Thanks to Robert I was able to get the problem with my car fix right over the phone. Thought it was a problem with the starter or computer but he had a simple solution that was no problem to fix. These guys are incredibly nice, fair and caring! I literally know nothing about vehicles and was told to take my truck to them by multiple people. Robert called me and explained what was needed.
I tried to explain to my friend the things that they needed to do to make. Robert takes pride in running a family business with his wife Susan. It matters to me that I can take my vehicle in for a reasonably priced oil change, but I get much more. They will inspect my vehicle to see if there are any maintenance issues, as well as. The employees from Doctor of Motors were so helpful and friendly, I would definitely take my car there again.
Being a new car owner, I was very nervous and worried about where to take my car. I called a few places and read their reviews, but Doctor of Motors stuck. The Doctor of Motors has incredle service, starting from the efficiency of your vehicle repair to how they treat you as a person.

We're here today with Robert Lugo of Doctor of Motors, talking about auto maintenance and what you need to know about maintaining your car.
Robert, let's talk about the check engine light today.
Why does the light come on in your vehicle?
When that comes on, what does it mean?
Robert: Well, pretty much the computer, or the vehicle, has only one way of telling you that something is wrong.
And the computer has anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 different codes, which are different areas of the vehicle that are having a problem.

Host: So the pads are on either side of the rotor, and they're putting pressure on the rotor, and that's what slows down the vehicle.
It's a very efficient way of working.
It works very well.
But when you are driving a 5000-pound vehicle and you go to slow down, that creates a lot of heat.
And that heat can cause that metal rotor to literally change its shape.
Robert: Just a hair and that's called "warping" it.
And then you'll have pulsations.
You'll go to step on your brake and you'll feel a pulsation on the brake pedal or a shaking in the steering wheel.

To help minimize air pollution, California has set emissions limits which your vehicle cannot exceed.
If you own a vehicle that is six years old, or older, a smog check (also called a smog test or emissions test) will be required once every two years, and also upon title transfer to another owner, or during initial California registration (if the car comes from another state).
An emissions test is done on the exhaust system of your car to determine how many pollutants, and of which type, the vehicle is emitting.
