Avoid Expensive Car Repairs with These Diagnostic Services

When that dreaded check engine light turns on, it’s time to schedule an appointment with Auto Specialty of Lafayette, Inc. Our diagnostic services can not only detect any current issues with your vehicle, but can also discover any potential problems before they become expensive repairs. Whether it’s the engine, transmission, brake, or exhaust system, your vehicle is in the best of hands with our experienced mechanics.


Engine

Several faulty parts or damaged systems can interfere with a well-working engine. Our wireless diagnostic tools can scan your diesel or petrol car, and check for issues with the fuel injector, pumps, fuel lines, valves, and more. 

Transmission

Transmission repairs can be very expensive, depending on the exact problem. Some vehicle owners choose to forgo rebuilding a transmission if the cost outweighs the investment. Let our mechanics first identify the problem, along with what needs to be fixed, and how much it will cost, before you make this type of fiscal decision.

Brakes

There are obvious signs of problems with your brakes, such as screeching and grinding sounds when you press on the brake pedal, a shaking steering wheel, or the smell of burning metal. When the brake warning light comes on, it can be difficult to identify the cause of the issue without a diagnostic test

Exhaust System

A properly-working exhaust system can not only reduce the emission of harmful pollutants from your car, but it can also provide you with amazing fuel economy. When either of these areas doesn’t seem to be working well, make an appointment for a diagnostic check. Along with both emissions and fuel economy, our diagnostic services can also identify issues related to the catalytic converter, such as the oxygen sensor, spark plugs, and check valves.

Professional Diagnostic Services

Don’t wait too long for a diagnostic check of your diesel or petrol vehicle. Make an appointment by contacting us at (765) 477-7300. We also provide several other repairs including brake repairs, diesel engines services, service light maintenance, tune-ups, oil changes, wheel alignments, tire repairs and replacement, and exhaust systems in Lafayette and the surrounding areas.
