How a Engine Inspection works with My Auto Shop:
Our qualified mechanic will look to complete a thorough inspection of your vehicle's engine using the information or symptoms you have provided via the My Auto Shop platform. To complete this the mechanic will usually start by plugging into your OBDII port and completing a complete diagnostic scan. This will highlight any error or warning codes your vehicle has and will provide the mechanic with information they. need to fix your problem.
Depending on the symptoms the mechanic will take a good look at your vehicles:
- Drive & timing belts (cambelt, serpentine belts);
- Camshaft & crankshaft;
- Spark plugs; or
- Oil pan.
Before completing any repairs the mechanic will complete a quote and look for your approval.
When your engine is running louder than normal its often as a result of a:
- Failing Muffler
- Failing Catalytic Converter
- Broken Tail Pipe
- Leak in Exhaust Manifold
- Worn Seals or Gaskets
- Malfunctioning Oxygen Sensors
- Bad or Dirty Spark Plugs
- Dirty Mass Airflow Sensor

Thermostat Replacement
The thermostat helps to do a whole bunch of important things in your cooling system. Think of it as a halfback, it’s small, manages a whole bunch of components and can cause headaches if it stops doing its job.
New Fuel Filter
Much like when you drink clean water, your car responds best to clean fuel. If any contaminants get into the fuel line, injectors, and combustion chamber, it can lead to damages and other issues. The fuel filter, surprisingly, filters the fuel that comes from the fuel tank to the engine.
Air Intake Replacement
In order to get air into your engine it first passes through an air filter which is connected to the intake plenum. The air intake is the system from which air gets from outside to inside the engine. It also houses important sensors like mass airflow sensors and intake temperature sensors.
Spark Plug Replacement
Spark plugs are the reason a petrol powered engine works. They are a part of the all important process known as “fuel, air and spark”. Without one of these components, your car's engine will not be able to work.
