BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Accurate diagnosis can
help prevent car trouble

WHETHER FOR medical! attention or car
repairs, the ability to diagnose accurately is
vitally important. In the latter case, a
technician who finds and corrects a
malfunction or, through early diagnosis,
prevents one, has provided a valuable ser-
vice to his customer.

Virtually non-existent in most repair facil-
ities until recently, computerized diagnostic
services now are recognized by the
automotive service industry as standard
practice in preventive car maintenance.

Among 398 owners responding to a na-
tional survey on car maintenance, 45 per
cent had paid for a service or repair

diagnosis and 52 per cent would consider
doing so in the future.

Most technicians believe a tune-up on to-
day’s electronic, computer controlled
engines should include a diagnostic check up
followed by a ‘‘maintenance’’ tune-up as
needed.

More often than not, the latter services
will include necessary adjustments plus
replacement of those parts most vulnerable
to wear and deterioration: spark plugs,
distributor cap and rotor, wiring, PCV valve
and filters. On older cars with distributor
points and condenser, these 2iso are replac-
ed as part of a tune-up.
