Engine Services
Did you know that an engine replacement can be one of the costliest repairs you can make on your car? Worse still, most engine malfunctions can be avoided with better preventive maintenance. Foreign Car Repairs takes the welfare of your engine seriously and offers several services to prevent the need for future engine replacement.
An engine is a true marvel, consisting of hundreds of moving parts and electrical systems operating at high temperatures alongside complicated mechanical components. It’s important not to forget the hard work we demand from our engines every day.
Engine Repair, Service, and Maintenance
The timing belt is the engine part that needs the most common major service. Belts should be checked at 60,000 miles and again at 100,000 miles.
Oil leaks are a clear sign of an engine in need of service, and they’re almost always the direct result of poor maintenance. Seals become hard and dry and fail to protect against fluid loss. Leaks can lead to catastrophic engine failures.
A clean engine is a happy engine. Make sure you get fluid flushes and fuel injection cleanings as recommended by the manufacturer. Foreign Car Repairs can tell you definitively when your car is due.
Tune-ups can be a good resource for your vehicle. We provide a tune-up with a 24-month/ 24,000-mile warranty. A tune-up means different things for different cars, but it usually involves spark plug replacement, spark plug wire inspection, setting of the timing belt or timing chain, a thorough, diagnostic inspection of engine parts, and the replacement of air filters and fuel filters where applicable.
Your engine is a complex machine, and other components will break down occasionally. Foreign Car Repairs can provide repair services for your ignition systems, ignition wires, crank case, fuel pump, water pump, sensors—including the oxygen (O2) sensor— distributor cap, and rotor.
Oil & Filter Change
Perhaps no part of automotive maintenance is as routine as getting your oil and your oil filter changed. Most of us accept this as a minor expense that comes a few times a year, but few drivers appreciate just what can go wrong when an oil change is not done properly. Our professionals have time and again serviced cars that have started to suffer because of careless oil changes.
If it’s time for you to consider an oil change, trust your car to professionals who place as much care in oil changes as they do in engine replacements. At Foreign Car Repair, that’s exactly the kind of thorough and detail-oriented service we provide to every customer who comes to our shops. We’re ready to walk you through your oil change options, address any foreseen issues, and get you back on the road as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
Not Your Average Oil Change
If you own a car, you already have some idea what your oil change experience will be like as soon as your oil light comes on. For 43 years, Foreign Car Repairs has been trying to change that idea and offer customers an uncommon level of service and comfort during their oil changes.
