Emissions Repair: Meeting the Standards

Place Matters

Did you know that your location dictates the emission standards your vehicle must meet? All new automobiles sold in the United States since 1996 must meet federal guidelines. However, our state has applied more stringent standards that are customized by region. Area residents and businesses must follow the guidelines for the Philadelphia zone. Whether you operate a personal vehicle, a fleet, or a commercial truck, you can rely on ASE-certified technicians at Dave’s Auto and Truck Service in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for emissions repair. We’ve been in business since 1974, building approximately a half-century of experience. Thus, we’ve worked through modern emissions standards from their inception, applying our extensive knowledge to your transportation. We’re located where you need us near your home or workplace at 100 Red Lion Rd Philadelphia, PA 19115. That’s near the border with Huntingdon Valley. Business hours are Monday – Friday 7:00am – 4:00pm, and making an appointment is simple via our website link or phone at (215) 677-4783.

Emissions Symptoms And Issues

You may wonder how you’ll know if your vehicle has an emissions problem. First, this is something we can detect during a regular service visit. Second, there are signs you may notice that prompt you to schedule an appointment with us. One of these is an illuminated check engine light or an emissions light in certain models. Another potential sign is an odor akin to rotten eggs. You may also notice a reduction in power when you need it, as well as poor fuel economy. You may also be questioning possible underlying causes of emissions trouble. We’ll take care of diagnostics and repairs for you, but we’re glad to share some potential issues. A few of them are surprisingly simple. Your vehicle may have a poorly fitting gas cap that breaks the seal of the closed system, or it may have a dirty air filter that we can change to correct the problem. Other culprits require a bit more work. Your exhaust system may have developed a leak that needs correcting, or your auto may have a failed oxygen sensor that must be replaced. Furthermore, your vehicle could have an electrical problem that triggers an exhaust warning. Although it’s a less frequent occurrence, the catalytic converter that cleans the exhaust before it exits may fail.
