Engine Repair
Engine
A lot can affect your vehicle and its engine, so we understand why people need to know the actual costs of having quality repair work done. It would help if you had our team because we have the experience you trust and the customer service you deserve as a loyal customer. We know your time is valuable, and we want you to be able to spend it how you want instead of needing to sit around for hours at the shop while your car is being serviced. We are confident in our work, offering extended warranties on most repairs to protect you against any future problems.
The most common car engine problems usually occur when the car is run at a temperature above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Several issues can happen when the engine temperature is maintained at this level, ranging from damaged oil seals and gaskets to warped cylinder heads and cylinder walls. Silicone sealers and gasket conditioners cannot prevent several of these issues.
Getting your engine rebuilt can be a daunting task. When your engine starts acting up, it is hard to know whether the issue is expensive or not. It may be hard to determine whether you need to replace an engine or rebuild it. When choosing between the two options, many things have to be considered, including the cost, labor, and even the time taken for repairs.
A vehicle’s engine is like a finely tuned machine that powers every aspect of the car. When you go to Mobile Mechanic New York City, we examine it and see what we are working with before deciding whether to perform a total engine replacement or rebuild your engine instead. We compare the cost of replacing and rebuilding it and help you make an informed decision on which course of action is best for your financial health and safety.
Cooling
New Yorkers are very familiar with the heat index. Combining heat with humidity can be a significant problem for your car. Often, overheated engines are the result of an insufficient cooling system. If your vehicle is overheating, or you notice it does not cool off as fast as it once did, suspect some cooling system trouble.
The engine cooling system consists of coolant passages that circulate the coolant, an electric cooling fan, or fans that move air across the radiator to cool the coolant – which is then returned to the engine. The whole thing sounds pretty straightforward until you realize that several moving parts are involved.
Predictive engine monitors are available that can help your mechanic check for system leaks before they become a problem. The more modern systems are based on computer monitoring that allows the technician to predict when problems occur. There are also monitors available to monitor coolant level, coolant temperature, and coolant pressure on the vehicle. Your mechanic should also advise you to check your car’s cooling system as preventative measures periodically.
Modern engines are built with tight tolerances, which means the spaces between the engine parts are small. When the cooling system is not running at high pressure, there is enough room to squirt some water or coolant into most engine areas. A good mechanic can utilize this “bleeding” method to check the tightness of all connections, hoses, radiator, water pump, thermostat, and where the hoses attach to the engine.
Exhaust
The exhaust system is responsible for a large amount of noise your vehicle creates. It plays an equally important role in keeping your car running efficiently and helping it avoid frequent breakdowns caused by harmful exhaust gasses. This is why it is so important to visit a local muffler repair service if you notice that your car’s performance has gone downhill or if it sounds louder than usual. Seeing a qualified repair shop will help you save money because the technician only needs to repair the problem area instead of replacing the entire exhaust system (and all the parts that go along with it).
When it comes to repairs, exhaust pipes are a significant part of the program. In many instances, you can have your damaged exhaust pipes replaced more cost-effectively than replacing the entire muffler or exhaust system. As you probably already know, replacing your muffler or exhaust system is no small task. This is why it is essential to talk to someone who knows exhaust pipes like our team at Mobile Mechanic New York City, who will steer you clear of exhaust pipe replacement costs that could easily exceed $1,000 or even $2,000 depending on where you live.
People think exhaust systems are mysterious, complicated machines wrapped in cryptic codes and hard-to-grasp terminology. As an alternative to letting the pros worry about identifying the problems, you can take quick-fix measures like web searching for help or paying $20 at your local auto parts store. But web searches often yield confusing answers. The answers you do get may contain step-by-step instructions on how to replace your muffler—but they will not tell you why you need to replace it.
A warning sign that it is time for a new muffler is that the sound of your car’s exhaust starts to resemble an 18-wheeler in full throttle. As you can imagine, this is an unhealthy sound for your health. If you are looking for a mechanic or auto repair service or need an emergency mechanic, contact Mobile Mechanic New York City today.
