AutoCheck is a state-of-the-art auto engine analyzer that quickly identifies vehicles that are discharging harmful pollutants into the air. When a high polluting automobile is identified, AutoCheck schedules the vehicle for repairs at a participating garage, typically with no cost to the owner.
The Tuesday clinic will be held at the Joe Fulton International Corridor (northside location) north of the Harbor Bridge from 1 to 4 p.m. The Wednesday clinic will be from 1 to 4 p.m. at Whataburger Field (southside location). |
