During these inspections, minor issues that are specific to the local climate can be detected early and addressed before they escalate into more serious problems. At Christian Brothers Automotive Valrico, we tailor our maintenance schedules to fit your vehicle's specific needs, considering both manufacturer advice and local conditions.

What Are the Signs of Engine Trouble?

Signs of engine trouble can vary, but common indicators include unusual noises, like knocking or pinging, a decrease in power, or a rough idle.

Frequently driving your car with little fuel can harm your engine over time because the gasoline at the bottom of your tank is usually the dirtiest. When this part is used for fuel, you run a higher risk of dirt reaching your fuel line and engine.

How Christian Brothers Automotive Can Help

Your engine is a complex machine, and other components will break down over time. At Christian Brothers Automotive, our experienced technicians are skilled at solving any engine problems you may face. Our services encompass:

  • Ignition system
  • Ignition wires
  • Crank case
  • Fuel pump
  • Water pump
  • Sensors (such as an o2 sensor)

Pro Tip: The most common sign of an engine in need of service is an oil leak. If you notice oil leaking underneath your car, it’s best to bring it in for service immediately. Typically oil leaks are the result of neglected maintenance, as seals become hardened and dry and can no longer protect against fluid loss.

Your engine is truly a feat of manufacturing and is made of hundreds of high-temperature moving parts and electrical systems alongside complex mechanical components. It’s easy to pay no mind to your engine, but it is what allows you to get from point A to point B reliably–which is precisely why you shouldn’t ignore the upkeep and maintenance of your engine.
