Fuel System Cleaning

Fuel injector cleaning is important when it comes to maximizing your car’s performance. Dirty fuel injectors can result in poor acceleration, lower power, poor fuel economy, rough idling and an incorrect air/fuel mix. They can also lead to higher carbon monoxide emissions—which is bad news if you have an emissions test on the horizon.

Your Car-X Man recommends you schedule a fuel injector cleaning every 25,000 miles. Cars used to make a lot of short trips or that have high mileage are particularly susceptible to clogged fuel injectors.

Understanding fuel injectors…

It doesn’t take much to clog your fuel injectors. Their openings are roughly half the size of a pinhole. And it only takes an 8-10% blockage to cause a misfire in your engine. That’s why it’s so important to have your fuel injectors checked by your Car-X Man.Regular fuel injector cleaning will improve your vehicle’s acceleration. You’ll save money on gas and cut down on harmful emissions. It can even extend the life of your engine.

At Car-X, we have the equipment, skills and know-how to keep your fuel injectors flowing and your vehicle running at its best.

Is It Time For New Tires?

Car-X recommends getting new tires every 30,000 or 40,000 miles. If your tire tread is at 4/32 of an inch, it is a good time to consider getting new tires. Anything less and the tire is considered “bald,” and legally worn out in most states.
