    • 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 am a traveling Nurse working in Battle Creek, MI. I own a '04 Cadillac CTS. My employer referred me to Bailey's Park Auto. The service, the professionalism, and the prices are fair and reasonable in comparison to other repair shop I have done business with. Thank you!!


    -Ms.Husdon

  • Great service, friendly people, and trustworthy. The clutch in my car stopped working and they were able to pinpoint the problem, fix it, and put me back on the road in under two days. It has been a couple weeks since then and everything is still in great shape. Definitely will return to Bailey Park Auto for any future car issues.


    -Becky M.

  • My husband and I have been taking our cars to Bailey Park Auto for 10 years and I would recommend them to anyone. We have been extremely satisfied. They are honest and extremely competent. They always explain the problem very well and keep us informed. They take a lot of the worry out of car maintenance. Thanks Bailey Park!


    -Rebecca H.

  • They were so kind and professional. I would easily take my vehicle from Detroit to Battle Creek for ANY and ALL repairs to Bailey's. They didn't try to take advantage of me or anything. What a relief to find them. I used to live in Battle Creek a couple of years ago, and never knew they were there. So glad I finally found them.


    -Sheba S.

  • I have been using Bailey Park Automotive for the past 20+ years. Andy, Brian, and his employees are truthful, honest, and do excellent work. I trust them with my life and that of my family. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

    -A.G. U. - Battle Creek, MI

  • Hands down my place to bring any car. Started going here 13 years ago with my very first car and I still make the trip back from Grand Rapids when I need work done.


    -E. Drewry - Grand Rapids, MI

    -BC - Battle Creek, MI

  • I've been using B. P. Auto since returning to Battle Creek over a year ago upon a recommendation. I've been impressed and overjoyed, if one can really be overjoyed about having to have your car serviced, since my 1st encounter. The owner and staff are excellent! They take the time to explain the problem in understandable terms. They will even pull you into the bay area to show you the problem, and explain their plan to fix it. I usually don't write reviews even if I like something a lot, however the fact that they rectified a problem for me today at no cost, not even for parts which may have been minimal, but still.... Almost 2hrs worth of labor and a couple of belts on a 17 yr old car not in pristine condition. They finished and told me if the noise occurred again other measures may be needed and sent me on my way at no cost! B.P. Auto truly exhibits service the way service should be, great value for the cost!
