Engine – Repair

Maintaining your engine is vital
Your engine is an amazing device- it gives your vehicle the power to drive, with some gas, air and a spark. If you treat engine maintenance as a top priority, your engine will serve you well and go the distance. Every engine has its own specific needs. Engine performance depends on several factors, such as the way you drive (if you drive it hard, you will wear it out sooner). At Klahanie Service Center, our expert technicians will help you get the best performance from your engine. Whatever brings you in- a check-engine light, repair or maintenance, we will give you excellent care, advice and service.

Engine Performance

On occasion, your vehicle’s engine may need more than a simple tune-up. If your “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light is illuminated, your engine is in need of diagnostic testing. Our certified technicians will inspect your engine and let you know exactly what is causing the warning lights to come on. If you should fail an emissions test, we can also perform an emissions diagnostic to determine what repairs may be needed in order to pass the emissions test.

After the engine diagnostic is completed, our technicians may advise specific engine maintenance and/or service of other engine mechanisms for optimal performance. These services may require the following parts:
•Distributor cap & rotor
•Vapor canister filter
•Engine sensors & diagnostics
•Fuel pump
•Crankcase vent filter
•Oil & oil filter change
•Crankcase ventilation (PVC) valve
•Ignition module
•Ignition wires
•Ignition coil pack
•Emissions control system

We will explain any and all recommendations we make in detail and thoroughly answer any questions you may have. We will only provide services and/or repairs that are approved by you. Our expert technicians will give you the utmost complete and quality service, as well as the best advice for your vehicle’s specific needs.

Over time, the tires on your vehicle can develop normal wear and tear through continuous contact with the road surface. This eventually leads to the wearing down of tire tread, which can be dangerous in certain conditions, such as wet or snowy roads. When the grooves of the tire are so worn down that they don’t properly channel water from beneath the tread, hydroplaning occurs. Hydroplaning can be extremely dangerous, as the tire treads are only skimming the surface of the water and the steering wheel is not responding. It is important to make sure your tires are in safe working condition.

What are the warning signs that I need new tires?

• If the depth of your tire’s tread is beneath 1/16 of an inch (roughly 1.6 mm). If you insert a penny face down into the groove and      can see Lincoln’s head, you are in need of new tires.
• If you can visibly see the tread wear indicator bars. These bars run perpendicular to the grooves of the tread. If you see them,      you need new tires.
• If the sidewall of your tires is visible and showing cuts or cracks. This could indicate that your tires might soon begin to      leak.
• If your tires are showing blistering or bulging. This indicates weak areas in your tire, which could cause a blow out.

If you notice any of these warning signs, your tires need to be inspected and replaced. At Klahanie Service Center, we carry a supply of name brands tires you can choose from. Our expert technicians will install them for you.
