Nobody - I mean nobody wants a high repair bill. Ever! So why ignore the easy things like filters and fluids? Here at Hans' Auto & Truck Clinic our Delmar drivers know that their car and truck’s filters are important to the longevity of that vehicle as well as the interior comfort. Maximize your car investment by replacing filters regularly. The oil filter traps contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. The fuel filter separates harmful contaminants that may cause problems with carburetors or intricate fuel injectors. The air filter traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons and piston rings. The air filter also plays a role in keeping contaminants off the airflow sensor (in fuel-injected cars). The cabin filter helps trap pollen, bacteria and dust that may find their way into a car’s ventilation system. Keeping the filters and fluids changed regularly is simply a win-win solution!

Every vehicle - whether new or old - must receive regular maintenance to keep running at peak performance. Check to see if your vehicle may be over-due for a 3,500-mile, 7,500-mile, 15,000-mile, 30,000-mile, 60,000-mile or 90,000-mile service. Hans' Auto & Truck Clinic in Delmar would like to share with you the following suggested guidleines for routine maintenance. If you have any questions, or would like us to give you a hand, call or come by Hans' Auto & Truck Clinic today.

Always great, quick, and polite service. I take all my vehicles there all the time! - David B.

My family and I have used Hans and his mechanics for 15 years now without a single experience that was less than perfection. He is honest, does great work, and makes sure the work lasts. In my opinion he is a dying breed of mechanic: the kind that do their job honestly, well and to the highest standard. Dealers will gouge you and others will take advantage. Hans will not. - Laurin M.
