Posted on thamer mohammedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and honest they solved the issue with my car transmission on the first dayPosted on Sean StewardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had a great experience working with these guys. Nathan always cakes me to update me on my truck. They send pictures to show you what's wrong inform me on time lines, etc. I've had bad experiences with shops. The bad reviews you may see are ridiculous if titty know anything about vehicles. Some people can't be happy. I driver an f250 and they've not only been cheaper than most but they get the work done in time. Careful who you trust your vehicles with.Posted on Amy CantuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in to get my brakes done and was really impressed with how timely and professional the service was. Not only did they complete the work quickly, but they also took the time to show me exactly what needed to be done not just explain it, but actually show me the parts and the issues. That kind of transparency builds trust, and I really appreciated it. Great service all around!Posted on Demeatrice CrawfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They fix my ac and gave me an oil change. My vehicle is diesel and they did excellent work. I will use them again. Plus their financing program is a plus
Whether it’s a check engine light or a failed emissions test, a problem with your vehicle's emissions system needs to be fixed right. Trust the certified experts at Crown Auto Repair & Collision to provide the professional EVAP and emissions repair service that will get your car running clean and clear.
The EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control) system is designed to capture gasoline vapors from your fuel tank and prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere. A leak in this system will trigger a check engine light.
A car can fail an emissions test for many reasons, including a lit check engine light, a faulty oxygen sensor, a bad catalytic converter, or a leak in the EVAP system.
It means your car's computer has detected a fault in the emissions system. It could be anything from a simple loose gas cap to a complex leak or a faulty sensor.
We use a specialized diagnostic tool called a smoke testing machine. It pumps a harmless smoke into the EVAP system, which allows us to visually see tiny leaks that are impossible to find otherwise.
The cost can vary widely depending on the problem. A simple gas cap replacement is inexpensive, while a new catalytic converter is much more costly. We provide a transparent quote after a full diagnosis.
The time for a repair varies. A simple fix might take less than an hour, while diagnosing a complex, intermittent issue can take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
Yes. We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor for all repairs.
We recommend you have it checked immediately. While the problem might seem minor, it could be a sign of a more serious issue that is causing damage to your engine or catalytic converter.
Absolutely. We specialize in diagnosing and repairing issues that cause a vehicle to fail its emissions inspection, helping you get back into compliance.
