Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the engine do in my vehicle?
The engine is the heart of your car. It converts fuel into mechanical energy, powering your vehicle and enabling it to move. A well-maintained engine ensures performance, efficiency, and reliability.
2. What are signs of engine trouble?
Warning signs include knocking sounds, reduced power, rough idling, smoke from the exhaust, oil leaks, poor fuel economy, or a check engine light. Any of these should be inspected immediately.
3. What causes a check engine light to turn on?
The light can signal many issues, from a loose gas cap or faulty oxygen sensor to more serious problems like engine misfires or catalytic converter failure. A diagnostic scan pinpoints the exact cause.
4. How often should I have my engine checked?
It’s a good idea to have your engine inspected during regular maintenance intervals, usually every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as recommended in your owner’s manual.
5. What’s involved in engine diagnostics?
Engine diagnostics involve scanning the onboard computer for trouble codes, testing sensors and components, and visually inspecting parts to determine the source of any issues.
6. Can engine problems affect fuel efficiency?
Yes. Faulty spark plugs, oxygen sensors, or fuel injectors can reduce efficiency and increase fuel consumption. Prompt repairs help restore performance and save on gas.
7. Is it better to repair or replace an engine?
It depends on the damage. Minor issues are often worth repairing, but if there’s severe internal damage or high mileage, engine replacement or rebuilding may be more cost-effective long-term.
8. What is engine knocking?
Engine knocking is a pinging or tapping sound that usually indicates abnormal combustion. It can be caused by poor fuel, worn parts, or timing issues, and should be addressed promptly to prevent damage.
9. How long does an engine last?
With proper maintenance, most modern engines can last 150,000 to 200,000+ miles. Regular oil changes, tune-ups, and timely repairs play a big role in engine longevity.
10. Do you offer full engine rebuilds or replacements?
Yes! We provide expert diagnostics, repairs, rebuilds, and full engine replacements, using high-quality parts and experienced technicians to ensure long-term performance.
