Emissions Repair

It’s no secret that our cars emit air pollution. However, our vehicle’s emissions system works to reduce the amount of harmful gases that are released in the environment. The system also keeps your engine running quietly. Computers, an ardency of sensors, computerized engine controls, fuel system components, and exhaust components all work together to control your vehicle’s emission output.

Your vehicle, whether it is a BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Ford, KIA, or Hyundai, must adhere to the government standards of emissions, so it is important to get your emissions system repaired whenever needed. Some pollutants that are generated from driving vehicles are:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO):This odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas is formed by the combustion of gasoline when the carbon in fuel doesn’t burn completely. If the air/fuel mixture does not have enough oxygen present during combustion, it will not burn completely.
• Hydrocarbons (HC):This is a compound that is emitted into the atmosphere when combustion does not properly take place.
• Nitrogen Oxides (Knox):When fuel combusts, it produces nitrogen oxides. This pollutant is more present in areas with a high population density.

If you find that your vehicle is producing excess emissions, the problem could be with several parts of your emissions system. If you are experiencing any of these signs, feel free to come to Danny’s Auto Services in Arlington today:

• Your check engine light turns on: This could mean several things, including that the emissions control sensor needs to be repaired or there is a leak in the hose or a loss of pressure in some component of your emissions system.
• Your vehicle is not performing as well: Your vehicle’s emissions system is connected to the entire fuel and exhaust system, so if something is wrong with it; it can impact your vehicle’s performance.
• You are getting fewer miles per gallon: Automobile fuel evaporates quickly, even when the vehicle is not running. Your emissions system is designed to limit the loss of these vapors and keep them in the automotive system. However, if there is something wrong with your emissions system, you may find that your car is draining more gas than usual.
• You smell fuel or gas inside or outside of your car: If you smell gas while you are driving inside your car, stop driving as soon as possible and bring your car to Danny’s Auto Services in Arlington, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Forest Hill, Kennedale. Inhaling these fumes can burn the inside of your nostrils and cause headaches and nausea.
