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
What Does a Timing Belt Do & When Should it Be Replaced?
The timing belt is crucial for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring your engine's valves open and close at the right moments. This synchronization prevents the pistons from striking the valves, avoiding severe engine damage. Typically, timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but this can vary based on the vehicle's make and model.
It's essential to refer to your car's manual or consult with our team to understand your specific requirements and prevent sudden engine failure. If you're experiencing issues like ticking noises from the engine, or if the belt is visibly worn, it's time to visit us for a professional assessment and service.
Why Is Replacing a Head Gasket Important?
The head gasket forms a seal between the engine block and cylinder head, which is vital in maintaining engine efficiency. It prevents oil, coolant, and combustion gases from mixing, which can lead to overheating and severe engine damage. A blown head gasket can manifest as white smoke from the exhaust, milky oil, or an overheating engine.
Timely replacement is crucial to maintain optimal engine performance and avoid costly repairs. At Christian Brothers Automotive Vista Ridge, our skilled technicians ensure precise gasket replacements, preserving your engine's health and performance.
How Do I Know When My Engine Needs Repair or Replacement?
Several indicators suggest your engine needs attention. Unusual noises, loss of power, excessive smoke, or warning lights can all be signs that your engine requires diagnostics and potential repair. In some cases, if the damage is too extensive, an engine replacement could be more cost-effective.
Our experts at Christian Brothers Automotive Vista Ridge provide thorough assessments, offering sound advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option for your vehicle's longevity and performance.
