Expert GEO Maintenance & Service in Joliet, IL from AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

Does my GEO Metro's fuel-efficient engine need any special care?

Yes. The Metro, and the XFi trim in particular, was tuned for maximum fuel economy rather than power, so it runs leaner and can be more sensitive to old fuel, worn spark plugs, or a dirty air filter than a typical engine of its era. Keeping those in good shape is what protects the efficiency you bought it for. The trustworthy technicians at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair in Joliet know exactly what to check if your GEO's fuel economy or performance has slipped.

Is it true that parts for my GEO might overlap with other brands?

In many cases, yes. GEO vehicles were built through partnerships with other manufacturers: the Prizm shared its platform with the Toyota Corolla, the Metro and Tracker were built alongside Suzuki, and the Storm was developed with Isuzu. That means some mechanical parts, and sometimes even body panels, can be sourced through those networks when a GEO-specific part is hard to find. The expert technicians at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair know which parts cross over and which do not.

How do I know if my GEO's clutch is wearing out?

A clutch that engages higher up than it used to, a spongy or soft pedal, or slipping under acceleration (the engine revs without a matching increase in speed) are the clearest signs. Since most GEOs came with a manual transmission, clutch wear is one of the more common age-related issues owners run into. The team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair can check clutch engagement and let you know how much life it has left before it fails unexpectedly.

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.
