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 do you diagnose engine problems?
We start by listening to your concerns, then perform tests such as computer scans, visual inspections, and, when appropriate, road tests. Our ASE-certified technicians review the results and pinpoint likely causes. We share our findings in plain language and only recommend repairs that align with what the data shows.
Will you tell me if repair is better than engine replacement?
Yes, we walk you through both options when they apply. We consider mileage, overall condition, and the severity of damage, then explain likely costs and expected vehicle life for each choice. Our aim is to help you decide whether focused car engine repair or engine replacement makes more sense for you.
How long will timing belt replacement usually take?
Timing belt replacement time depends on your vehicle’s design and whether related parts are serviced at the same time. Many jobs can be completed within a day, but some may take longer. We provide an estimated timeline up front and keep you updated as work progresses.
Can I see what is wrong with my car engine?
Whenever possible, we show you what we have found, either in person or by using photos and clear explanations. Seeing worn parts or leak points can make complex issues easier to understand. We want you to feel informed and comfortable before you approve any engine work.
What warranty do you offer on engine work?
We back our engine work with an industry-leading warranty that reflects our confidence in our technicians and parts. Specific terms can vary by service, so we review coverage with you when we present your estimate. This way, you know how your car engine repair is protected.
