Expert Aftermarket Additions in Joliet, IL from AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

Will performance upgrades affect my fuel economy or reliability?

They can, and it depends entirely on the upgrade and how it's installed. Some parts, like a quality intake, can be mild and even efficiency-neutral, while aggressive power modifications may increase wear or affect fuel economy if the rest of the vehicle isn't set up to match. Bring your goals to AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair in Joliet and we'll recommend upgrades that deliver the performance you want without compromising how your vehicle lives day to day.

How do I know if an aftermarket part is good quality?

Look for established brands, a solid warranty, and parts specifically designed to fit your make and model, since fitment and build quality matter far more than price alone. Cheap, poorly-made parts can fail early or cause problems that cost more than they saved. Our trustworthy team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair can point you toward proven parts and steer you away from ones that tend to disappoint.

How long does an aftermarket installation take?

It depends heavily on the part, a simple accessory might take under an hour, while a lift kit, exhaust, or performance build can take a full day or more. Proper installation isn't something to rush, since doing it right the first time protects your vehicle and your investment. Our expert team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair will give you a realistic timeframe for your specific project.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016

Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment. When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015

The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
