EAST GRANBY, Conn. · Motorists no longer need to wonder or worry when the "check engine" or other dashboard warning lights appear, when buying or selling a used vehicle, or when they have a concern about the condition of their vehicle. Now they can see Smart Auto Management.
In less than 10 minutes, for $15, Smart Auto Management or SAM scans a vehicle's on-board-diagnostics system and prints a comprehensive report that identifies any existing or potential problems with the vehicle's engine, transmission, safety systems, body, chassis, and more.
"It's a great day for drivers, now that we have SAM," said SAM spokesman Mario Andretti. "Every vehicle owner should see SAM when something on their dash board lights up, or in advance of taking a road trip. SAM gives you a printout of information before you take your car to a mechanic · that's valuable. And, if you see a used car you'd like to buy, SAM can tell you the real story about that car."
Mario Andretti will make appearances at select SAM locations in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Raleigh, N.C., the week of Feb. 12. During the scheduled appearances, motorists can receive a complimentary SAM report on their vehicles and photo-keepsakes autographed by Andretti.
