If you have a Check Engine Light on or a Service Engine Soon Light...

Expect car technicians to use a machine that will give them codes to help diagnose your car’s service problem. However, the difference between a technician using one of these machines versus a driver using a self-service kiosk is great. The technician will use the code to begin to diagnose the car’s problem-much as a physician would use blood tests or x-rays to begin diagnosis-but they do not consider the codes the ultimate diagnosis.
Our technicians at Kilgore's are qualified to help with this problem, call 407-851-3437 for an appointment...

Interesting Fact. Don’t touch the glass bulbs when replacing
Whenever you have to replace the bulb on your headlight as it is quite easy to remove from its mounting, make sure to touch only the metal bulb holder located at the base of the lighting fixture. Alternatively you can wear clean mechanic’s gloves or better yet sterile surgical gloves if you really have to touch the glass itself. The reason is quite simple: you don’t want to transfer any of those oils, grime, dust, and dirt on your fingertips onto the bulb since this manufactured with specialized coating on the bulb’s exterior surface. The introduction of particles, grease, oil, or dirt on the bulb’s surface inadvertently affects this special coating. When you turn your headlights on, this part of the bulb will heat up a lot faster than the rest of the bulb, causing it to crack.

At our shop, it seems we get frequent calls regarding tune ups. The customer is often price shopping to find who can install tune up parts to fix their drivability problem. During the customer interview process, we find frequently that they have not even scanned the vehicle for fault codes. I think a lot of people still live in the '80s era when plugs, wires, caps and rotors fixed most of the rough running concerns. With today's modern vehicles, it is challenging for a service advisor to sell a tune up because they do not know what parts it should get. Does the vehicle have ignition wires? Does the vehicle have an external fuel filter? Is the positive crankcase ventilation valve a replaceable part or is it integrated into the valve cover? As a rule of thumb, we advise the customers that we must physically inspect the vehicle to determine what a tune up should include. Call if you need us 407-851-3437
