- Emissions InspectionThe short answer is because all vehicles in Lubbock, TX are required to be inspected annually. The longer answer involves protecting yourself and other motorists sharing the road by driving a safe vehicle. Safety inspections are required throughout Texas, but you are only required to get emissions tests in some counties. Lubbock and Hockley County does not require emissions testing.
- Fuel Injection Service/RepairFuel additives and better injectors make cleaning the fuel intake system less crucial than in the old days. But a mechanic should still check these periodically, especially since reformulated gas has made a comeback in some areas, increasing your chances of a clogged injector and a loss of engine performance. If you’re past the 50,000 mile mark, it’s time to get your fuel injection system cleaned.
- Transmission ServiceFor those of you who aren't mechanically savvy, you probably still understand that transmission problems are among the most expensive repairs required for your vehicle. That's because your transmission is a complex system of gears that transmit mechanical power to your engine, ultimately determining the rate of speed you travel. Transmissions convert this power from the engine so that it can supply high torque at low speeds, in addition to selecting which gears are appropriate based on the driving conditions. This is especially true with automatic transmissions-by far the most popular transmissions found in the US. Rather than using a clutch to engage the transmission, automatic transmissions use a torque converter (between the engine and transmission) to control the number of gears when driving. Supplying the power to regulate gear action is a demanding task, which is why it's important for you to contact us, your transmission service specialists. Here are some of the essential maintenance tasks we complete...
