Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fuel injectors really need repair?
You will know when diagnostics make the need clear, and we always share those results with you. Signs like rough idle or sluggish acceleration can suggest injector trouble, but may also point to other issues.
Our ASE-certified technicians rely on advanced diagnostic equipment to verify any problem. After testing, we review everything with you in simple terms, provide documentation as needed, and only move forward if repairs are truly necessary. This way, you pay only for services that fix the real issue.
What does your fuel injector repair warranty cover?
Our fuel injector repair warranty covers both parts and labor related to the service completed at Christian Brothers Automotive Plano. Should the same issue return within the warranty period, you can bring your car back and we’ll take care of it at no additional charge.
We outline coverage terms up front and explain them simply, so you know how our warranty protects your investment in your vehicle. Our warranty reflects our commitment to long-term customer satisfaction and peace of mind.
Can your team repair my car the same day?
In many situations, fuel injector repair can be done the same day, especially when we have all the parts and diagnostics are straightforward. If delays arise—such as special-order parts or complicated engine problems—we will notify you immediately and help you plan.
You can use our complimentary shuttle or wait in our comfortable lobby. We always prioritize quick turnarounds without sacrificing quality, and you will never be left wondering about your repair status.
Will you explain what’s wrong before starting repairs?
Yes, we always explain our findings before starting any work. Transparency is at the core of our process. We use clear, jargon-free language to walk you through diagnostic results, provide supporting images or digital data when available, and answer your questions so you can make informed decisions. You hold full control—nothing happens without your understanding and approval.
How does Plano driving affect fuel injector health?
Plano’s heavy traffic, hot summers, and frequent short trips all speed up injector wear over time. Prolonged idling and stop-and-go commutes, particularly on roads like Legacy Drive or near regional highways, create conditions for carbon and residue to build up faster in fuel injectors. Regular checks and prompt service can help prevent long-term problems and keep your vehicle running reliably on our busy streets.
What steps should I take if my engine is running rough?
If you notice your engine running rough or hesitating, schedule a diagnostic service as soon as you can. Record when you notice symptoms or any recent changes in travel or fuel. Let us know these details, as they help us quickly identify the cause. If you are not sure if your car is safe to drive, call us for guidance. Our team is always ready to provide the next steps and solutions.

FAQs
-
Q. "Why is my engine making bucking sounds when I drive?"The fuel system is a good place to investigate first whenever your engine starts to give you problems. The two most common issues we see are clogged fuel filters and damaged fuel pumps. Both of these will harm your engine if not taken care of promptly.
-
Q. "What are fuel filters?"Fuel injectors are easily clogged due to their small openings. They are susceptible to the dirt particles that your car drives through on the road. It’s important that the fuel remains clean and free of dirt so that it can be easily sent to the engine. The fuel filters ensure the fuel is protected from dirt. Typically, filters are made from a paper material that is thrown away and replaced when it becomes too dirty or worn out. Sometimes, cars will have filters that use a mesh material. These can be washed and then put back in the vehicle.
-
Q. "How do fuel filters affect the fuel pump?"Clogged fuel filters make it hard for the fuel pump to deliver gas to the engine. If the filter is blocked with dirt, the pump has to work a lot harder to pump the fuel. This will cause it to wear out and unable to perform over time.
