  Do you have a bad fuel pump? If you are experiencing a situation where your vehicle turns over but won't start, most people immediately think of battery, but that may not be the case. Elysian Auto Service wants to let you know you could be looking at a bad fuel pump. Extended cranking issues are the top symptom but not the only one. A sputtering engine, stalling, low power, and even gas gauge fluctuation can happen when the fuel pump is failing. In today’s fuel-injected vehicles, most pumps are actually located in the fuel tank for more efficient distribution, when the distribution of fuel is interrupted or cut off your vehicle will let you know. We always encourage our customers to pay attention to the signs and bring their vehicles to Elysian Auto Service. A trained ASE-certified technician will diagnose the problem and repair it correctly the first time. Make an appointment today by contacting us at 507-267-4435

Here at Elysian Auto Service, we see dozens of CV axle issues, it is something you can't ignore. We know the importance of this component, and that is why we check them during each digital inspecti
