At Metro Transmission and Automotive, we stand behind our work. We offer warranties and guarantees on our engine repair services, including:
Parts Warranty: Most new parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which ensures that if a part fails, there will be no additional costs within the warranty period.
Labor Guarantee: We typically offer a labor guarantee for a specified duration. If issues arise from our work within that time frame, we will address them at no extra charge.
Offering these warranties guarantees your satisfaction and builds confidence in the reliability of our services.
The estimated time frame for an engine repair service can vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the specific repairs needed. Generally, most engine repairs can be completed in a few hours. However, extensive diagnostics or parts replacements may take longer. Our technicians will assess the situation during your appointment and provide a more accurate time estimate.
Determining the cost for recommended repairs involves several factors:
Parts and Labor: We provide a detailed breakdown of the parts needed for the repair and the labor costs associated with the work. Our technicians consult industry-standard pricing to ensure you receive a fair estimate.
Complexity of the Repair: More complex repairs may require additional time and resources, influencing the overall cost.
Preventative Repairs and Maintenance: We aim to control costs by identifying issues before they escalate, allowing for more affordable solutions that can prevent major expenses in the future.
Before any work begins, we ensure that all potential costs are clearly explained so you are never caught off guard once repairs are underway.
Unusual Noises: Grinding, knocking, or tapping sounds can signal issues within the engine.
Check Engine Light: This dashboard warning can indicate various problems, so it's crucial to have it checked as soon as possible.
Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Different colors of smoke may indicate specific issues (e.g., blue smoke may suggest burning oil).
Engine Overheating: If your engine temperature gauge is higher than usual, it may indicate a cooling system problem.
Reduced Power or Acceleration: Noticeable decreases in performance can be a sign of internal engine problems.
If you notice these signs, bringing your vehicle in for an inspection as soon as possible is crucial. Early diagnosis can prevent more serious damage and costly repairs down the road.
Preventing costly engine repairs involves regular maintenance and being proactive. Here are some tips:
Routine Oil Changes: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for oil change intervals to keep the engine lubricated and functioning properly.
Regular Inspections: Schedule periodic inspections of your vehicle's engine and related components, including belts, hoses, and fluids.
Monitor Engine Performance: Monitor how your vehicle runs and immediately report any unusual noises or performance changes.
Address Warning Signs Promptly: Don't ignore dashboard warning lights; have them checked out promptly to avoid exacerbating the issue.
We offer preventative maintenance services designed to keep your engine and overall vehicle in optimal condition, helping you avoid expensive repairs in the future.
If your check engine light comes on, don't panic; take action promptly. Here's what to do:
Check for Obvious Issues: Look for problems such as low oil levels, loose gas caps, or visible leaks.
Limit Driving: If the light is flashing, it indicates a more severe problem—reduce driving and avoid high speeds until it's inspected.
Bring It in for Inspection: Schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. We recommend not waiting too long to avoid further damage to your engine. Bring your vehicle in within a day or two of seeing your check engine light come on for comprehensive diagnostics.
