Rayco Automotive wants you to get 200,000 miles out of your car.  What is the secret?  A proper maintenance program that includes regular oil changes and periodic major maintenance.  eHow.com - the world's most widely read how to manual - states, "If you change your oil regularly and do major maintenance on your car, I guarantee that it will last over 200,000 miles."

Trouble-free Long Life

The key to maintaining engine longevity is simple: frequent oil changes. The oil, along with the filter, should be changed regularly for maximum engine performance.

The role of oil in a car’s engine is to protect internal parts and provide lubrication against wear.  Oil is continually circulating throughout the engine.  Over time it breaks down and accumulates substances such as dust, metallic shavings, condensation, and even antifreeze that can damage internal engine parts.

The oil filter works to trap and remove debris and other contaminants. When the oil filter becomes saturated, the oil is no longer “cleaned” and the risks posed by contaminants intensify.  Oil pressure can also suffer once the filter becomes clogged.  As a result, fuel economy decreases and the risk of emissions increases along with the potential for engine failure.



Rayco Automotive provides comprehensive service, including:

· Changing your oil filter
· Checking the air filter
· Checking and topping-off all fluids
· Lubricating all fittings
· Checking the engine for leaks
· Checking your belts and hoses
· Checking tire pressure and condition
· Checking the entire undercarriage

We make it easy for you to drop in and have this service performed.  If you have other problems with your car, we'll identify them and talk honestly with you about what we've found.  If follow up service is needed, you'll know how much it will cost and when the work can be done.  To make an appointment, give us a call at 323-8844.

Full Automotive Services

Diagnostics.  Rayco's trained and certified automotive technicians have proven themselves on hundreds of car repairs.  Our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment lets us scan and examine all values from your cars on-board computer and sensors, perform exact engine and ignition analysis, and monitor the state of your battery and electrical system.  We know exactly what needs to be done before we start working on your car.

Transmission Service.  A reliable transmission is a priority for everyone, from business people to homemakers to students to retirees.  But transmissions are often neglected until a problem develops.  As a guideline, transmissions should be serviced every 30 months or 30,000 miles.  A complete servicing includes changing the transmission fluid and filter, all gaskets and and o-rings, and adjustment of the linkage.  Keep an eye open for the following symptoms: the transmission slips, it shifts roughly, or there is a hesitation when shifting from forward to reverse. If your car exhibits these symptoms, give us a call at 323-8844 and we'll get your transmission service scheduled.

At Rayco you can "Come in, get your oil changed and also get your seats repaired or recovered.  If your door handles aren't working or your windows won't go up and down, we can fix this while we're doing your regular maintenance.  If your headliner is falling down we can handle it, plus the full range of auto repair."  Rudy Tiberi, owner.  Learn more...
Batteries and Electrical.  Today's cars are sophisticated.   What were once luxuries, like power door locks and seats, are now considered standard equipment by many drivers.  Keeping your car's electrical system operating has gotten more involved, too, as on-board computers, sensors, and climate control systems add complexity.  Our ASE certified technicans pinpoint problems accurately.  We load-test your battery to make sure you won't get caught in the cold.  And we use quality, guaranteed parts in all our repairs.

Exhaust Systems.  The worst enemy of your exhaust system is corrosion, or rust.  Rust is caused by moisture reacting with the steel exhaust pipe or muffler and forming iron oxide.  Moisture, or water vapor is present in the exhaust as a by-product of combustion.  Moisture can also come in the form of rain, which we get plenty of here in Delaware.  Also, Del DOT salts the roads in the winter time.  Salt speeds up the corrosion process and shortens the life of your exhaust system.  Because of our climate, we do a lot of muffler and exhaust system repair.  We have all the equipment you need, and always give a competitive price with our full guarantee.
Marine upholstery and canvas, too, using the finest materials.  We do boat covers, seats, bimini tops, carpeting, camper tops, mooring covers—everything needed to competely update the look of your boat.  Come in and see our selection of Sunbrella fabrics and our gallery of before & after photos.  Learn more...
