Just like how we need fluids to stay hydrated, your vehicle does too. When your vehicle is low on fluids, your vehicle's overall performance and driveability will be negatively affected. Our team recommends sticking to a preventative maintenance schedule. This way, we can stay on top of your vehicle's fluid levels together.  The team at The Auto Experts is here to remind of which fluids are essential and why:  Oil: Your vehicle is made up of various moving parts, and to make sure all these components stay lubricated, your vehicle needs oil. Your vehicle's oil absorbs heat and prevents your engine from overheating. If your vehicle doesn't have enough oil, it might result in potentially expensive and dangerous repairs.  Transmission Fluid: Your transmission is one of your engine's most complex components, and transmission fluid is vital for your transmission's overall health. Just like how oil works, transmission fluid keeps your transmission lub ... read more

Many Californians are surprised to learn that Sacramento is the state capital of California, especially as we have the glamorous Los Angeles and coastal San Francisco Bay Area. However, Sacramento possesses its unique beauty. This Valentine’s Day, why not spend it exploring Sacramento’s surrounding wetlands, foothills, and mountains?  Valentine’s Day might look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use this opportunity to show your loved one just how much you care. Here are five of the most romantic drives in and around Sacramento:  Clear Lake: This drive is approximately 200 miles, but it depends on the route you take from Sacramento.

We can’t believe how quickly the year is going by! Soon enough, the holidays will be here, and we will be racing to the grocery store for last-minute items, planning trips to Grandmother’s house, and dashing over to the Christmas tree farm to pick up the perfect tree. The holidays are meant to be a relaxing and peaceful time -- the team at the Auto Experts doesn’t want you to worry about traffic during this time of the year.  We have compiled a few tips and tricks to help you handle holiday traffic:  Holidays might be a little different this year in the wake of COVID-19, but if you are still planning on driving and visiting your family, we recommend planning and leaving early. Most likely, the roads will be congested, and the weather won’t be the best. You can download a navigation app and plan your route ahead of time.  Make sure to eliminate all distractions. If you are stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, it might be tempting to go on your pho ... read more

Soon enough, winter will be here, and we will be pulling out our holiday decorations, jackets, and scarves to prepare. The team at Auto Experts is here to remind you to take care of your vehicle too. Just like how you have to prepare for the colder temperatures and rainy days, your vehicle also does.    The changes that accompany winter can affect our vehicles' health and safety if we don’t take the proper precautions. It is easy to forget about your vehicle during the holiday season, as we are rushing around trying to prepare. However, it is essential to remember that your vehicle needs some extra care. At The Auto Experts, we recommend bringing your vehicle to our shop before winter is here.

Wildfires have been ravaging California, and the effects of the fires are staggering. First, the Auto Experts team would like to thank all the firefighters working so hard to keep our state and communities safe and secure. We are fortunate to have you. Not only are these fires affecting California’s inhabitants, but they are also involving our vehicles, as the smoke and ash is beginning to seep into your cabin air filters.    Your cabin air filter is directly responsible for the air quality in your cabin, as it cleans the air that goes into your vehicle. This filter is placed in your vehicle’s ventilation system and will prevent dirt, dust, smoke, smog, pollen, and mold spores from entering your cabin. If your cabin air filter is dirty, your car’s ventilation, heating, and air-conditioning system will be compromised. When air passes through the filter, the filter traps these contaminants. Over time, debris will begin to accumulate in your air filter. To redu ... read more
