Why do I need the cooling system flushed?
Cooling system flush is part of ongoing preventative maintenance for any vehicle. The cooling system in your car prevents your car from overheating.  Your system circulates mixture of coolant and water throughout your engine.  Unfortunately, the coolant mix becomes contaminated over time with rust and scale, which could cause clogs and damage to the coolant system parts and prevent proper cooling off your engine causing it to overheat.


How your cooling system is flushed:
Our mechanics drain the old coolant mix, flush the system with a coolant cleaner, then we flush the remaining coolant with water.  After the system is flushed and cleaned we fill it back up with the proper mixture of coolant and water then bring the engine up to its running temperature and test the system for leaks and that all other coolant components are working properly.


Recommended Coolant Flush Services:
Your service manual should have recommendations of when to get It’s a good idea to change the coolant.  For quick reverence though, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles or whenever the low coolant level light is on or the check engine light is on is a good idea to check or replace the coolant on your car.  Additionally, if your car is overheating it may be time for the coolant to be replaced.

​On the corner of Beach and Salem st in Malden is an auto repair shop that was once a thriving repair shop and gas station called Amatos Auto Repair and then Gary’s Auto Services.

Recently the property at 12 Beach St was purchased by Eli H.........., the owner of Teele Sq Auto in Somerville who also owns Eli’s Service Station in Arlington. This is a good thing for the Linden neighborhood of Malden.  I have seen the transformation of the above mentioned auto repair shops by Eli.

The improvements will be good for the neighborhood as Eli plans big things for the Malden location including a complete makeover of the exterior of the building, repaving of the large lot, new signage and new lights to properly illuminate the property.

The shop has a new name, Eli & Gary’s Automotive Services and will be providing complete auto repair and maintenance services on all foreign and domestic cars, trucks, SUV’s, and vans. In addition to car repair, Malden residents will be able to get there cars inspected their as soon as they become a Mass Inspection Station.

If you live or work in the Malden area you won’t be disappointed with the auto repair services you will find at Eli & Gary’s Automotive Services!

There are many things to consider when looking for an auto repair shop from reputation to car repair estimates to certified auto repair shops.  Learn more from about "how to find a good auto repair shop"

I recently moved to Malden, MA a few months ago.  After finally unpacking and getting organized I decided to venture out in search of an car repair shop that could handle maintenance and repairs on my car.  I drove around to several repair shops, there are a lot of shops in Malden, and stopped in on a couple shops to chat with the mechanic or owner.  The only shop that peaked my interest was a place called Hub Starters on Broadway in Malden.  My first reaction was, why is this place named Hub Starters?  Well as it turns out the name fits as the business model from over 35 years ago was to be the hub of automobile and truck starter repair and rebuilding that morphed into a complete auto repair shop.

With so many choices for car repair shops in Malden here are the top 3 things I liked about Hub Starters:

• They are the only AAA repair shop in Malden, MA
• Over 35 years in business
• Mass State inspection station

Since moving into Malden I used Hub Starters two times, the first time for an inspection sticker and an oil change, then a couple months later for a brake job.

​Anyone new to the Malden area looking for an auto repair shop should look no further then Hub Starters.

Even though synthetic oil is more expensive it has its advantages.  Synthetic oil takes longer to breakdown so lasts longer than conventional motor oil.  Eli of Teele Square Auto in Somerville, MA says “customers that once changed their oil every 3,500 miles now go 7,000 miles between oil changes using synthetic oil"

Some car-makers require owners to use synthetic oil so be sure to check your owner’s manual.  Harry Janice of West Lynn Auto in Lynn, MA warns owners to be sure to comply with your warranty to avoid from voiding it if you don’t comply.

For older cars, synthetic motor oil has a resistance to breaking down which will help prolong the life of an older engine.  Additionally, older engines using conventional oil can began to get sludge buildup from conventional oil breaking down. Using synthetic oil for on older engines would be less likely to breaking down.  In a nut shell using synthetic oil is will prolong the life of your engine and require less oil changes says, Steve of Waverly Square Auto in Belmont MA.

 In 1973 a young man with a degree in mechanical engineering found himself looking for employment. Jobs in his field were scarce, so he started to work as a mechanic in a Volvo/Honda auto dealership.

At some point, everyone experiences a life-changing moment. This was his. Barry Innerfield (for that was the young man’s name) fell passionately in love with the little Honda Civic. (We still have one here!)

The course of true love never runs smooth. After Barry left the auto dealer, he spent several years trying other jobs in both mechanical engineering and auto repair. But he never forgot his dream of having a Honda repair shop of his own. In 1986 Barry located space in Melrose, Massachusetts, and opened LBJ. (The initials were for the members of his family, Liuda, Barry, and Jerry.)
