[b][Alexandria, 03/28/2018][/b] - Pinecrest Shell gives its customers the best of modern technology and old-school repair and maintenance. The full-service auto repair shop in Virginia improves fuel consumption and overall running performance through routine inspections and maintenance. Meanwhile, it uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and equipment to reprogram the engines of cars with electronic control units (ECUs).

[b]Reprogramming ECUs Is Legal[/b]

Just until recently, reprogramming ECU-run engines would have been questionable due to digital rights management (DRM) claims from car manufacturers. Fortunately, in November 2015, the United States Copyright Office declared that ECUs found in vehicles were exempt from copyright restrictions.

Simply put, car owners are well within their rights to conduct electronic diagnostics or even modify their vehicles' programming. Whether they wish to repair or alter a car's programming to coax better performance from it, tinkering with vehicle ECUs is legal as long as the modifications do not violate applicable laws.

For Pinecrest Shell, this ruling is a confirmation of each vehicle owner’s right to be in control of the vehicle they bought. It also allows drivers to enjoy the perks of a customized engine.

[b]Diagnostics and Computer Reprogramming[/b]

ECU computer reprogramming may make a car consume fuel more efficiently. However, an experienced technician knows that fuel economy isn’t necessarily good for the vehicle or the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that tweaking an engine to run on less fuel, for example, makes the catalytic converter less capable of cleaning the exhaust pipe.

For Pinecrest Shell, it’s possible to find a balance between what car owners want (i.e., fuel efficiency and speed) and what’s necessary for their safety and their car's longevity.

By providing manual repairs, tune-ups, and maintenance along with computer reprogramming, the shop covers all the bases: mechanical, chemical, and electrical. As a result, drivers get to enjoy better car mileage.
