Engine Services: Proper Maintenance Is Critical for all Vehicle Engines

Engine replacement is very expensive, so regular inspection and maintenance is critical. In fact, engine longevity usually comes down to how often and how well your engine is maintained. Google ‘engine repair shop near me’ for directions to your local Mufflerman location.

Signs that your engine needs to be serviced:

    • Your engine feels like the power is diminished.
    • Your vehicle is experiencing frequent stalling.
    • Your vehicle is not running smoothly.
    • The engine is misfiring.
    • You are having difficulties starting the vehicle.
    • Your vehicle idles roughly.
    • Your vehicle’s gas mileage is diminishing.
    • You have noticed excessive fuel consumption.

The “Check Engine” light can turn on for a variety of reasons, some of them minor, while others can present major problems if left unchecked. The Mufflerman will investigate the issue and ensure you leave with a vehicle that’s running as good as new. 

Our qualified technicians will inspect your engine and make the repairs to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Tune Ups

Regular engine maintenance will lengthen the life of the engine, its related components, and the vehicle itself. It will also save you money as proper engine maintenance will reduce the frequency and cost of repairs. It’s best to pay a little for regular maintenance than get stuck with a large repair bill down the road.

 

At The Mufflerman, we’ll check your engine, as well as the wiring, air, oil, and fuel filters and spark plugs to ensure there is no unnecessary wear or loose connections. We’ll also do an engine inspection to make sure there are no leaks, worn parts or other issues. Our inspections and tune-ups are comprehensive and performed by qualified mechanics.

Engine and Fuel Systems Maintenance

Unlike the traditional method of dealing with contamination of carbon build-up, which only cleaned the injectors, the BG Fuel / Air Induction Service is a total engine cleaning and decarbonizing system that gently strips away the levels of carbon deposits in your vehicle from intake to exhaust, without disassembling the engine or removing any components. It is a superior approach to fuel systems maintenance that restores power and fuel efficiency.

What a BG Fuel / Air Induction Service can do for Your Vehicle:

  • Cleans fuel injectors
  • Cleans throttle body, plenum and air intake
  • Removes baked-on carbon from valves, ports, piston crowns and combustion chambers
  • Removes deposits clogging the catalytic converter

To Keep your fuel and air systems clean and your car running like new, we recommend the BG Fuel/ Air Induction Service to be performed every 15,000 miles/24,000 km.

A red light means there’s an issue and you need to get to a service station right away. If the light is flashing, you need to bring it in for service right away.

Your dash indicator lights turn on and off when the car starts as a quick system check. If you notice one doesn’t light up when you start your car, one of the lights is likely burnt out.

Hoses and belts should be checked at each oil change for age hardening or softening. If a hose is feeling rock hard or mushy, it’s leaking, it has visible cracks, or blistering of any kind, it’s due for a replacement. If the belts are loose, it may be time to replace them as well.
