WHY ALL THE FUSS?
If you’ve ever wondered why it is more complicated to diagnose an engine problem than it used to be, consider the fact that sophisticated computers now manage the fuel
injection system, the ignition, and more. As a result, today’s vehicles
emit less than a tenth of the tailpipe emissions (excluding C02) of their
carbureted predecessors. This drastic cut in emissions is due in large part to tighter control of ignition
timing and air/fuel ratio. However, an auto mechanic can no longer lift up the hood of a car and make simple
adjustments to the carburetor. Instead, it takes a trained auto technician and a scan tool capable of analyzing trouble codes and data
streams to diagnose computer and sensor problems.
Clearly, proper maintenance is vital to the longevity of your car.
Keeping to the recommended maintenance schedule now can mean another 100,000 miles down the
road. Our technicians are ASE Certified, which means you know
that we have the experience and know-how to give your car the care and attention it will need to crank the speedometer a second time. Call 952-473-4848 today for an appointment.
