(Newswire.net — December 5, 2013) Aurora, Colorado — If you are a vehicle owner, no doubt there has been a time or two when you’re driving down the road and all of a sudden a warning light flashes on your dash or you start hearing a strange sound rattling around in your car. Ken Rackley, owner and founder of Tune Tech Automotive in Aurora, Colorado believes that most often the owner of the vehicle is the best asset in determining a problem with a vehicle. “They drive their cars and trucks every day,” says Ken, “They’re the ones that know what their vehicle normally sounds like and behaves like.”
Even the most experienced drivers have a hard time discerning what the problem with their vehicle may be. “If you car is making an odd sound,” says Ken, “it can be pretty difficult do your own vehicle diagnostics if you’re the one doing the driving.” If you’re having a hard time locating the sound, it is suggested that you have someone else drive the vehicle while you sit in the back seat. “Pay attention to the speed the vehicle is going when the sound starts and if the vehicle is making any turns, that will help us locate the problem allowing you the opportunity to perform your own maintenance.”
Another common problem vehicle owners encounter is a stubborn dashboard warning light. Most often these warnings signal a simple thing to fix such as low tire pressure or if your vehicle could use a little extra oil. “Sometimes when you follow the steps in your owners manual, that light may not shut off,” says Ken. “Usually all that you might need to do is troubleshoot your vehicle, there should be a way listed in the manual, but if that doesn’t do the trick, it could be a sign for a bigger problem.” If the light fails to turn off after following the steps in the manual it is strongly encouraged that you schedule an appointment to have your car looked at.
“Here at Tune Tech Automotive,” says Ken, “we utilize state-of-the-art vehicle diagnostic equipment to figure out what the problem is.” This high tech equipment is an essential element of any quality vehicle repair shop. “If you can’t get a warning light to turn off or can’t figure out what is causing an odd sound in your vehicle, our equipment will let us know and from there we can tell you what kind of repairs may need to be made.”
