    • 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.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • I have been taking my Cadillac to Tips for years and have had the best service ever. Mark the owner is very professional. I couldn't ask for more of a service center. He also has sold me cars. I would recommend Tips to everyone. He has been in the Southbay since 1976, so he must be doing something right!


    -Sue T.

  • Tips is by far the best! I recommend anyone looking for service to go here, amazing customer service, the owner Mark is one of the most honest and trustworthy mechanic's in the business, which is hard to find. If I could give more stars I would. He always takes great care of me and my car!


    -Taryn T.

  • I have used Tips Cadillac in the past for service on my mothers Cadillac, as well as my GMC Sierra. They did a 120k service in less than a day. I dropped it off first thing in the morning, and expected to have to get picked up from there, and to my surprise, they offered me a loan car for free! I couldn't believe it! Most places don't even wanna drop you off anywhere, and they just threw me the keys to a caddy!


    -Bradley R.

  • The owner, Mark Tippett is the most knowledgeable person available for all of your automotive needs. He has worked on my 2002 Deville and my 2008 CTS-V. There is none better than him. He will only replace what is needed and is the only honest mechanic I have ever dealt with. I would never consider taking my car to anyone else.


    -Reed R.

  • I've been going to Tips for about 3 or 4 years now. I can honestly say I wouldn't take my Tahoe any other place to get serviced. The prices are fair, they always have time to make my repair. They've loaned me a car when the part didn't come in on time and they were worried that my Tahoe was unsafe to drive.


    -Tony R.

  • I believe the people at Tips are the types of people we want in our lives. Honest, sincere, hard working, and friendly. They have become my go-to shop for anything related to my car moving forward. It's a smaller shop, and they definitely care about customer satisfaction.


    -Kay L.

  • When it comes to great service on your Cadillac or any GM vehicle, I have to say, there is no other shop that can give you dealership/ factory quality at affordable rates. I brought them my 1990 Cadillac ElDorado Biarritz and they brought it back from the dead. From day 1 Mark Tippet was a pleasure to deal with and knowledgeable about all things Cadillac. I mean, how could he not with about 40 years servicing Cadillac vehicles.


    -Peter C.

  • Thanks for the torque wrench! They are ready to help get your car back on the road in an emergency. They went above and beyond when they did not need to and it shows what kind of mechanics they are.


    -Don L.

  • Sergio is the best mechanic around. We've bought several cars from Tips and we love the service we get. Thank you Sergio and Mark.


    -Trevor D.

  • Great service, Sergio is always helpful, explains the good, the bad and the horrific. Keep up the great work guys.
