Worried Your Classic Car Isn't Getting The Horse Power You Paid For? What To Know

Posted on

If you are a collector of sports cars and you put a lot of money into making your muscle cars fast, there are some things you want to do to make sure that you get what you pay for when you drop your car off at the shop. There are a lot of concerns that you can have when you drop something as valuable as your latest muscle car off at the engine shop.

If they are improving your engine and speed capabilities you want to know how much, and if you aren't mechanical it can be difficult to verify the work. Here are a few things you'll want to consider.

Take Pictures

Pop the hood of the car and take pictures of the interior components before you drop the car off, to ensure that everything is under the hood as it should be when you get the car back. This also allows you to compare the changes and to see what they did, to make sure that you got the new parts and the work that you paid for when you get your car home.

Use a Dynamometer

A dynamometer will measure the power that your engine puts out when you are reaching top speed. Use this on the vehicle before you take it in, and after to see if you are gaining the horsepower that you desire. You can also use this on all of your vehicles to see which are the fastest and the most powerful.

Verify Legality

Make sure that all the change the mechanics are making the to the vehicle to improve the power and strength are legal, and that all of the parts are legal, so you don't get in trouble. You don't want to get pulled over to find out that you are driving a car that isn't street legal, or that they used parts that were stolen. Know how powerful the car can be before you make changes.

If your muscle cars are important to you and you put a lot of time and money into making them fast and powerful, make sure that you are getting 100 percent of what you pay for. These are just a few of the things that you should do every time you take your vehicle in to have it worked on, and if you feel like you have been scammed take the vehicle to another mechanic and bring your pictures.
