You might read this page because your “check engine light” is on. This means that your car’s emissions system has a problem that needs to be fixed. We know that this can be frustrating and seems to happen at the worst possible time.
We can help get your car back to normal. We are trained to diagnose and repair emission or drivability related concerns on both gas or diesel engines as well as turbo or naturally aspirated engines.
Many things can trigger the “check engine light” including:
A faulty oxygen sensors
A blown head gasket
A worn-out spark plugs
A loose or faulty gas cap
and many more
That’s why a proper diagnosis needs to be done the first time around. This can be achieved with specialized scanning equipment because cars now have lots of electronics and computer processors components.
Our Check Engine Light Service Includes:
retrieve data with specialized scanning equipment
do a verification testing
pinpoint testing
identify and repair the issue
verify repair by retesting the car
Professional, Honest, and High-Fidelity Service
I recently brought my 2002 Dodge Sport Caravan to Peter’s for an extensive engine and brake overhaul. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was a “no-bullshit” operation. Peter was exceptionally polite and transparent. After the work was completed, he personally walked me to the vehicle and showed me exactly what had been done—I could see the new gaskets, spark plug wires, and the new muffler. The engine is running as smoothly as it did years ago. As someone who values precision and clear communication, I was very impressed with the professional standards of the entire team. They handled the tire swap and brake service seamlessly. It’s a huge relief to find a local shop in Kitchener that delivers high-quality work at a fair price. I’ll be back for any future maintenance on my vehicles. Highly recommended. — Brian.
