- Oil ChangeFantastic garage for repairs. Gotten my oil done twice since I moved 2 years ago and both times I've been treated as a friend, not someone to swindle. Came in today for an oil change. I've known 2 of my brake lights were out. I have the bulbs but just haven't gotten to changing them. As I was waiting, I was approached and told my lights were out and that they replaced them free of charge. If you need work done, I highly recommend making an appointment online as you'll never know if they're busy or not. Fantastic garage that I highly recommend and will be coming to for years to come.
- Engine Diagnostic
- Emissions InspectionThe Check Engine light is on, now what? The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) takes a few different forms. It can be a picture, symbol, or an icon of an engine; it can say “Service Engine Soon” or simply “Check Engine”. What it means is that one of the computers that manage your cars vital systems has recorded a fault and wants you to know about it. It can represent over 2500 different faults and until you hook up a Scan tool to the OBD data port, you can’t be sure what it means. In 1996, any car sold in the US, must have an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) connector in it. They are usually located near the base of the steering column or under the dash. This is how Automobile Technicians hook into the cars network to gather information. Vehicles have used computers to manage vital systems since the 1970’s. The Engine is monitored by the ECM (Engine Control Module) the Transmission is monitored by the TCM. Body functions like windows, door locks, etc., are monitored by the BCM and so on. These modules communicate and share information on both High Speed and Low speed networks. ECM codes are generally P codes, Transmission codes are also P codes. BCM codes are B codes and Chassis codes are C codes. Communications problems are usually U codes. The Check Engine light does not represent a single problem rather simply telling you that something is in need of attention. The most common codes relate to the vehicles Emissions system and will not affect drivability but will cause the car to fail emissions. In fact a person should never attempt to go through the state emission testing process with the light on. It’s a guaranteed failure and why waste $27? Another common code appears if you don’t tighten the Fuel Cap after refueling. Some seniors with poor strength in their hands have a hard time screwing down the cap until it clicks. As a vehicle ages it becomes more common for the light to appear. Don’t freak out but do get it checked out. If the light is on and flashing, it’s likely to be a more serious issue like a miss fire that can ruin a Catalytic Converter. When you start your car you will see the light for a moment as the instrument cluster does it’s light and system check. It should go off almost immediately if all is well. Today’s vehicles are much more reliable than ever but that does not mean they don’t develop issues. It’s impossible to simply look at a component and determine if it’s working properly. The code obtained by scanning a vehicle may or may not point directly at the problem. You could get a code for an oxygen sensor but you can’t blame the sensor if a rodent ate through a wire going to the sensor. Sometimes a Check Engine Light will come on and then go out. The fault is still recorded in the appropriate module but it usually refers to an intermittent problem that currently does not exist. A good example of this is a sensor that swings in and out of acceptable performance range. There are three types of code
