    • 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.

What our clients say about us?

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • Great experience


    -Jeremiah S.

  • I couldn't ask for a better friendly place to take my auto needs than Steve and Company! I know when my car goes in for scheduled maintenance or issues I will be treated right and fairly. Depending on the problem and how busy they are, Steve and Company usually have my issues resolved the same day, especially if I have an appointment. If there are issues, they will call me, explain the problem, what it will take to fix it, how long it will take to fix it and an estimate.


    -Morgaine C.

  • Employees are Awesome and so friendly. Service is amazing


    -Jeannie E.

  • I cannot say enough good things about Columbia Car Care. They have been wonderful to me. The service is excellent, reasonably priced; and if there is an issue, they take care of it. I highly recommend Columbia Car Care to anyone in the Columbia area.


    -Carole R.

  • Great folks who keeps my car running well


    -Damien T.

  • These guys are amazing! They take time to explain what's going on, and they are all friendly!


    -Jax K.

  • Always fast and friendly up front pricing


    -John L.

  • They've been good with my family's cars for years.


    -Joshua N.

  • We were on a family vacation just passing through Columbia when our motorhome broke down and we found ourselves stranded. Camping World recommended Columbia Car Care to us and after the exceptional service, quality repair, and amazing price I'm recommending them to you. My impressions after my dealing with them is they are professional, caring, capable, and fair. Thanks Donny!


    -Travis C.

  • Exceptional service. They just forgot to look at my air filter like they said they would. But I don't think that's a big deal. We're only human, mistakes will happen, but their service, speediness, willingness to discuss matters and not make you feel pressured into doing any extra work is by far the better experience here. They pretty much just tell you what's wrong, what needs to be fixed soon or pretty much that moment, but they 100% let you decide for yourself without that car salesman attitude or pressure you'd get buying a car. I love it here, will continue going here all the time! I strongly recommend these guys!


    -Justin G.

  • Honest and upfront. A rare quality in that industry.


    -Jared G.

  • I had two other estimates completed at different shops within Columbia. Columbia Car Care had best estimate and was negotiable. Work was excellent and service was great!


    -Cody O.

  • Great guys, honest and fair. Been going there for years and keep recommending them!


    -Sara L.

  • Was just traveling through stopped here to make sure everything was okay and they went above and beyond for me!!! Extremely kind and so helpful. Wish they were my regular mechanics!


    -Lacie C.

  • As a woman who knows very little about cars, finding Columbia Car Care was a major relief. The staff (especially Kayla, the receptionist) are kind and do an excellent job of helping you understand what's going on with your vehicle. I have never felt talked down to or schmoozed.


    -Emily F.

  • I keep going back because I trust they'll always do a great job and are honest. They don't try to sell you things you don't need!


    -Kathy T.

  • Donnie showed me personally exactly what was wrong with my car. Another place in town had warrantied me but claimed my faulty parts under warranty were not faulty...when I told Donnie that I could not afford their service but it broke my heart that the other people ripped me off, he not only refused to charge me to look at my vehicle...but he called the company that had ripped me off and told them what they were doing was awful ... First time in my life a mechanic ever helped me and didn't even take my money ...
