That Dreaded Check Engine Light.

Doesn’t the very mention of this little light on our dashboard make us cringe?  When we see it the first thing we tend to do is look away.  Maybe when I glance back it will be gone.  You know better, but you are hoping against hope.  Waiting and hoping can lead to waiting for a tow truck on the side of a snowy road.

With the variety of vehicles on the road that dreaded glare could mean so many different things.  Maybe the car’s computer needs to be reprogrammed (Henry Ford would roll in his grave).  An engine diagnostic is needed, or a smoke test, or the air suspension, or the evaporative emission system.  Yikes, the list goes on and on!

It takes a pro to fix what may be ailing your vehicle’s heart.  That pro is a phone call away in Kansas City.  Fortunately, if you act quickly any major problems may be averted.  Make an appointment as soon as possible to see the A-Team.  That’s Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Call them at (913) 321-1030.

Repairing your Engines Diagnostics.

It used to be a whole lot easier.  In this day and age your vehicle is a rolling computer.  Most cars are equipped with an onboard system that controls your car’s performance.  Some of those areas are the fuel injection system, the spark plugs, and even the steering mechanism.  It is hard to keep your car on the road if you can’t steer it!

We have learned to become familiar with the “check engine light”.  Thank heaven for it.  If your body had one you could avoid a lot of grief in the future.  This light gives you the time that you need (hopefully) to get a problem under control before your car shuts down.  Don’t be one of those people who drives around for days with that light staring at you.

If you want to save a lot of money, get your vehicle’s engine checked immediately.  The long term consequences may cost you thousands of dollars.  If you are driving around the Kansas City area and that dreaded light goes on make your next stop Able Auto Service.  Rob and his crew “The A-Team” have been keeping KC cars on the road for a long, long, time.  Call them at (913) 321-1030.

Is Your Car’s Engine Speaking to You?

Maybe just recently the engine in your vehicle has behaved just a little bit unusually.  Right now, since spring is nearly here, you might choose to ignore it since warmer weather is ahead.  At the very first sign of trouble you need to have your engine checked.  Problems under the hood may be caused by a variety of different things.

A great, certified mechanic will check for things such:

1.  Diagnostics - a modern term that your father would not have considered.

2.  Reprogramming your vehicle’s computer. I guarantee your father had no experience with that!

3.  Smoke testing

4.  Air suspension

5.  ABS Light Diagnostics and more
