Calculate Your True Cost-Per-Mile Before You Trade Your Car
Thinking about trading in your car for one with better gas mileage? Before you make that decision, it’s important to understand your true cost-per-mile. Your current car may be more cost-effective than a new vehicle once you factor in payments, repairs, insurance, registration, fuel, and other costs.

There are several ways we can help improve the gas mileage of your current vehicle. Things like:
Checking your transmission for excessive slip and proper converter clutch operation.
Checking tire pressures, checking the battery and electrical systems for excessive draw, and checking for dragging brakes.
Checking the computer system for diagnostic trouble codes and updated reprogramming.
Checking the engine oil, servicing the fuel system, checking for induction and exhaust-related problems.
These items are often overlooked and over time can reduce your gas mileage. As an ATRA Repair Center, we do more than repair transmissions, our goal is to help you with your transportation needs and help you get the most out of your car.
