't do repairs without getting approval. They also won't hard-sell you on something if it's not needed.they will tell you the tires might need replacing in a couple of thousand miles, or that the brake pads might need work on the next service visit, but no high pressure to get the work done with them.

I had an issue with an annoying squeak in my Ford Escape and they suggested I first try Ford in case it was a warranty issue. After three unsuccessful trips to the Ford service folks I brought it back to Sal's, they solved it in one day. Locally owned and operated, there guys are great.

I will rate Sal's auto zero star if there is such an option. It's a total rip-off. They overcharge labor, and parts. Hiring friends to write good reviews is not the way to go. Feel free to go there is you'd like to overpay, and be treated with condescending attitude and fake smiles.

I noticed a couple reviews insinuating that Joe and Carlo 'intimidate' women at their shop. I can tell you this is 100% NOT TRUE. I have been a customer there for over ten years, and would never go anywhere else. As for prices, I've compared their charges to mechanics even in other, low cost states and found them to be MORE than reasonable.

They are always willing to explain. As for the idea that they try to push services or up-sell, I honestly laugh at that. I have actually asked them "Do the brakes/pads need replacing?" or other such things, at which point they take me to the vehicle, show them to me, let me know that they are safe to drive, and NEVER try to up-sell me on a part I don't need.

I doubt my ridiculously laughable 15 year old car would still be running without them. They have saved me on multiple occasions from dead batteries, flat tires, etc - I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My wife went to this shop, on a recommendation from her mother, last week for an oil change. They were professional and courteous, she says. I instructed her to ask for 10w40 oil, which is not usually standard, but is better for cars with higher mileage (such as our 2003 Honda CR-V with 155K.) They complied. They also listed several other items that needed repair, which we declined at the time and will review later.

The shock came when she came home and showed me the bill. It was not a usual $30-40 charge for a simple oil change, plus perhaps a small upcharge for the oil. it was $66 +tax, because they used SYNTHETIC oil at $9.50/qt, plus a separate charge for an oil filter, plus $10 for labor. My wife does not even know what synthetic oil is and would not ask for such an expensive proposition. I feel that she was taken advantage of. Three stars because, well, they did perform the oil change. But at an inflated price. The experience just rubs me the wrong way.

I was looking to purchase a car from a local dealership in Scarsdale and was hoping to have a pre-purchase inspection. I live in Nashville and didn't have the ability to see the car prior to the purchase, so this pre-inspection was VITAL. My fiance (who is currently deployed in Afghanistan) talked to the one of the owner's at Sal's, who said they would go and pick the car up from the dealership and would gladly take a look at the car and let us know what kind of condition it was in.

When I called to schedule the pre-inspection, not only did the other owner tell me he wouldn't pick it up, he refused to offer me service at all and HUNG UP on me. He didn't bother to check with the other owner and was incredibly rude. I'm pro-small business, but BOO on this one.

Sal's Auto Service is GREAT! Carlo and Joe rally do take care of you and know exactly what you need and don't need and help you cut costs where you can without cutting any corners. They really do care about their customers and doing the right thing! Love them!
