Engine Repair

Oil and engine repairs

One of the easier ways to avoid major engine repairs is to keep your vehicle completely and properly lubricated with oil. Oil is also essential because the fluid keeps the metallic parts of your engine from wearing each other out excessively quickly.

Our simple solution to preventing many of the problems which come from a lack of oil is to bring your vehicle to Holland Car Care. We’ll check your vehicle for proper oil levels, which also involves inspecting the vehicle for oil leaks and signs indicating oil is burning.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs are readily overlooked. These parts amount to small, highly potent batteries which help create combustion for your engine.

While they tend to last a long time, they do eventually require repair or replacement. You’ll either see spark plugs on your scheduled maintenance plan or potentially notice your vehicle offering less power – and potentially a rougher start when the spark plugs are dirty or bad.

Timing Belt

Holland Car Care likes to replace timing belts but would prefer to do so before the timing belt breaks. The timing belt is critical in the livelihood of the engine because the belt or chain allows the rods and pistons to move together in the right sequence without disrupting each other and potentially causing catastrophic consequences for your engine.

We can inspect your timing belt and see if it needs repair or replacement before the belt breaks and causes a host of problems.

Rods, Pistons, and Cylinders

Actual problems within the inner workings of the engine are relatively rare. We do, however, see people come in with truly blown engines which can be put back together. While Holland Car Care truly enjoys making these machines work again, we do suggest coming in for the regular maintenance needed to prevent these problems from happening.

Coolant Systems

Another rather important fluid running through your engine comes in the form of what we can coolant. Coolant attracts and absorbs heat and pulls it away from where heat can cause damage. Low coolant or a damaged coolant reservoir, pump, or thermostat can cause major problems very fast as the combustion in your engine gets hot enough to warp the very metal which holds it together.

Conclusion

While engine repair can often be avoided by regular maintenance, Holland Car Care would love to help get your vehicle running normally again. Our factory-trained technicians will diagnose issues with your vehicle and come up with a plan to get you moving. We also offer amenities including a comfortable waiting area and a shuttle service or loaner cars if you need them.
