Are you in Need of an Engine Repair or Engine Rebuild Service for Your Vehicle?

Gary’s Quality Automotive engine service specialists can return your engine to its original-performance condition. In fact, we have the knowledge for all engine repairs, engine rebuilds, to head gaskets and valve jobs. Our ASE Certified technicians are even trained for complete engine replacements.

Watch the Top Signs that Needs Engine Service For your Vehicle!

The first sign of potential engine repairs needed is always the 'check engine' light on your dashboard. If you see that light flicker on, it's best to get a diagnostic analysis from Gary’s Quality auto shop as soon as possible. Even if you are not experiencing any of the obvious engine symptoms, bringing your vehicle to Gary’s Quality Automotive could save you a more expensive engine service later, or perhaps even a complete engine rebuild. Here are the top signs you may have engine problems:

  • Engine is idling rough
  • Notice pings or knocks from the engine
  • You hear rattling or clicking noises
  • Your vehicle is starting to guzzle gas
  • Accelerating has been slow or delayed
  • Notice that exhaust smoke is darker than usual
  • Noticeable leaks of oil, water or other fluids

Is your Engine Making Strange Noises?

If you hear any unusual sounds coming from your engine here are some of the possible causes:

  • Broken or worn engine components or parts
  • Fuel or oil is leaking into the air charge of the cylinders
  • Valves or other timing parts are susceptible to malfunction after increased wear

Even if you don’t experience these symptoms or don't hear any abnormal sounds, give Gary’s Quality Automotive a call if you feel something is just not quite right with your engine. Our ASE-certified engine service experts will ask you some questions and complete a diagnosis of your engine.
