What are GDI (or engine purge) services? GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) services for your vehicle refer to maintenance procedures designed to clean and optimize the performance of the fuel injection system. GDI engines inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber under high pressure, which can lead to carbon buildup on intake valves, fuel injectors, and other engine components over time. Common GDI Services:Intake Valve & Combustion Chamber Cleaning – Removes carbon deposits that accumulate on the intake valves and combustion chamber, which can reduce engine efficiency and performance. Fuel Injector Cleaning – Cleans the injectors to restore proper fuel atomization, improving fuel economy and engine response. Throttle Body Cleaning – Ensures smooth airflow by removing buildup that can affect throttle response. PCV System Check & Cleaning – He ... read more

Remember tow trucks will not rescue you until the water recedes, so as I like to say, Better safe than sorry. So, If you think the water will reach your under carriage I repeat, do not drive thru. Electrical system and combustion systems do not like water and your car is basically these two systems.

Do not attempt to go thru the water. You never know what is unde ... read more
