Prime Time Auto CareEngine Service
Let’s find out what your engine is telling you.
A rattle, a rough idle or a loss of power can have more than one cause. Tell us when it happens—cold start, at idle or under load. We’ll use that information to narrow down the problem and explain what we find before you decide on a repair.
Sound familiar?
- Rattling at startup, persistent ticking or an uneven idle
- Misfires, hesitation, reduced power or unusual exhaust smoke
- Oil consumption, visible leaks or a check-engine light
What we can check & discuss
Timing chain or belt inspection, cam/crank timing checks, and replacement of worn chains, guides or tensioners when needed
Valve-clearance checks and adjustment on engines that specify it; inspection of valve springs and related valvetrain components
Mechanical oil-pressure testing and diagnosis of lubrication problems, including possible oil starvation
Compression, leak-down, ignition and fuel-system checks to identify the cause before replacing parts
Valve clearances and timing procedures depend on the engine. We confirm the repair procedure and parts for your vehicle, then walk you through the estimate.
A red oil-pressure warning or severe knocking needs immediate attention. Stop safely, switch off the engine and call for advice before driving further.
