Engine Tuning

This subject can be quite a confusing one for the motorist. For some, it has connotations of the 'boy racer' in his souped-up Mini. For the majority of us, a tune-up is what we request when the car simply isn't running right.

Here is a checklist showing the steps we take to tune your car:

Engine and Electronic Diagnosis

Have you noticed how the components under the bonnet of your car have become more and more difficult to understand recently?
