Common Engine Repair Questions 

What does the check engine light mean?

Your check engine light communicates with dozens of sensors throughout your vehicle. When a check engine light is illuminated and not blinking, plan on getting it into Garfield Auto as soon as you can. If your check engine light is blinking, your engine could be experiencing immediate and severe damage. Stop driving as soon as possible and make arrangements to leave your car at Garfield Auto. 

How often do I need an engine tune-up?

Most manufacturers recommend an engine inspection and tune-up every 10,000 to 25,000 miles. Older vehicles, especially those with non-electric ignitions, should get their engine inspected more often. Newer vehicles can often go 25,000 miles and up to 50,000 miles without needing a tune-up. 

How much do basic engine repair services cost?

We’ll provide you with a detailed estimate for your engine inspection and repair services and will only begin work with your express approval. If you have questions about your repairs and unique needs, we’ll explain the process and work with you to make the best decision for you and your vehicle.
