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.
