(3) A Now and Improved Service To Insure Peak Road Performance HOW WI DO IT The rear wheels of your car rest on the traction rolls, which act as a treadmill. As your engine transmits horse power to the rolls, it is at orbed and measured. The road load set up on the rolls by the operator is changed at will to duplicate every possible road driving condition, and your car's reaction to these road driving demands determines the adjustments necessary to insure peak performance. 8 Be sure your car engine is producing the horse power it was designed and built to give you. We have invested thousands of dollars in a Clayton Dynamometer to find the hidden horsepower in your car. This ultra modern equipment enables us to quickly and accurate ly diagnose the exact trouble. When service is completed, our dynamometer makes possible fine tuning and adjustments under actual road driving conditions without leaving the shop. Drive in and let us dyno-test your car.
