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 do I need a timing belt replacement?
Most manufacturers recommend a timing belt replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. However, this varies by vehicle make and model. It is critical to check your owner's manual or ask our technicians, as a broken belt can cause severe internal engine damage that requires expensive repairs.
Is it better to repair or replace my engine?
This depends on the extent of the damage and the value of your vehicle. If the cost of car engine repair approaches the value of the car, or if internal damage is extensive, engine replacement might be the more improved financial choice. We provide a cost-benefit analysis to help you decide.
What are the signs of a blown head gasket?
Common signs include white exhaust smoke, a milky appearance to your engine oil, and chronic overheating. You might also notice coolant leaking externally or a bubbling radiator. Head gasket replacement is a serious repair that should be addressed immediately to save the engine block.

Yes, we stand behind our car engine service with a strong warranty. We believe in the quality of our parts and workmanship. When you visit our shop, we will provide specific details about our warranty coverage for your specific repair or engine replacement Grand Prairie service.
