It’s always a good idea to have a certified master technician inspect your vehicle’s safety items while your car is in the air for an oil change. Early detection of potential problems can be resolved for a much less costly expense. This is the main reason for not having your oil changed at a quick lube facility! Your vehicles manufacture has established specified intervals and levels of service for your vehicle. For the most part we agree with what your manfacture has specified for your vehicle. However we do not agree with most oil change intervals specified by the manfacture. And with good cause and for the following reason: The quality of synthetic oils have gotten far better over the years and they don’t really deterioate easily – they just get dirty with carbon particles. Oil filters have gotten smaller and load up faster and have reduced filtering capacity. The result is that they load up quicker and a bypass check valve opens at higher engine speeds to allow unfiltered oil pass through the engine with carbon particles in the oil to wear out your engine faster. We handle all aspects of computer diagnostics on your vehicle. From module programming to communication problems between modules on the CAN Data Bus System (basically a network comunication within your vehicle) We identify commuication problems between modules (small computers) and re-establish communication between them. Your vehicle will preform better with communication paths restored.Advantages
