Motorists Guide to Car Repair
Finding the root cause of the problem
It's true, today's models require less frequent maintenance and are more reliable on the road. Routine services of the past - such as tune-ups and air conditioning maintenance - will only be done a couple of times over the life of the vehicle.

If your 1970 model vehicle misfired, there were around 10 likely causes for the problem. For this year's model, there are 30 to 40 items to check. And that is just a diagnostic start.

This is where the value of a quality technician becomes apparent. Diagnosing this complaint requires a repair strategy that will be developed based on the technician's training and experience. They will consider all available information about the complaint, type of vehicle, service bulletins, and experience to plan the investigation accordingly.
