Archive for July 2020Automotive Tips from AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair: Wiper Blades ? Signs of WearPosted July 26, 2020 7:49 AM90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that impedes your vision can affect your driving safety – including a dirty windshield. In that sense, your wiper blades are an important safety system. Most Tucson drivers will wait until their wipers have failed before they replace them. Then they find themselves in a driving situation around AZ when they really need forward visibility only to discover that their wipers are worn or maybe even torn and can’t clear snow or rain from the windshield. As an important safety system, wiper blades should be replaced BEFORE they fail. Test your wipers at least once a month. If they are not doing the job, your friendly and professional AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair service advisor can replace them for you. AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair Automotive Tips: Diagnostic ServicePosted July 19, 2020 7:05 AMImagine waking up one morning with a stomach ache. You pick up the phone, call the doctor’s office and say, “I’ve got a really bad tummy ache. How much will it cost to make me feel better?” Of course you wouldn’t do that. You know that there could be a lot of reasons for your symptoms and that the doctor will have to examine you, ask some questions and probably run some tests before she can tell you what’s wrong and give you treatment options. This same scenario plays out every day at AZ auto repair facilities. When the cause of the concern isn’t obvious, the car will need to undergo a diagnostic examination. The typical car has about 30,000 parts, including several networked computers and miles of wiring. Finding exactly what is wrong can be very complicated and take some time. The most experienced technicians at AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair in Tucson are the ones who tackle the difficult diagnostic jobs. Once they have determined the cause of the trouble, they can work out the plan for how to fix it and tell you how much it will cost. On Board Diagnostics for Tucson MotoristsPosted July 12, 2020 4:48 AMSome Tucson vehicle owners wonder why AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair and other Tucson auto repair shops charge a fee for vehicle diagnostics. Receiving a diagnostic charge at AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair for a tricky automotive problem shouldn't be a surprise. In the Tucson area, automotive diagnostics can cover quite a range. If you hear a noise in your vehicle brakes when you slow down in rush-hour traffic on a busy AZ road, you pull off at the next off-ramp and take a quick visual check. That is usually enough to know what needs to be done. If you're having an intermittent problem with your vehicle engine, however, a AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair diagnosis may be much more involved. There's a common misconception among AZ drivers that the trouble code tells the AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair technician exactly what's wrong. They wonder why there is a diagnostic charge because the scanner quickly gave the diagnosis. In reality, it is not that easy and straightforward. The computer monitors many sensors throughout the vehicle. When one of these sensors has a reading that's out of parameters, the computer will record a trouble code and turn on the Check Engine light. Some diagnoses are quick and easy. Others are more involved, time-consuming and difficult. Of course AASTRO Transmission & Auto Repair wants to figure out what's wrong with your vehicle and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
