• Fuel System/Emissions Cleaning
• Gas mileage or performance not what it used to be? Engine Idling too slow or running rough? does your car feel like it might stall or is it getting harder to start? You may just need to maintain your fuel system.
• Our Fuel System Service will maintain your vehicle's fuel system and prevent loss of performance or fuel efficiency.
• Your fuel system is comprised of the fuel tank, lines, pump and filter as well as the fuel injectors or carburetor, combustion chambers and intake valves. Build-up of deposits and dirt in the fuel system, particularly in the intake valves, combustion chambers and fuel injectors reduce power and performance and increase harmful emissions. This 3-part treatment was developed to address each of these areas as well as dispersing water and other contaminants to treat not just your fuel injectors but the entire fuel system! Benefits of a properly maintained fuel system include smoother idling, less stalling, improved throttle response, smoother acceleration and cleaner emissions.
• Tune-Up/Diagnostic
• Tune Up / DiagnosticWear parts like Spark Plugs last longer than ever, often between 50-160,000kms depending on design but a clean air and fuel filter can also make a difference.
• Modern ignition systems are becoming increasingly complex, they are equipped with sophisticated on-board computers that rely on a number of modules and sensors working together to keep your engine running smoothly. Sometimes parts fail. We have the tools and talent to track down your 'Check Engine Gremlin'.
• Check Engine lights can be triggered by any number of on-board events. From a loose gas cap to a faulty sensor or even the occasional false alarm. We can reset the light and tell you what it means before problems develop.
• Brakes
• Check BrakesSometimes it starts with a squeal, other times you don't realize you need brakes until you really need them. That is why your brakes should be checked every year. The best way to avoid costly repairs is by identifying and replacing wear components as soon as they are needed.
• Other signs of brake issues:
• Noise such as squealing, groaning or grinding
• Vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal
• Loss of brake performance
• ABS Light on the das
