You shouldn’t have to take your vehicle to several different service shops. Everything you need should be in one place. We are that place. We are a full-service automotive service and repair shop and we are ready to meet all of your auto service needs. We are fully staffed with certified technicians who have plenty of experience maintaining and repairing foreign and domestic cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Engine Service Houston TX
You should have your engine inspected every 30,000 miles. Each component has its own lifespan and fixing any problems before they cause engine damage extends the life of your vehicle. We inspect all engine components when you bring your vehicle in every 30,000 miles for a check-up. We also replace your spark plugs and wires if they’re worn and reset the engine timing and idle.
Parts and Fluids Replacement
People generally think big when it comes to their automobile engines. They worry about the radiator or transmission as opposed to the belts and hoses. Over time, wear and tear take their toll on your vehicle’s belts and hoses and you might end up with a broken belt or leaking hose. We’ll inspect and replace the belts and hoses as they need them. We’ll check filters and fluids, too.
Fuel Injectors
Today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs have fuel injectors and they can dirty. Carbon builds up in the injectors and they need to be cleaned every 45,000 or three years, whichever comes first. Dirty fuel injectors affect engine performance and fuel economy. While we’re cleaning the injectors, we’ll also check the rest of your fuel system to make sure all is well. If the fuel filter is dirty, we’ll replace it.
Engine Maintenance Services
To avoid the need for engine repairs, we recommend you have your automobile maintained regularly. This includes
- Brake system inspections every 3,000 to 10,000 miles
- Oil changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles (depending on the oil type)
- Radiator flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles
- Transmission service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles
We will also take a look at your tires at every oil change to make sure the tread is wearing down evenly and that you have plenty of tire tread left. We’ll balance and rotate the tires every 6,000 miles.
