Archive for September 2019On Board Diagnostics for Garner MotoristsPosted September 29, 2019 11:23 AMSome Garner vehicle owners wonder why Matt Davis Auto and other Garner auto repair shops charge a fee for vehicle diagnostics. Receiving a diagnostic charge at Matt Davis Auto for a tricky automotive problem shouldn't be a surprise. In the Garner area, automotive diagnostics can cover quite a range. If you hear a noise in your vehicle brakes when you slow down in rush-hour traffic on a busy NC road, you pull off at the next off-ramp and take a quick visual check. That is usually enough to know what needs to be done. If you're having an intermittent problem with your vehicle engine, however, a Matt Davis Auto diagnosis may be much more involved. There's a common misconception among NC drivers that the trouble code tells the Matt Davis Auto technician exactly what's wrong. They wonder why there is a diagnostic charge because the scanner quickly gave the diagnosis. In reality, it is not that easy and straightforward. The computer monitors many sensors throughout the vehicle. When one of these sensors has a reading that's out of parameters, the computer will record a trouble code and turn on the Check Engine light. Some diagnoses are quick and easy. Others are more involved, time-consuming and difficult. Of course Matt Davis Auto wants to figure out what's wrong with your vehicle and get you back on the road as quickly as possible. Matt Davis Auto Automotive Tips from Matt Davis Auto: Alignment InspectionPosted September 22, 2019 12:47 PMUneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Garner drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment. The Easy Way to Save Cash in GarnerPosted September 15, 2019 11:37 AMThe hottest NC news story may be different every day, but there's one topic that seems to come up over and over again – the price of gas in Garner. If you feel like most of your paycheck goes into your gas tank, this post is for you. Here are several basic things people in Garner can do to greatly reduce their gas consumption, save money, and help the environment. You can really improve your fuel economy by how you drive – but first, here's a review of things you can do for your vehicle that'll save gas no matter how you drive. Another important item is to keep your air filter clean. An air filter all clogged up with dirt and bugs doesn't let enough clean air through to efficiently burn fuel. Using a dirty air filter will cost you almost 2 miles per gallon/.85 km per liter in reduced fuel economy. And worn spark plugs can cost about the same. A spark plug can fire as many as 3,000,000 times for every 1,000 miles/1,600 km driven. Check the vehicle owner's manual for replacement recommendations. One item Garner residents seldom think about is their gas cap. A worn, loose or missing gas cap can cost another 2 miles per gallon/.85 km per liter. Adding up all of these worn, missing or sub-par items leads to a total of almost 11.4 miles per gallon/4.85 km per liter in reduced fuel economy! And with current gas prices in the Garner area, the cost really adds up. Taking care of these simple maintenance items will save Garner drivers at the pump. Now most vehicles aren't missing on all of these items, but think about which ones might affect you right now! And don't forget tune-ups, dragging brakes, low transmission fluid, fuel system cleaning, wheels out of alignment, PCV valve, fuel filter and other services spelled out in your owner's manual. Matt Davis Auto Give Your Engine Clean Fuel with a New Fuel Filter from Matt Davis AutoPosted September 8, 2019 9:53 AMYour vehicle requires plenty of clean fuel to run. If your fuel contains contaminants, your fuel injectors will eventually become clogged up. When this happens, your vehicle engine may not get the proper amount of fuel at the correct pressure to run at peak performance. This hurts performance as you drive around the Garner area. It can also lead to the buildup of harmful deposits on valves and in the combustion chamber. Matt Davis Auto Fall and Spring Checkup in GarnerPosted September 1, 2019 11:29 AM
