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
Is it safe to keep driving with an oil leak?
It is usually best to have an oil leak checked as soon as you can. Even small leaks can grow, reduce lubrication, and harm engine parts over time. Our team can inspect the leak, explain how serious it is, and help you decide the safest plan.
How do you decide between engine repair and replacement?
We look at the cause of the problem, the extent of damage, mileage, age, and overall vehicle condition. Then we compare likely repair costs to engine replacement options and talk through how long you plan to keep the car. Our goal is to help you choose wisely, not to pressure you.
What does timing belt replacement usually include?
Timing belt replacement typically involves installing a new belt and, when appropriate, related components such as tensioners and seals. In some cases, it also makes sense to address the water pump. We review what is included for your specific vehicle before any work begins.
How long will my car be in the shop for engine work?
Timing and engine repairs vary based on the type of work, parts availability, and your vehicle’s design. We provide an estimated timeframe after diagnosis and keep you updated. Our complimentary shuttle can make it easier to manage your day while your car is with us.
What kind of warranty do you offer on engine repairs?
We offer an industry-leading warranty on qualifying engine repairs and services. Coverage details depend on the specific work and parts used, and we explain those details before you approve the repair. Our warranty reflects the confidence we have in our technicians and the quality of our work.
