Frequently asked questions

If it's a car, we'll fix it. If it's a question, we'll answer it.

Is engine repair covered under my vehicle's warranty?

Engine repairs are likely covered under your vehicle's warranty, depending on the issue and your warranty terms. Check with your warranty provider for specific coverage details.

Can I prevent major engine issues through maintenance?

Yes, regular maintenance, including oil changes, fluid checks, and tune-ups, can prevent major engine problems and extend the engine's lifespan. Engine repair can be expensive, so it is important to keep up with these maintenance tasks.

How do I know if my engine needs to be replaced or repaired?

The decision depends on the extent of the damage. Minor issues can often be repaired, but severe damage might require an engine replacement. Our skilled technicians can assess and recommend the best course of action.

How does a dirty engine air filter affect my vehicle?

A dirty engine air filter restricts airflow to the engine, leading to decreased power, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential strain on other engine components.

When should I change my spark plugs?

For peak engine performance, you should follow your manufacturer's spark plug replacement schedule unless you are experiencing drive-ability issues. Some vehicles are equipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs and do not need replacing until 100,000 miles.

What does it mean if my "check engine" or "service engine soon" light comes on?

There are many electronic components and sensors that manage your vehicle's emissions and performance. When one of these fails, the "check engine" light or "CEL" is illuminated (commonly yellow) on your dashboard. Although your car may seem to run or drive fine, it is important to have the issue addressed to prevent damage from occurring. There are times when a check engine light is a simple fix, and others where it is a much more serious problem.
