Your car’s engine is what gets you from point A to point B, and that’s why it’s important to maintain your engine. That is where your mechanic comes in.
If your mechanic detects an observable problem when you bring in your car for regular maintenance such as an oil change, typically he/she will bring the issue to your attention. The next steps would include
- diagnosing the problem and providing the customer with a quote.
- Fixing the problem
- Preventative maintenance
Signs You May Need Engine Repair:
