Engine Repair and Service

Driving a car today is more like flying a NASA spaceship 40 years ago than anything else. With computer software regulating every aspect of the car (engine, transmission, brakes, etc.), it has become much safer and reliable to drive in the past 10 years.

When the software encounters a mechanical problem in the engine, such as a malfunctioning spark plug, it will temporarily repair your engine by working the other spark plugs harder, and attempt to keep your car running at full potential. Even if something serious happens in the engine, today’s cars have a “limp mode” which gets you home safely, on what ever power the car can put together, so you don’t have to pull over and have your car towed off the side of the road. With over 5000 moving parts undergoing temperatures of over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, the engine undergoes stress every time a car is driven, and it is very useful to have a computer regulating every detail. Unlike 20 years ago when you could detect a problem with your car based on a strange smell or sound, today’s computers do such a great job at maintaining optimum efficiency, that it is often very difficult to determine if something is wrong with your engine until its too late. The parts that are being overworked to compensate for the malfunctioning part will run their course faster then expected, leading to and even larger repair in the end, and that is why you should take it into our shop for regular engine check up and repairs. We are outfitted with the best tools to diagnose today’s engine problems and to repair them.
