Windsor Auto Repair

It's done. My 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon, the car that just went over 100,000 miles, has now been registered in 5 different states. It wasn't the easiest thing to get Colorado registration.

Since the engine was replaced by my father in the summer of 2006, the "Check Engine" lite has stayed on. That automatically disqualifies me from emissions testing, the car won't pass. Additionally the car started smoking during the emissions testing, oil smoke coming from under the hood. That also made passing impossible.

I bitch a lot on this blog, I could turn this into a post about the bureaucracy of Colorado State Government, but I'm going to do something different today. I'm going to talk about Windsor Auto Repair. If you ever have car trouble in Northern Colorado, take your car to Windsor Auto Repair. I'm not kidding. I had to have my car looked at to be able to pass emissions. The guys at Windsor Auto Repair were fast and thorough. They found the problem with the smoking (leaking valve cover gasket), ordered the parts and fixed it the next time I was in Windsor. They cleared the codes on my Check Engine light, did some minor adjustments (that dramatically improved my gas mileage), explained to me why the Check Engine light came back on and told me how to handle that with emissions.

The bottom line is that my car passed emissions. As a bonus, I understand my car a little bit better now. Plus it gets better gas mileage. And it's all thanks to Windsor Auto Repair. Conveniently located near la güera's house.
