Yes—if repairs are needed we can often sort them there and then if we have the right parts. If not, we’ll tell you what’s needed and schedule the work.

Often yes. Incorrect readings, faulty sensors or misfiring parts can cause inefficiency. Once fixed, your car should run more smoothly, consume less fuel, and produce fewer emissions.
