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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my engine needs professional repair?
Look for symptoms such as knocking noises, engine stalling, visible smoke, a persistent check engine light, or declining performance. When these signs appear, consult a local engine repair provider to avoid more costly repairs later.
How long does an engine repair usually take?
The duration depends on the complexity of the problem, the necessary parts, and your vehicle type. Minor fixes may take a few hours, while more extensive repairs could last several days to ensure quality and safety.
Will I get an estimate before any repair starts?
Yes, most reputable shops provide a thorough estimate up front, including an explanation of necessary services. This keeps you informed about both timing and potential costs, so there are no surprises.
What kind of parts are used for repairs?
Engine repair shops may use a blend of new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), or high-quality aftermarket parts, based on your vehicle and request. This affects both repair costs and long-term performance.
Is regular engine maintenance required, even after a repair?
Routine maintenance remains vital to reducing wear and maximizing your engine’s lifespan. Scheduled oil changes, tune-ups, and system checks are essential for keeping your car running strong.
