What to Expect With Engine Services
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
Frequently driving your car with little fuel can harm your engine over time because the gasoline at the bottom of your tank is usually the dirtiest. When this part is used for fuel, you run a higher risk of dirt reaching your fuel line and engine.
Why Engine Issues Are Common in Acworth
Acworth's hot, humid summers and fluctuating seasonal conditions can strain your engine. Warm weather often leads to overheating, especially if your cooling system isn't functioning properly. At the same time, oil viscosity changes in extreme temperatures can lead to engine strain and difficult starts.
Common engine problems local drivers face include:
- Coolant leaks and overheating
- Worn timing belts or serpentine belts
- Oil sludge buildup from infrequent changes
- Faulty sensors or fuel delivery issues
- Increased wear from city and highway stop-and-go traffic
By addressing these issues early with regular inspections and timely repairs, you can reduce the risk of serious damage and extend the life of your engine. We tailor our engine maintenance approach based on local climate challenges and your driving habits.
