The Truth About Free Code Scans vs. Professional Diagnostics

Why Accomplished Auto Charges for Vehicle Diagnostics (and Why It Saves You Money) If you’ve ever seen a parts store offer a “free code scan” when your check engine light comes on, you might wonder: Why does Accomplished Auto charge for diagnostics? It’s a fair question, and the answer comes down to this: today’s cars are incredibly complex, and getting to the true cause of a problem requires the right tools, training, and time. Proper diagnostics not only protect your wallet but also ensure your car is fixed right the first time. Modern Cars Are Rolling Computers Years ago, a mechanic could pop the hood, listen for a noise, and often figure out what was wrong. But today’s vehicles are more like networks on wheels. Modern cars can have 30–50 onboard computers controlling everything from the engi ... read more

Serpentine Belt Replacement in Concord, NH: Signs of Wear & When to Replace

Serpentine Belt Replacement in Concord, NH: Signs of Wear & When to Replace

Serpentine Belt Replacement in Concord, NH – What’s a Serpentine Belt? We often get asked this question at Accomplished Auto in Concord, NH: “What is a serpentine belt, and why is it important?” Simply put, the serpentine belt is a single, continuous belt that “snakes” around multiple engine accessories, driving them all at once. Older vehicles used separate belts for each component (you might have seen cars with five or six different belts). Modern vehicles replaced those with one efficient serpentine belt – much like combining all your errands into one trip instead of multiple back-and-forth drives. This single belt saves space, reduces maintenance, and improves reliability by using one engine pulley (on the crankshaft) to turn all your accessories at once. What Does the Serpentine Belt Do? The serpentine belt powers a lot of important systems under the hood. When your engine is running, the belt is spinning and transferring power to vario ... read more

From Pollen to Road Salt: Protect Your Engine with a Clean Air Filter

From Pollen to Road Salt: Protect Your Engine with a Clean Air Filter

Keep Your Car Breathing Easy in Concord, NH: The Importance of a Clean Engine Air Filter Your vehicle’s engine needs a lot of air to run – in fact, it takes about twelve thousand gallons of air to burn a single gallon of gas. All that air has to be clean for efficient combustion, which is why the engine air filter is so crucial. If your air filter is clogged with dirt and dust, it can’t trap any more particles. The excess dust will bypass the filter and get sucked into your engine’s intake and combustion chamber. Burning dirt and pollen inside your engine does no good (and can even cause wear or damage), not to mention it chokes off the air your engine needs. A clogged air filter can hurt your car’s performance and fuel economy – replacing a dirty filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10%. In short, a clean air filter helps your engine “breathe” properly, run smoo ... read more
