Ask Canadian Tire Auto Services to perform crucial diagnostics on your vehicle, including emissions and battery tests
ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS
Why?
Engine diagnostics can identify emissions or sensor problems, and in some case, prevent catalytic converter damage.
When?
If the Check Engine Light comes on, it is a warning of an emissions or sensor problem and should be analyzed. If the light flashes, the condition is more severe and must be checked immediately.

KEY FEATURES
ENGINE TUNE-UP
Why?
An Engine Analysis will determine exactly what is needed to get your vehicle running at its best.
When?
To determine the best time to get an engine tune-up, please refer to your owner's manual or consult one of our Auto Service representatives.
What's included?
BATTERY HEALTH TEST
Why?
Batteries have a limited life and eventually need to be replaced. When a battery fails, the vehicle will not start, and could leave you stranded, requiring a tow or battery boost.
When?
What's included?
DID YOU KNOW?
When you start your vehicle, the charging system is activated and the alternator restores energy to the battery that was used to 'crank' the engine.
STARTING AND CHARGING PERFORMANCE TEST
Why?
A weak component can cause premature wear in other system components or cause the entire system to fail. For example, a weak battery left unchecked can overwork the alternator, ultimately causing it to fail.
When?
Get this test if the dashboard battery warning light is illuminated; when the battery, starter or alternator is replaced; if the vehicle has trouble or fails to crank over at start-up; or there is a noticeable slow cranking or noise on startup.
What's included?
AIR CONDITIONING HEALTH CHECK
Why?
Inadequate cooling can be caused by refrigerant leaks, high temperatures, high pressure, or by system restrictions caused by dirt, corrosion, moisture and air.
What's included?
DID YOU KNOW?
The most common cause of poor air conditioning performance is a low refrigerant level. Because refrigerant is a gas, it escapes easily through worn valve seals and o-rings, as well as through deteriorated hoses and damaged components.
BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
Why?
To determine which components of the ABS aren’t working properly.
When to have this done
Get your brake systems checked whenever the ABS light is illuminated.
