Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
  This is one of the most common questions with a car nowadays. It is no longer a question of comparing a timing belt with a timing chain, but to understand the quality of the engines on both sides. Why is that? The short explanation is that the technology has advanced and modern engines work better with one drive system or the other. The issues can come from the engine design along with lack maintenance, not from the chain or the belt itself.
• Oil Change
  Your tires should be rotated every other oil change... Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear.
• Engine Tune-Up
  Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. There’s truth to the saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure†.

• Engine Replacement
  The answer depends on lots of variables, the type of engine and how the gasket fails. Generally is advised to not drive the vehicle if you believe your head gasket has failed. You could cause significant damage that could quickly turn a head gasket replacement into an engine replacement.
• Engine Diagnostic
• Spark Plug Replacement
• Emissions Inspection
• Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
  Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no obvious signs the timing belt is near its end of life; it can break, loose teeth or jump its timing any time. There is no visual timing belt inspection required. Timing belts have a scheduled replacement life specified by your vehicle manufacturer (check your vehicle owners manual). The recommended timing belt replacement interval is usually 60,000 to 105,000 miles depending on the vehicle and engine. In comparison, the replacement intervals for modern timing belt engines have been greatly extended (to 150,000 – 200,000 miles) due to further development and new materials.
