Emission Control

Emission Control in Detroit, Michigan

The Problem With Vehicle Emissions

Uncontrolled emissions constitute a whopping 20 percent of vehicle pollution. Emissions are produced in the normal operations of your vehicle. Even though most of the emissions like water, oxygen and heat are harmless, some harmful byproducts are created in the process.

A vehicle’s emission control system recycles emissions and converts them into harmless gases. When your emission control system functions properly, you help ensure a cleaner environment and optimal performance of your vehicle.

EVAP Leak Repair

The function of the EVAP (evaporative emission control system) is to prevent gas fumes in your fuel tank from getting into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work perfectly. EVAP leaks are the result of this.

You may have an EVAP leak if you smell fuel odor and see your check engine light while driving. Ask one of our knowledgeable mechanics to inspect your vehicle as EVAP problems may be challenging and complex. Our complete shop is equipped with advanced technology to perform troubleshooting techniques. These will quickly determine the location and severity of your leak so we can fix it.

If you suspect an EVAP leak, have it repaired immediately. Along with Redford Auto Repair, you can help keep the environment a cleaner place.

Carbon Canisters

A carbon canister is at the center of every EVAP. Its activated carbon stores fuel vapors. A defective canister causes problems with your vehicle’s drivability such as reduced power, lower fuel economy and more. If yours gives out, Redford Auto Repair will replace your fuel canister at an affordable price.
