Automotive News & Information - CME Smog & Auto Repair

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

I found CME Smog & Auto Repair courteous of Google, called them, went to see them and was very impressed with the way that I was initially treated, the cost of the work that was done on my 1996 GMC 4X4, and then ultimately the results of that work. The cost was more than fair, the timing was perfect and the attitude of the guys was over and above the typical mechanics that are out to screw you. As such, I felt pretty good about taking my mothers 2005 Dodge Magnum in for some semi major work. The prices were more than fair, the timeline was perfect and again the attitude of Kerry and Shawn was priceless... So, are you looking for a shop to take care of your vehicles? I'm here to tell you that you need not look any further... CME Smog & Auto Repair is that shop... I promise you'll be very happy with the results. As a simple added benefit, their shop is immaculate and their waiting room is actually clean. - Ron M. (5 star review on Yelp)

Ever looked at the bottom of your shoes and noticed that one area of the sole is more worn than another? The way you walk causes a wear pattern to occur as you put more weight on certain areas of your feet. If your shoe needed work, you would take it to a cobbler.

When a vehicle has trouble starting, many people initially blame the starter. What is the starter, and how do you know if yours has called it quits? At CME Smog & Auto Repair in Vacaville, CA, we want to keep you informed and telling you what to look for will prevent further damage when issues arise. The starter is essentially just an electric motor; a gear at the end of that electric motor engages the flywheel, which turns the engine over, allowing it to start. How do you know if yours is failing?
