How often should I inspect my exhaust system?

We recommend a yearly inspection or checking if you notice unusual sounds, reduced fuel efficiency, or smoke.

Can I drive with a faulty oxygen sensor?

While you might get by for short distances, a faulty sensor reduces fuel efficiency and can lead to further damage if not fixed promptly.

What’s included in an exhaust system inspection?

Our inspections cover the exhaust pipe, manifold, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, and include emissions testing.
