Vehicle Tips
According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.)
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
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.
-
Vehicle Tips
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
-
Vehicle Tips
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
-
Vehicle Tips
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
-
Vehicle Tips
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
-
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Best BMW care in town, minus the dealer prices, Ed and the gang are the most professional mechanic crew in town.

Over the last 10 years I have taken all 5 of my cars to this shop and have always received an honest answer about the condition of my vehicle, the options including cost to repair, and estimated time of completion. I trust the owner to help me with understand my extended warranty coverage and how it can help to absorb some cost. They even wash the cars for me if I request.

Ed will go above & beyond to make sure you are satisfied! I'm a customer for life. He picked my SL500 up (about 20 miles away) fixed it & then offered to deliver it!

Wow wow, I am so glad I found LSOM for both my BMW's service needs. Ed and his team are very down to earth and laid back people. My X5 requires rare differential fluid that guys at LSOM supplied within 30 minutes.

I have been very satisfied with the quality of work this shop puts out when working on my vehicle. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They made sure I was thoroughly satisfied before leaving their business. Highly recommend them for the above and also because they specialize in working on European vehicles.

I've been using Edward for 15 years! He's extremely dependable, always honest with the work that was done. Wouldn't even doubt going to another mechanic. Incredible prices doesn't even come close to dealership quotes. Every question or concern I have is always addressed. Best Mechanic in Houston !

Best BMW shop in Houston. I have been to 5 other shops around town. This guy is the best hands down. Fair pricing, Awesome Service and no BS!

...Being a girl, it's important to find a decent mechanic who isn't going to take advantage of you simply for being a woman who doesn't know about cars. This is your place!

Ed went above and beyond and ended up far exceeding my expectations! If you have a Euro vehicle that needs Servicing and need a skilled and genuine individual working on your prized possession, you may want to get in contact with Ed. His level of personalism and professionalism were amazing! I will never go anywhere else to have my BMW serviced. Thanks Ed for everything! Highly trusted and recommended, down to earth and actually cares about their customers.

I've used this company for over 10 years now. I followed them from their old location. I've had no problem referring them to my friends. They're very reliable, trustworthy, honest and friendly. The owner is awesome!

I've been using Ed for at least 6 years. I needed a mechanic to service my 2009 BMW 535 when my factory service warranty expired...Over the years I can honestly say not only has Ed been the best mechanic I have ever worked with, he has become a good friend. If that doesn't speak for itself I don't know what else to say. Check out Little Shop of Motors you will not be disappointed!!

I have been going to Little Shop of Motors for over 15 years. Whenever my BMW goes out the warranty, I only take it here. By far the best value for the best qualified shop in Houston. Very honest and has always treated me well. More than half price of BMW dealerships and equal quality.
