Engine Maintenance
AVOID COSTLY REPAIRS WITH PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
One of the most costly repairs in the automotive industry is engine replacement. Fortunately, with proper routine maintenance, you can usually avoid this expensive problem and maintain a functioning engine. At Central Texas Auto Care, our experienced technicians take the health of your engine very seriously, in an attempt to thwart future engine malfunctions and the need for replacement.
The Common Problem
Your engine is truly a feat of manufacturing and is made of hundreds of high-temperature moving parts and electrical systems alongside complex mechanical components. It’s easy to pay no mind to your engine, but it is what allows you to get from point A to point B reliably–which is precisely why you shouldn’t ignore the upkeep and maintenance of your engine.
Pro Tip: The most common sign of an engine in need of service is an oil leak. If you notice oil leaking underneath your car, it’s best to bring it in for service immediately. Typically oil leaks are the result of neglected maintenance, as seals become hardened and dry and can no longer protect against fluid loss.
Timing Belts / Chains
When it comes to engine service, the most common long-term maintenance we perform is replacing the timing components. In simple terms, your timing system ensures that your engine’s valves open and close at the right time. Over time, these components wear down or begin to fail.
Regular Engine Maintenance
Engine maintenance typically includes the following to help prolong the life of your engine:
- SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
- SPARK PLUG WIRE INSPECTION
- A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF ALL ENGINE COMPONENTS
- AIR AND FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT WHERE NECESSARY
Your engine is a complex machine, and other components will break down over time. At Central Texas Auto Care, our experienced technicians are skilled at solving any engine problems you may face. Our services encompass:
- IGNITION SYSTEM
- IGNITION WIRES
- CRANK CASE
- FUEL PUMP
- WATER PUMP
- SENSORS (SUCH AS AN O2 SENSOR)
