Check Engine Light & OBD-II Scans

A glowing check engine light is your car’s way of telling you something is wrong. Symptoms that often accompany it include:

  • A steady or flashing check engine light
  • A noticeable drop in fuel efficiency
  • The vehicle running rougher than usual

We use modern OBD-II scanners to retrieve trouble codes from your vehicle’s computer. This points us to the affected system, allowing for an accurate and efficient repair.

Electrical System Testing

Your car’s electrical system powers everything from the starter to the radio. If you’re experiencing issues, it’s best to get it tested. Signs of electrical problems include:

  • Dimming headlights or interior lights
  • Difficulty starting the vehicle
  • A battery that repeatedly dies

Our technicians can diagnose issues with your battery, alternator, starter, and wiring to ensure your vehicle starts reliably and all electronic components function correctly.

Driveability & Performance Issues

Problems with acceleration, idling, or fuel economy can make your vehicle frustrating and unsafe to drive. Common signs of driveability issues include:

  • Rough idling or engine misfires
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Hesitation or stalling during acceleration

We investigate these problems using advanced techniques, including smoke testing to find vacuum leaks and in-depth fuel and air delivery analysis to restore your vehicle’s performance.
