Each vehicle's maintenance schedule varies on how often the air filter should be changed. You might be able to tell by looking at when a filter needs replacing, such as finding black areas on the section through which outside air enters. Air filters on most engines are fairly easy to access, but you can check the location in your owner's manual if you need help. If you can't find your engine air filter and/or it's been more than 3 years or 30,000 miles, you probably should get a new one. A clogged air filter can hurt acceleration by 6% to 11%. For that reason, it's a good idea to periodically visually check the engine air filter.


If your car drifts to one side, and you have to turn the steering wheel away from the center position to drive straight, that is an indication that your wheels are out of alignment. Underinflated tires can also cause a vehicle to pull to one side, so check if that could be a possibility. You might also want to inspect your tires to see if there is uneven wear, such as the tread being worn off along one edge, another sign of an alignment issue. However, it can be hard to separate normal from excessive wear, so unless you're well-trained, have a certified technician take a look.


Some vehicles require only that the front wheels be aligned, but many car-based models require four-wheel alignment. Alignment specifications differ by vehicle. Depending on the vehicle, proper alignment involves setting the camber (inward or outward tilt of the wheels when looking head-on), caster (wheel tilt front or back looking from the side), and toe-in or toe-out (looking down at the wheels from above). The adjustments are measured in fractions of an inch and require specialized alignment equipment.


Wheel alignment isn't usually listed by vehicle manufacturers on the recommended maintenance schedule, so how often it should be done is open-ended. If your vehicle tracks as straight as an arrow, your wheels likely are properly aligned. Even so, it's a good idea to have your alignment checked annually, such as when you have your tires rotated. You certainly should have it done when you buy new tires so they don't immediately start to wear unevenly.


That is a signal that the onboard diagnostics system (or OBD II) has detected a malfunction in the vehicle's emissions, ignition, or fuel systems. It could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or something as severe as a faulty catalytic converter, so you shouldn't ignore it. All cars and light trucks have onboard diagnostics that are supposed to detect engine-related problems that affect the emissions control systems. The check-engine light (typically a yellow or orange outline of an engine with the word "Check") should come on for a few seconds every time you start the engine with other warning lights. If it stays on, that means there is a problem.


If the check engine light is flashing, that usually indicates a misfire or other serious issue, and it should be dealt with quickly at an auto repair shop. Ignoring a flashing light increases the chances of additional problems, including damaging an expensive catalytic converter.

Mike is an honest and reliable technician with year of experience as a master technician at Toyota/Lexus. I trust him with all of our family vehicles. His pricing is fair as well

The shop owner named Mike takes pride in serving his customers with great satisfactory service and precise work. I recently booked an appointment with Mike to install a device; since the install, Mike has over exceeded my expectations for any mechanice shop I've ever experienced. I highly recommend TLS Electrical in Fremont.
