“Check engine” diagnostic
All vehicles have literally become computers on wheels. Armed with multiple models of leading edge diagnostic tools from the industry’s best brands, our technicians can pinpoint the exact failure detected by the sensors of any vehicle. Once the fault is identified, our skilled and well trained experts will know how to fix the problem at the lowest possible cost.
Expert advice
If a solid yellow “check engine” light appears in your dashboard, please give us a call to schedule an appointment. But if a red or blinking yellow “check engine” light appears, we suggest you turn your car off and call us immediately, and the best decision is to have it towed to avoid additional damage.
Your brakes are your security
Can you feel a vibration or do you hear noises when you brake? Is your brake pedal lower than it used to be, or does it feel soft or spongy? These are all signs that something is wrong with your brakes. We suggest you schedule an appointment with our experts, because there’s a lot more to brakes than just pads, rotors and drums. Modern braking systems include a master cylinder, a servo-assitance system, an anti-lock braking system and more. Our technicians will not only identify the root problem, but also the best course of action and the proper parts suitable for your vehicle.
Expert advice
It pays to periodically maintain your brakes. Over and above increasing your passengers’ safety, your brakes will last longer thanks to an even wear of your pads, rotors and drums, and to an optimal distribution of the brake force between all wheels of your vehicle.
The exhaust system
Almost all cars are now sold with a stainless steel exhaust system that is likely to last as long as the vehicle itself. On the other hand most if not all the connectors are made of steel which is doomed to corrode over time. At Garage Francis Dion, we cut, replace and weld these parts back onto the stainless steel components in order to avoid replacing them altogether. Our customers appreciate the difference this makes on the repair cost.
Expert advice
If your engine’s humming sound suddenly gets louder, one of the parts of your exhaust system likely needs replacement. It is always best to have it fixed as soon as possible rather than wait until it completely breaks down and you run the risk that parts of your exhaust system hits the pavement and causes additional and potentially more expensive damage.
Engine and transmission / clutch
At Garage Francis Dion, we continually invest in employee training and in new technologies in order to be able to handle the most complex repairs. Whether you own a car, a light truck or an RV, you can count on the fact that our experts will be capable of maintaining and repairing it in the best possible way, according to the manufacturer’s specifications and at the best possible price.
Expert advice
It has been proven over and over again that adhering to a proper maintenance schedule, including filter replacements and oil and cooling liquid changes, significantly prolongs the lifespan of all types of vehicles.
Did you know that a worn battery nearing its end of life will put additional strain on your alternator and therefore increase its wear?
