Potential Work
The team at Essential Auto Care takes on even difficult diagnostics. We’ll be sure to accurately diagnose the issue before performing any work. In the meantime, we’ll gladly relay information about some of the more common engine repairs. Your car’s battery is necessary for start-up energy and powering accessories. Batteries tend to weaken over time, so yours will eventually need replacing. A good battery typically lasts about three years. If you’re experiencing difficult starts or need a jump start even when nothing was left turned on, it may be time for a new one. Another concern for engine health is overheating. If you continue operating your automobile when it’s too hot, you’ll incur significant damage that’s expensive to repair or experience catastrophic engine failure. A less frightening repair is the routine tune-up. While we have your car for this planned period of work, we’ll clean or replace the spark plugs. We’ll also examine wearable items, including wiring, hoses, and more. Perhaps the most effective engine repair, however, is preventing it altogether. In addition to the full list of recommended maintenance, oil changes are crucial to your auto’s health. Motor oil lubricates moving parts, absorbs heat, and suspends dirt that can damage internal surfaces. Oil breaks down as it ages, leaving the engine unprotected. Let our professional mechanics regularly change your car’s oil so that you head off premature engine wear.
