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.

Common Engine Problems in San Antonio
San Antonio’s unique climate and driving conditions can present particular challenges for vehicle engines.
Here are some common issues our technicians encounter:
- Overheating: High temperatures in San Antonio can lead to engine overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
- Air Conditioning Strain: Frequent use of AC in the heat can put stress on the engine, necessitating regular checks to maintain efficiency.
Additionally, the frequent stop-and-go traffic on San Antonio roads can cause significant wear on engine components. This type of driving can lead to increased fuel consumption and may exacerbate existing issues such as misfires or irregular idling. Regular tune-ups at Christian Brothers Automotive Stevens Ranch can help mitigate these effects by ensuring that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.

San Antonio’s Environmental Impact on Engines
The local climate can significantly affect your vehicle's engine performance. In San Antonio, we see:
- Hot Summers: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to wear on engine components and must be monitored closely.
- Occasional Freezing Conditions: Sudden temperature drops can cause stress on an engine’s internal parts.
