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 often should I replace my timing belt?
The replacement interval for a timing belt varies by make and model, but most vehicles require a new one every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. A failed timing belt can cause catastrophic engine damage, so it's a critical piece of preventative maintenance.
What is the difference between an engine repair and an engine replacement?
An engine repair addresses specific failing components, like a head gasket or water pump. An engine replacement is typically recommended only when the engine has suffered major, irreversible internal damage, such as a cracked block, making a repair impractical.
What makes a head gasket failure a serious issue?
A failed head gasket allows coolant and oil to mix or leak. This can cause severe overheating, a loss of engine compression, and can quickly lead to catastrophic engine damage if not addressed promptly by a professional.
Can regular maintenance really help me avoid costly engine repairs?
Yes, absolutely. Routine maintenance like oil & filter changes, and regular inspections allows our technicians to catch small issues, like a minor leak or a worn belt, before they can grow into major, expensive failures.
