You are probably already aware of all of the items in your vehicle that are now computerized. Many newer vehicles are essentially computers on wheels. With this evolution, the engine is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment. Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations demand that today's vehicles use electronic engine control systems to curb carbon emissions and increase fuel efficiency. With advanced control systems taking the place of simple engine components, common maintenance services such as tune-ups become less vital. Your vehicle still requires regular services (such as spark plug and filter replacements). You will also need a computerized analysis of your vehicle's control computer. Our technicians provide these basic services.

There are a number of reasons you may need diagnostic services for your vehicle. Here are a couple:

• If you have a check engine light or service engine soon light, basic diagnostic services would include scanning your vehicle’s computer system for diagnostic trouble codes and then diagnosing the reason for them.

• Even without a malfunction indicator lamp or fault message, you may experience poor engine performance, poor fuel economy, or other issues that would require a technician to scan your vehicle’s computer system to see how it is running. Such data is critical to understanding why your vehicle is performing or not performing the way it is.
