Our latest upgrade!
The Arago V3D is the fastest, most accurate aligner in the industry. Thanks to its DigiSmart™ technology, the Arago V3D’s cameras track all four vehicle targets automatically and at any height. Rolling compensation can be performed without lifting the vehicle, guaranteeing readings in 2 minutes - now that’s fast!
Alignments:
Why Perform Wheel Alignments?
Reduced Tire Wear:
Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tire life.
Better Gas Mileage:
Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Total alignment sets all four wheel parallel which, along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance.
Improved Handling:
Does your car pull to one side? Does the steering wheel vibrate? Do you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep your car traveling straight ahead? Many handling problems can be corrected by total alignment. With all the system components aligned properly, road shock is more efficiently absorbed for a smoother ride.
Safer Driving:
A suspension system inspection is part of our alignment procedure. This allows us to spot worn parts before they cause costly problems.
New Subarus for 2011
2011 Impreza WRX and 2011 Impreza WRX STI Debut at the New York Auto Show
At the 2010 New York International Auto Show, Subaru unveiled the restyled 2011 Impreza WRX and new Impreza WRX STI sedan.
2011 Impreza WRX
To match its aggressive soul, the body of the 2011 Impreza WRX has been boldly restyled. The new rally-inspired design of both 4- and 5-door models echo that of the flagship Impreza WRX STI, featuring flared fenders to accommodate new wider wheels and tires, revamped air intakes, redesigned fog lamps, and a more sinister-looking grille up front. In the back, a new quad-outlet exhaust complements the car’s wider stance.
Factory Scan Tool
Through the years a lot has changed about diagnostic procedures and more importantly the tools in which are used to help a Technician reach the right conclusions. Pictured below are the three different Subaru Select monitors that have been in use. The current version is part scan tool and part pc based platform that also gives us the ability to re-flash a Subaru vehicles ECM (Engine Control Module). This is an important distinction between us and some of the other shops around, we believe in staying current with the diagnostic tools and procedures to keep you Subaru running its best.
Some Subaru problems pertaining to performance and check engine lights have been addressed with a logic update much in the same way a bug in a pc is resolved with a software update. This is true of some of the other systems in the car as well. We believe this is a very important service to offer our customers and a great way to truly fix problems other shops may not be able to take care of.
The Subaru Select Monitor “the original” was capable of reading codes, and one line of data could be read at a time as well as a series of lights to indicate function of various components.
The Subaru Select Monitor II came out in time for OBD II (On Board Diagnostics two) and is a big step up from the Select monitor, being able to read multiple lines of data, tap into other systems the ability to graph sensor readings and it has a built in volt ohm meter with digital oscilloscope. The Subaru select monitor II has the ability to re-flash the ECM as well with the proper flash cartridge.
The Subaru Select Monitor III is part Pc and part scan tool or pass through device. The Scan tool has a built in flash memory card and can be used as a “flight recorder” meaning sensor readings can be recorded over the course of a test drive and later uploaded to the PC where the data can be looked at by the diagnosing technician. The new version of the Select Monitor also allows the technician to graph sensor data, look at multiple lines of data (more than ever before) Reflash the Vehicle’s Computer, program remotes and is a great needed tool to diagnose modern Subaru problems.
We believe one sign of a great repair shop is staying current to offer the best service possible.
