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 Can I Tell If My Head Gasket Is Blown?
Symptoms include white exhaust smoke (from coolant burning), a milky substance on the oil cap (coolant in oil), unexplained coolant loss, and engine overheating. Let our expert technicians inspect your vehicle to confirm any concerns.
How Does South Scottsdale's Climate Affect My Engine?
Arizona's intense heat increases engine stress and wear. Over time, this can damage components like hoses, belts, and the cooling system. Staying on top of coolant checks and heat-related maintenance is critical to engine longevity.
Can Regular Maintenance Prevent Major Engine Repairs?
Yes—routine services like oil changes, fluid top-offs, and component inspections help catch minor issues before they become major repairs. At Christian Brothers Automotive South Scottsdale, we build maintenance plans tailored to your vehicle and driving habits.
What Should I Do If My Engine Overheats?
Pull over safely, turn off your vehicle, and let the engine cool before checking coolant levels. Never open the radiator cap while the engine is hot. Contact us immediately so we can help diagnose and fix the issue before it causes permanent damage.
