The Camarillo area has seen a spike in thefts of Catalytic Converters from underneath of cars. Catalytic Converters are an essential component in vehicles to prevent engine exhaust gasses from polluting the environment. These components contain precious metals that fetch high prices when recycled. Many contain platinum that can bring more than $1,000 per ounce. The theft of catalytic converters is easy because removal is often as simple as removing a few bolts. The thieves can conceal their actions because the converters are underneath of the car. Very High Replacement Costs Some vehicle makes and models are bigger targets because of the value of the catalytic converter and the ease of removal. For example, currently Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia are very common targets. To replace a catalytic converter can cost as much as $1500 to $2500. Here’s How Camarillo Car Care is Helping You Deter a Theft in Your V ... read more

Maximize your gas mileage with these helpful tips With the price of gasoline today, the subject of fuel economy has become more important. Here at Camarillo Car Care, we have made a checklist of a few of the most important factors in maximizing your MPG’s. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our staff. Enjoy. Also, you’ll probably be surprised at how many miles you can drive for $1.00 of gas today.

Regularly check and replace dirty air filters: An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” fuel mixture. This means too much fuel ... read more
