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?
The timing belt is a critical component of your engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring the engine's valves open and close at the right time. If a timing belt fails, it can cause severe engine damage. Regular replacement is crucial for preventing costly repairs. Our Memphis location uses manufacturer-quality timing belts to guarantee durability and reliability.
In areas like Memphis, where temperature fluctuations can cause wear and tear more quickly, timely maintenance checks could prevent untimely replacement costs. A well-maintained timing belt ensures optimal performance and avoids breakdowns, giving you peace of mind on those longer journeys out of the city.
What Are Signs That My Car Needs Engine Repair?
Indicators for engine repair include unusual noises, loss of power, engine overheating, and a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency. Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe issues. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to visit our Memphis engine repair shop for a thorough inspection by our ASE-certified technicians.

Prompt head gasket replacement is vital to protect your engine, and our experts in Memphis are equipped to handle the task efficiently.
Given Memphis's climate, temperature changes can increase the risk of head gasket failures. Regular check-ups with local professionals who understand these impacts can mitigate significant risks and save you money and stress in the long term.
