We may think that if the lights come on and the car starts there are no issues, but at CME Smog & Auto Repair in Vacaville we know what to look for and when to ask questions.  When your vehicle is pulling to one side there are several possibilities.

Transmission failure rarely happens out of the blue - there’s a good chance a transmission will give you a good amount of warning before kicking the bucket. Here are some things you can watch out for, from our team here at CME Smog & Auto Repair in Vacaville, CA.

We know how important a good exhaust setup is on a diesel truck. Whether you’re powered by a Cummins, a Duramax, a Powerstroke, or something else, your exhaust plays a major role in performance, engine sound, and even aesthetics. At CME Smog & Auto Repair in Vacaville, CA, our professional mechanics have the equipment, knowledge, and ability necessary to get your exhaust in shape.

Sluggish. Squealing. Unreliable. Vibrating. If any of these descriptors fit your vehicle’s recent behavior, it just might be trying to tell you something – like it’s time for a tune-up.

Today’s vehicles differ significantly from their decades-old brethren that required a tune-up every 10,000 or 20,000 miles. With newer vehicles, it’s increasingly common for manufacturer-recommended service intervals to stretch to 100,000 miles before certain maintenance items, such as replacing the spark plugs, should be completed.
