Emission Repair Service Needed by European, Domestic, or Import Vehicle
- Catalytic Converter Replacement: The catalytic converter is responsible for converting the toxic gases produced during the combustion process into less toxic ones. Over the years, the catalytic converter might get clogged due to the buildup of soot or residue. Moreover, physical damage and contamination from oil and coolant leaks can also take a toll on the functioning of the catalytic converter. Get in touch with us at any of our garages located in Lewisville or Argyle to get your catalytic converter inspected & replaced if necessary.
- Oxygen (O2) Sensor Replacement: The oxygen sensor in your vehicle is responsible for measuring the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gases. In fact, the data collected by the O2 sensor is used to adjust the air-fuel mixture of your vehicle. However, issues with the functioning of the O2 sensor due to carbon buildup or contamination lead to various issues from increase in fuel consumption to engine misfires. This is when you must visit any of our repair facilities located in McKinney or Cross Roads to get your O2 sensor replaced.
- Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) System Repairs: The evaporative emission control system in your vehicle prevents the fuel vapors from escaping the fuel system into the atmosphere. There are various components in the EVAP system like the charcoal canister, purge valve, vent valve, and fuel tank pressure sensor. Moreover, several underlying issues can lead to the failure of the EVAP system in your vehicle and it is imperative for you to get your EVAP system fixed by a certified mechanic as quickly as possible.
- EGR Valve Cleaning or Replacement: The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is responsible for reducing the emission of Nitrogen Oxide from your car by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gases back into the intake manifold & lowering the combustion temperature. In fact, malfunctioning of the EGR valve should be the last thing you would like to encounter as it drastically reduces the performance of the car. If you come across anything unusual in the form of engine knocking or pinging, then get your EBR valve cleaned or replaced by a qualified mechanic.
FAQs
How do I prevent carbon buildup in my emission system?
The carbon buildup can be easily avoided by sticking to regular maintenance, using high-quality fuel, and periodic fuel system cleaning.
Why does my car smell like fuel or exhaust?
If you experience a fuel or exhaust smell inside the cabin of your vehicle, then this could indicate an exhaust leak, EVAP system issues, or unburned fuel in the exhaust system.
Can an oxygen sensor affect my car’s performance?
Mostly, a malfunctioning oxygen sensor can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and higher fuel consumption in your vehicle.
Can a loose gas cap affect my emission system?
Yes, a loose or damaged gas cap can trigger the check engine light and lead to EVAP system faults.
