Belt Replacement
The serpentine belt is a long, winding rubber belt that powers crucial engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, and in some instances, the water pump. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing the serpentine belt every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. But sometimes you’ll need to replace it sooner than that — especially if you hear squealing noises, or see premature cracks or visible damage. If this happens, Pit Shop Auto Repair will be here to assist you. Replacing a serpentine belt is relatively inexpensive.
Cylinder Repair
Your vehicle’s engine is equipped with cylinders that are responsible for converting fuel into energy to move your car. They’re located in a cylinder block and enclosed with a cylinder head. Over time, these cylinders can crack or unseal and cause engine misfiring, overheating, and poor vehicle performance. Since there are multiple cylinders, a problem with one cylinder doesn’t necessarily mean there are problems with the other ones. But it’s still crucial that you bring your vehicle into Pit Shop Auto Repair at the first sight of a damaged cylinder to help avoid costly repairs.
Ignition System Repair
The ignition system’s job is to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine. It consists of an ignition coil, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Once you turn the key in your vehicle or push the start button, the system starts the car in a matter of seconds. But, one faulty part in this system can make it difficult to start the car, or make it impossible to start the car. The only way to identify the specific part of the ignition system that is making it difficult to start the vehicle is by having it looked at by an experienced, ASE-certified mechanic, like the ones at Pit Shop Auto Repair.
Engine Replacement
Sometimes the most cost-effective solution is to replace your car’s entire engine. If you love your car and don’t want to buy a new one, Pit Shop Auto Repair will replace your engine for you. We replace most models of diesel and gasoline engines. We’ll provide you with an engine that will restore your vehicle’s performance and lasts for years.
