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.
Signs of Engine Trouble
Catching engine issues early can save you time, money, and the hassle of unexpected breakdowns.
Look out for the following indicators:
- Knocking, tapping, or other unusual engine noises
- Excessive smoke coming from the exhaust
- A drop in fuel efficiency
- The check engine light turning on
- Hesitation, stalling, or rough idling
These signs can indicate serious problems, and prompt diagnostics are key to preventing major damage. Our experienced team is here to provide quick, accurate assessments and honest recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Common Signs That My Radiator Needs Repair?
Common signs indicating your radiator needs attention include coolant leaks, which often appear as bright green, orange, or pink fluid under the vehicle. You might also experience engine overheating, which can occur more frequently during Greeley's hot summer months when the cooling system is under stress. Steam coming from under the hood, typically while idling or in traffic, can also signal radiator trouble.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley, we recommend periodic checks, particularly before summer to ensure your radiator functions efficiently. Our technicians are trained to spot early warning signs that could prevent a complete radiator failure, ensuring your vehicle operates safely and efficiently throughout Greeley's diverse climate.
Why Is My Car Consuming More Oil Than Usual?
Excessive oil consumption can be a sign of several issues, ranging from worn-out piston rings to deteriorating gaskets or oil leaks. If you find oil stains underneath your parked vehicle, this indicates a potential leak. Decreased oil levels can also lead to increased engine wear and tear, affecting performance.
Our team in Greeley performs comprehensive assessments to pinpoint the root cause of oil consumption issues. We emphasize timely maintenance to prevent long-term damage, reducing the risk of more expensive repairs down the line and ensuring your vehicle continues to run smoothly regardless of weather conditions.
How Can I Increase the Longevity of My Engine?
To extend your engine's lifespan, regular maintenance is key. This includes timely oil changes, air filter replacements, and adhering to the vehicle's maintenance schedule. Paying attention to dashboard warning lights and addressing issues promptly can prevent minor problems from escalating.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley, we provide detailed maintenance schedules and reminders designed to help you maximize the life of your car. Our services focus on maintaining excellent engine health tailored to the specific needs generated by Greeley's unique climate and driving conditions.
What Should I Do if My Check Engine Light Comes On?
If your check engine light illuminates, it can be due to a variety of issues, such as a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensor, or more severe engine problems. It's crucial not to ignore this warning, as it can indicate significant underlying issues requiring attention.
Our advanced diagnostic tools at Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley can quickly identify the cause, allowing us to recommend appropriate actions. We encourage drivers in Greeley to take a proactive approach by addressing check engine lights immediately, preventing minor issues from becoming major repairs and maintaining your vehicle's reliability and safety.
How Important Are Seasonal Checks for My Vehicle?
Seasonal checks are vital in regions like Greeley, where weather can drastically shift from summer's heat to winter's chill. These checks help ensure all vehicle systems, especially cooling and heating, are functioning optimally to handle the demands of varying temperatures.
Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley offers seasonal maintenance packages that check critical systems such as the radiator in summer and the heating system for winter. These checks not only enhance comfort and safety while driving under extreme conditions but also contribute to long-term vehicle health by optimizing overall performance and efficiency.
