Services we offer that can help fuel efficiency
Fuel injection service
Because blocked fuel injectors can cause a wide variety of issues, having them flushed can significantly improve the gas mileage of your vehicle. If the fuel injectors in your vehicle are clogged, then the wrong mixture of fuel and oxygen will be injected into your cylinders, which can impact how your vehicle drives and waste fuel. Residence in and around Thousand Oaks California choose Accurate Auto for fuel injection service.
Tune-ups
Your spark plugs are only one of the many components that the mechanic will inspect while performing a tune-up on your vehicle. It is possible for faulty spark plugs to be the cause of a reduction in fuel economy of up to thirty per cent. To check that everything is operating as it should, it is recommended that you schedule an appointment with our auto specialist for a tune-up at least twice a year.
Rotate tires & balance tires & check pressure
Do tires have a big impact on fuel efficiency? The answer, in a word, is yes. The amount of miles that may be driven on a single tank of gas is significantly impacted by the condition of the tires. In fact, 20% to 30% of a vehicle’s total fuel use and 24% of the CO2 emissions made by road vehicles are caused by problems with the tires. If your tires are over or underinflated, they can cause you to use more fuel. Bulges in the tire are also problematic, as they raise the level of the car’s resistance to the road, which will force the fuel to exert a greater effort in order to drive the vehicle. At Accurate Auto, we can look at your tires, and make sure they are optimized for fuel efficiency and, most importantly, are safe.
Check exhaust system
Your exhaust system has a significant impact on your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, regardless of whether the problem is the oxygen sensor, the catalytic converter, an exhaust pipe leak, the muffler, or something else entirely. If you are driving your vehicle and see that you are not receiving the gas mileage that you were anticipating, it is in your best interest to have an experienced mechanic from Accurate Automotive Thousand Oaks inspect your exhaust system.
