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.
Signs of Engine Trouble
Catching engine issues early can help you avoid major repairs and keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Watch for these common signs:
- Knocking, tapping, or other unusual engine noises
- Excessive exhaust smoke
- Sudden drop in fuel efficiency
- Check engine light on the dashboard
You might also notice stalling or hesitation when accelerating—both are signs your engine may need immediate attention. At Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven, our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose the problem and confidently get you back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Tell If My Head Gasket Is Blown?
Look for white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss with no visible leak, or a milky film under your oil cap. These can indicate a head gasket failure. Overheating and poor engine performance are also common signs. Visit our Southaven shop for a thorough inspection.
Does Southaven's Climate Affect My Engine?
Yes—Southaven’s heat can strain your engine, especially the cooling system. High temperatures accelerate wear on parts and increase the risk of overheating. Regular maintenance and cooling system checks help prevent climate-related damage.
Can Regular Maintenance Prevent Costly Repairs?
Definitely. Staying on top of oil changes, fluid checks, and engine inspections helps prevent minor issues from escalating. At Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven, we tailor maintenance schedules to your driving habits for long-term savings and reliability.
What Should I Do If My Engine Overheats?
Pull over safely and shut off the engine immediately. Wait until it cools before checking fluid levels—never open the radiator cap when hot. Then contact Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven for diagnosis and repair to avoid further damage.
