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 Your Engine Needs Attention
Your vehicle's engine is a complex system that requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Neglecting engine issues can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, higher emissions, and more costly repairs in the long run. Keeping an eye out for warning signs early on can help avoid these complications.
Watch for the following symptoms, as they may indicate engine problems:
- Unusual Noises: Knocking, tapping, or unfamiliar sounds can signal internal engine issues.
- Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Blue or white smoke may suggest oil burning or coolant leaking into the engine.
- Decreased Performance: A noticeable drop in acceleration or power may indicate engine inefficiency.
- Check Engine Light: An illuminated check engine light typically indicates an engine-related issue that requires professional diagnosis.
Addressing these symptoms promptly can prevent more severe damage, keep your vehicle performing at its best, and help avoid costly future repairs.
