Engine Repair, Service, and Maintenance

The timing belt is the engine part that needs the most common major service. Belts should be checked around 60,000 miles and again at 100,000 miles.

Oil leaks are a sign of an engine needing service, almost always can they be attributed to a result of poor maintenance. As a result, seals become hard and dry and fail to protect against fluid loss. Catastrophic engine failures may result from leaks like this.

A clean engine is a happy engine. Make sure you get fluid flushes and fuel injection cleanings as recommended by the manufacturer. Clearwater Radiator can tell you definitively when your car is due.

Tune-ups are a good resource for your vehicle. We provide tune-up with a 12-month warranty. A tune-up means different things for different cars, but it usually involves spark plug wire inspection, spark plug replacement, a thorough diagnostic inspection of engine parts, the setting of the timing belt and/or timing chain, and the replacement fuel filters and air filters where applicable.

Symptoms of Engine Problems:
