Get Your Vehicle Diagnosed Plainfield, Naperville, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Illinois At Last Chance Auto Repair

Will scan your computer for free of any charges, breakdown the issue or issues for you and then schedule everything accordingly.

Today’s vehicles have complex inter-related systems (on-board computers) that continuously monitor & store information concerning the performance of these systems. A warning light comes on because the computer has sensed a signal from one of the many systems or components that has gone outside of its normal operating specifications.

So many different warning lights that come on for so many different reasons these days. Do you know what your light means and why it is on? Stop by will check it out in most cases for free of any charge. Get a car diagnostic test near you, near me.

When it comes to paying for diagnostics it’s usually handled at an hourly or procedural rate that is specific to the issue at hand at most local automotive repair shops near me. We typically include most basic diagnostics for free of any charges with any paid service. We also offer a 100% free vehicle diagnostic code scanΒ for 1996-present vehicles.

Top 5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

β€’ Damaged, loose, or missing gas cap. Gas caps wear out over time and need to be replaced accordingly. Does your gas cap not quite tighten (click, click, click) like it use to? Do you smell gas? Is your Check Engine Light on?Β The gas cap plays an important role in the operation of the vehicle’s EVAP (EvaporativeΒ Emission Control) system. It helps capture and reuse fuel vapors from the gas tank that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. A sealed fuel system requires a properly workingΒ gas cap.Β When the tank is open to the environment, your engine’s emissionsΒ can increase and fuel economyΒ canΒ decrease.

β€’ Faulty, inoperative, damaged oxygen sensors.Β Oxygen sensors on most modern day vehicles need to be replaced between 85,000-110,000 miles. The most common signs that pinpoint a faulty oxygen sensor include: Check Engine Light comes on, poor gas mileage & a rough idle. The PCM (computer) uses the oxygen sensors to help calculate the correct air to fuel ratio for your engine hence the importance of properly working O2 sensors.

β€’ Bad, damaged (melted), faulty catalytic converter(s). Is your vehicle misfiring, suffering from reduced performance (like it doesn’t accelerate when you step on the gas), experiencing reduced fuel economy,Β running at a higher temperature, is your Check Engine Light on? These could all be signs of a failing or failed catalytic converter(s).Β Your catalytic converter helps protect our environment by converting harmful carbon monoxide gasses into carbon dioxide gasses hence the importance of properly functioning catalytic converters.

Are you looking for a shop that offers catalytic converter replacement near me or maybe a local repair shop that knows how to properly diagnose a catalytic converter problem? Plainfield-Naperville’s Team Last Chance Auto Repair has you covered.

β€’ Dirty, unplugged, faulty mass air flow sensor.Β Are you experiencing reduced performance, poor fuel economy and or is your Check Engine Light on? This can mean your having a mass air flow sensor problem. Faulty mass air flow sensors can damage spark plugs, O2 sensors and or the nearly infamous, costly, catalytic converter(s). Your mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine to determine how much fuel is needed to run your engine efficiently hence the importance of a properly functioning mass air flow sensor.

β€’ Vehicle in need of a tune up (plugs & wires).Β Does your vehicle need a tune up? Has your vehicle been experiencing poor performance, reduced power or reduced fuel economy? Is your vehicle’s engine misfiring or Check Engine Light on? Your spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber in your vehicle’s engine. The spark plug wires (ignition cables) deliver the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. These components are supposed to be changed accordingly based off of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule aka mileage. Are you due for a tune up? Last Chance Auto Repair has you covered.

Couldn’t say anything better about these folks. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Their customer service, quick turnaround, and reasonable pricing is second to none. All I had to do was call them, tell them the issue, they towed my car that night and got it all done within 2 days. I’d recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be back if anything else comes up. Thanks again!

Not a shop I would give repeat business to. **Just updated the review because their reply to this review claimed they completed the job in 5-7 days, which is simply not true and I have evidence. Take a look at the 2 images I just uploaded. I texted the shop the morning I dropped my truck off: November 20. And there's also a copy of my receipt dated December 5 (when I picked up the truck). So, 15 days to get a 5 hour job done! "Family-owned" doesn't automatically mean good family and business values. There are plenty of families that thrive on manipulation and drama. I have zero reason to be dishonest here - they simply do not want to honor their warranty. Not for me. Stay away. Their big flaw here is communication: if they don't communicate the details, then they don't need to be held accountable. It's just plain manipulative and lacks accountability. They didn't go over the warranty details at all before they did the work, and they also said the part I brought them was a quality part. Original review: Last Chance took 2 weeks to repair a job that takes 5 hours, they reused old bushings and seals causing more leaks on my truck, and they ultimately denied warranty repair after the pinion bearing they replaced began to fail within 6 months. This job cost me $1600, so it was hard to hear them casually say no. There was no room for finding a middle ground, either. They had zero interest in finding a solution together. They said I had gone over the miles for the warranty, even though it was only 9 months after the repair by the time I brought it into Last Chance again. I had paperwork proving part failure earlier in the year - I began to hear bearing failure noise around 6 months after repair, but it took me a few months to figure out where the noise was coming from (I replaced tires, did an alignment, changed wheel bearings - did a lot of work hoping it wasn't the same issue). They literally didn't care about any of that. Last Chance had zero interest in hearing that the noise had developed within the warranty period. Bearings take a while to fail, and the noise slowly develops - they should know this as an established mechanical shop. But they expected me to act a very specific and certain way in order to follow their warranty guidelines. I'll never understand people who are not really helpful. And so the overall experience was Last Chance only cared about themselves, and I didn't really feel important as a paying customer. I ultimately found another shop who got the work done in just 2 days. It was night and day difference. The new shop was informative, honest, and understanding. They were also upfront and honest about their warranty terms and details. Last Chance experience felt patronizing and lackadaisical. Shop elsewhere and get perspective before giving your business to Last Chance. It wouldn't have taken much for them to make this a positive experience, but they seemed very uninterested in even trying.

Last Chance Auto Repair saved the day (again). The brakes were shot, needed new front brakes and calipers for my SUV. Originally brought it somewhere else a few blocks away, and ouch, no way. Then I remembered the great service and prices I got over at Last Chance Auto Repair on my last visit. I'm glad I remembered them. Long story short, they did not disappoint. I will never go anywhere else again.

We had a small emergency when the alternator quit making power as soon as the battery light came on. Luckily I was across the street at Plainfield East High School. Very conveniently they had a tow truck there dropping off another vehicle. After the 1st call, I was towed over in about 20 minutes. Tested it right away and showed me the results. Ordered the alternator and I picked up my CR-V the next morning. All in all, great experience, and fair numbers. Highly recommend this garage.

This repair shop plays no games. Very informative almost educational and prices that are more than fair can be counted on. Saved me over $2000 on a transmission repair one trip and then on another saved me $600 when getting my brakes replaced. Good all around experience. My family and I are life long customers.

I've been having starting problems for awhile now and then my starter officially took a turn for the worse. Bit the bullet and had no choice but to tow it to Last Chance Auto Repair in Plainfield. In and out with the quickness and as always an unfortunate but fair price tag included.
