We encourage following your vehicle’s prescribed service intervals listed in its owner’s manual. Lack of routine engine maintenance can lead to various issues, such as misfiring, overheating, and wear. Rest assured our engine repair specialists will be able to accommodate all your engine service needs.

Signs of Engine Problems

Engines are complex machines and are vulnerable to different issues due to climate, maintenance neglect, driving habits, and simple happenstance. Thankfully, there are several symptoms you can look out for to make sure that nothing goes severely wrong, and visit us for engine repair before things get any worse. One of the most obvious is the check engine light on the dashboard. This indicates a problem has been detected in the engine, transmission, or exhaust system. We recommend pulling over safely and contacting us for further guidance if it is flashing. This signifies a serious issue. An additional tell-tale sign is a knocking sound from the engine, which means improper air/fuel mixture, worn bearings, or bad belt tensioners or pulleys. Colored or increased smoke from the exhaust, subpar performance (such as a rough idle), and increased oil consumption or fuel consumption are additional indicators of engine trouble. If you start to experience any of the above, visit our auto repair shop at your earliest convenience! Give our engine mechanics a call at 979-694-4000 to schedule an appointment for engine repair or use our online scheduling tool.

Your engine can succumb to varying problems. Many point to complications with the oil, such as oil deposits and debris from old oil on engine components like spark plugs, combustion chambers, and intake valves, hindering performance. Meanwhile, a failed oil pump starves the engine of proper lubrication. Coolant leaks, inadequate fuel and air compression via worn piston rings or broken valve seals, aged spark plugs, and a blocked engine radiator are additional issues.
