Service and 50 points checkup

Driving a car is a big responsibility. Your safety, the safety of your passengers and those of other road users rides on the road-worthiness of your car. Most of us would only think of using a Vehicle Inspection and Evaluation service when we are either selling our car or thinking of buying a used car.

A Vehicle Inspection and Evaluation service can be more than that. The 50-point check report can be useful for cars that have been on the road for more than 5 years. The check will be able to tell you what parts have worn out, what needs to be repaired or replaced.

The Vehicle Evaluation basically evaluates the market place price of the vehicle and will take about 30 minutes. The Vehicle Inspection is more detailed and specific. This inspection would take about 1 hour to complete.

Engine Diagnostics

An engine diagnostic is a test which is performed to learn more about why an engine is not functioning properly. Engine diagnostics can be performed by skilled home mechanics with the proper equipment, or a car can be taken into a mechanic or dealer for diagnosis. The engine diagnostic is used to gather data which can be utilized in the repair of the vehicle, and it can also be used during things like emissions testing, in which a car is checked to confirm that it adheres to emissions standards for vehicles in its class.

Performing an engine diagnostic starts with plugging a device into the car's onboard computer. There is usually a space to do this just under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. The device interfaces with the computer, returning a diagnostic code which can be referenced against a list of codes for vehicles from that manufacturer. If the engine is in good working condition, the device will inform the user. If there is a problem, one or several codes may be displayed.

Codes can mean a wide variety of things. During an engine diagnostic, the mechanic determines what is causing each code to display, for the purpose of developing an estimate to let a driver know how much it will cost to address a problem. Sometimes, the issue is simple, while in other cases, it can be very complex.

Performance & Tuning

An automobile is a complex integration of many mechanical devices. Car tuning is the process of maintaining or enhancing the mechanical performance of an automobile. This tuning typically includes adjustments to power, handling, and overall performance.

Cars require periodic maintenance to work properly. Each area of the car has specific maintenance requirements. Car tuning should be part of a scheduled maintenance program, which is defined by the car manufacturer. Some examples of periodic maintenance include oil changes, spark plug replacement, and brake replacement.

Computerized car tuning is a standard practice. The modern automobile is designed with sophisticated electronics that can provide diagnostics for mechanics. This helps a mechanic quickly determine how to resolve issues with vehicle tuning.

Most advanced car tuning modifications include adjustments to the suspension system of the vehicle. An automobile suspension determines how the car handles on the road. This suspension is typically modified for specific types of road surface. To understand this, think of off-road trucks. These automobiles use heavy duty shocks designed for rough road surfaces.

Horsepower and other motor performance parts also benefit from car tuning. This type of tuning is designed to make the vehicle faster. Most power modifications will decrease overall gas mileage because the motor will burn more fuel.

Wheel care

Potholes, road wear and even accidents can knock your vehicle out of alignment.

Wheel alignments help provide optimal tire wear and vehicle handling.

Service Details

During a four-wheel alignment, alignment specialists measure and correct wheel angles so they're set to vehicle manufacturer specifications. They also:

• Ensure proper placement of weight around all tires and rim assemblies
• Completely inspect steering and suspension systems
• Adjust wheel angles so they're perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other

Why is a wheel alignment important for my vehicle?

• Proper wheel alignments can help improve your driver safety, create a smoother ride, and help increase fuel efficiency
• Alignments could save you hundreds of dollars on replacing tires due to premature treadwear

When should I bring my vehicle in for a wheel alignment?

Most manufacturers recommend getting a four-wheel alignment at least once a year. Other times you may need a front-end or four-wheel alignment include:

• After purchasing a set of new tires
• After a collision, accident, or hitting a large pothole
• When replacing suspension or steering parts
• If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side when driving
• If your steering feels unstable or you feel a vibration
• If your tires are wearing unevenly or squeal on turns

Accident Collision Repair

A collision repair technician is an auto body mechanic who specializes in repairing vehicles that have been damaged in accidents. A professional performs both small repair jobs, such as bumping out dents and smoothing impurities, and complete overhauls that can involve fabricating and replacing entire body panels. Most technicians are employed by large chain establishments or smaller private collision repair shops, but some choose to open their own businesses.

Technicians utilize a number of different tools and techniques in their work. Depending on the job at hand, a technician might need to hammer, level, shape, and smooth pieces. Dents that cannot be hammered out are filled in with specialized putties that must be repeatedly applied and sanded to achieve the correct shape.

If doors or fenders are severely damaged or rusted, a collision repair technician can fabricate new pieces out of raw materials. He or she takes careful measurements, cuts out precise templates, rivets and welds new sheets into place, and sands down rough edges. Warped frames often require additional, intensive metalwork to ensure proper alignment and stability. With the body back in good shape, the car can be sent to a paint booth to finish the repair job.

Paint Shop

Auto paint has changed dramatically since the late 1800s, and today’s market offers no less than four different types to choose from. Let’s take a quick look at the different kinds of auto paint and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

The four basic types of paint available today are: acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, acrylic urethane and water-based. We'll drop 'acrylic' and simply refer to them as lacquers, enamels, urethanes and water-based.

Lacquer-based auto paint was popular between the mid 1920s and 1960s, and is still available today, though it has become illegal in certain areas. Lacquer paint is cheap and goes on easy for the inexperienced painter, plus it provides a nice high gloss. However, it also chips easily being a relatively “soft” paint, and it doesn’t stand up well to UV and chemicals, making it a short-lived paint job. Lacquer auto paint is available in aerosol spray cans and for use with spray guns, but is not generally recommended.

Enamel paints dry to a hard shell making them tougher than lacquer paints. Professional shops bake on enamel paint in heated bays or "ovens," but enamels are also available in aerosol cans and for use with spray guns. Enamels, while tougher than lacquer, do not lay down as easily as lacquer paint, making them trickier for the Do-It-Yourselfer (DIYer) to apply. This translates to more finishing work. Some enamel colors require a clear topcoat, known as a two-stage system, while others can be used alone, referred to as a single-stage system.
