Car Exhausts

Three reasons to have Paul Clifford Motor Services inspect your car’s exhaust

Safety concerns

The exhaust system plays a crucial role in directing harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide, away from the passenger cabin and outside the vehicle. A leak or a malfunctioning exhaust system can lead to the gases seeping into the car’s interior, posing a serious health risk to you and your passengers. Symptoms of exhaust gas exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even loss of consciousness. Getting your exhaust system checked regularly at Paul Clifford Motor Services helps ensure that it’s functioning properly and not putting you and your passengers at risk.

Performance and fuel efficiency

The exhaust system is also responsible for optimizing the performance and fuel efficiency of your car. Any blockages or restrictions in the system, such as a clogged catalytic converter or a damaged muffler, can hinder the engine’s ability to expel exhaust gases effectively. This can lead to reduced engine power, decreased fuel efficiency, and overall poor performance. By getting your exhaust system checked, you can identify and address any issues that might be impacting your vehicle’s performance and economy.

The Environment and Emissions regulations

A properly functioning exhaust system is essential for meeting emissions regulations set by local authorities. If your exhaust system is faulty or emitting excessive pollutants, your vehicle may fail emissions tests required for vehicle registration or inspections. Regular exhaust system checks can help ensure that your vehicle remains compliant with environmental regulations, preventing potential fines or penalties and helping to reduce your environmental impact.

Come to Paul Clifford Motor Services in Wingham, Canterbury, if you notice any signs of a problem, such as increased noise, a strong smell of exhaust fumes, reduced engine performance, or if your car fails emissions tests.
