Thanks to Autorite’s experienced auto technicians, we’re able to provide off-vehicle reconditioning which is the most thorough and cost effective method for our customers. Ultrasonic baths make sure even the most clogged injectors are often able to be restored for less than the cost of purchasing a new injector. We’re also able to perform flow tests against the factory specifications of your injector using spray patterns – if your injector is within these specifications it’s an indication it will perform properly when put back into your vehicle!
