At Auto Care By Kenely, Inc in Orangevale, efficiency is a concept that interests us. While your fuel economy is largely dependent on what kind of car, truck, or SUV you drive, there are a variety of tips and tricks to get the most bang for your buck. We’ve provided a few of our favorites here.

Automatic transmissions are the default now - with efficiency approaching or surpassing that of manual transmissions, and automatics with 8 or 10 electronically controlled gears, it’s no surprise they’ve gained so much popularity over the past few decades. But where did it all start? Auto Care By Kenely, Inc in Orangevale, CA has the answers.

At Auto Care By Kenely, Inc in Orangevale, we know that some of the most elusive issues with any car, truck, or SUV are often caused by the simplest of malfunctions.

Does your car, truck, or SUV shift at the wrong moment? Auto Care By Kenely, Inc in Orangevale has the solution. Shift point issues can manifest themselves in two ways; either your car will rapidly shift through several or all the gears at low speed, low rpm, getting to the highest gear before you’ve gained enough momentum, or shifts will be delayed, the transmission refusing to shift until far into the RPM range.
