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.
How Christian Brothers Automotive Castle Hills Can Help
Your engine is a complex machine, and other components will break down over time. At Christian Brothers Automotive, our experienced technicians are skilled at solving any engine problems you may face.
Our services encompass:
- Ignition system
- Ignition wires
- Crank case
- Fuel pump
- Water pump
- Sensors (such as an o2 sensor)
Pro Tip: The most common sign of an engine in need of service is an oil leak. If you notice oil leaking underneath your car, it’s best to bring it in for service immediately.
Typically oil leaks are the result of neglected maintenance, as seals become hardened and dry and can no longer protect against fluid loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs that I need engine repair?
Common signs include a persistent check engine light, unusual noises from the engine, and decreased performance. Our Carrollton technicians can diagnose these issues accurately and provide solutions.
Regular maintenance checks can preemptively catch potential engine issues. We champion a preventative approach—our team performs detailed inspections that can identify signs of wear or stress before they develop into costly repairs, saving you time and hassle in the long term.
What’s included in your engine service?
Our comprehensive engine service includes diagnostics, maintenance, and if needed, full repairs and replacements. We focus on identifying issues before they become major problems.
Additional to typical service checks, we perform a thorough review of your vehicle’s engine performance, including emissions and fuel efficiency. This comprehensive approach not only solves immediate issues but also works towards improving overall vehicle performance, offering you peace of mind and reliability.
Does a check engine light always mean my engine is bad?
Nope! A check engine light can indicate a more serious issue; however, it can also turn on for a mundane reason, such as a bad o2 sensor or spark plug.
Did you know a loose gas cap can also trigger your check engine light? It wouldn't hurt to check your gas cap first. If that's not it, bring your car in so we can take a look.
