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
What Is a Timing Belt, and Why Is It Important?
A timing belt is a crucial part of your engine, keeping the crankshaft and camshaft in sync. This synchronization is vital for the engine's valves to open and close at the correct times during the intake and exhaust strokes. A worn or broken timing belt can lead to severe engine damage.
Failure to maintain your timing belt can result in catastrophic engine failure, often leading to substantial expenses. Regularly scheduled inspections and timely replacements are essential preventive measures to protect your investment and ensure longevity. Our team in Grand Prairie can advise on the best course of action based on your specific model and usage patterns.
How Often Should I Replace My Timing Belt?
The replacement interval for timing belts varies by vehicle type, typically ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Your owner's manual provides specific guidelines. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive will inspect your timing belt and offer recommendations tailored to your vehicle's conditions.
Beyond mileage, replacement timing can also depend on age and visual inspection of the belt. The hot Texas summers in Grand Prairie can accelerate wear, so it’s advisable to have your timing belt checked during routine maintenance appointments for signs of wear or deterioration.
What Are the Symptoms That Indicate I Need Engine Repair?
Common signs of engine trouble include unusual noises, decreased power, increased fuel consumption, and visible smoke. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to have your vehicle checked promptly to prevent further damage. Our Grand Prairie location can diagnose and address any issues quickly.
In addition to immediate symptoms, prolonged issues such as loss of power, rough idle, or persistent warning lights can suggest deeper engine concerns.
