Engine Maintenance

Your engine is perhaps the most crucial main part of your car. Your automobile or truck really cannot operate at its best if it isn’t operating at its finest. For this reason, we’re dedicated to provide the expertise and equipment required to maintain your engine operating joyfully and as efficiently as possible.

We offer complete engine maintenance and repair services, including:

Oil Changes and Analysis

Looking at the oil that runs out of your engine during an oil change is one of the easiest methods to find out how well it’s doing. Since the oil flows through a large portion of your engine, it’s a wonderful method to assess the general condition of your vehicle’s powertrain. We need your oil to maintain a steady thickness, contain no solid particles, and have a darker color than its original state. The presence of solid particles in the engine is a serious problem as it indicates that a seal or other component is failing. Engines are made up of several intricately balanced systems with very little room for moving components to pass one another. Any solid particles that enter your engine have the potential to do a great deal of damage very rapidly. Alternative Automotive carries the best oils to change the fluid in your car and does professional analysis on your oil to ensure everything is operating as it should within your engine.

Cooling System Maintenance

The coolant fluid, which maintains the proper operating temperature throughout the engine, is another fundamental item that may spare your engine countless headaches. A considerable quantity of heat is produced by your engine’s numerous moving parts and the combustion chamber explosions that occur within. There are certain temperatures that your engine will happily run at, just like any other equipment. Things may start to go awry as soon as certain limits are surpassed. The breakdown of radiators is a frequent consequence of overheating. As a result of the hot cooling water for the engine, the radiator’s pressure rises over a safe point, spitting out scorching water. Using the engine coolants that Alternative Automotive uses, this risky issue may be avoided.

Filtration Expertise

Your car’s engine needs the components for combustion to be supplied in the cleanest form feasible in order to function properly. In order to achieve this, your engine has a variety of filters that keep things tidy. To maintain your automobile operating at its best efficiency, Alternative Automotive’s engine comprehensive maintenance examines your fuel, oil, and air filters and replaces them as necessary.

Fuel Injection Cleaning

The injectors, which work together with your spark plugs, spray a specific quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber. Over time, these injectors may get blocked by pollutants from the fuel. Alternative Automotive offers a selection of specially formulated injector cleaning solutions that effectively unclog the injector tubing and restore your car’s maximum power output.

Accessory Belt Inspection

Engine accessories that draw power from the engine to operate, such the air conditioner and alternator, are powered by belts. As time passes, these belts might snap and rip. For example, if your alternator belt breaks, your engine won’t be able to produce the power required to maintain itself and charge the battery. Alternative Automotive can closely monitor the condition of your auxiliary belts and make sure that all of the pulleys on your engine are correctly aligned to maximize the life of your belts.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics

The Check Engine light on an automobile is a nuisance for everyone. There are two possible causes of the light: either a little issue like a loose gas cap, or a major one like a damaged catalytic converter. Alternative Automotive is capable of deciphering the code and providing you with a diagnosis. Call 951-677-0027 or visit the shop to receive our professional advice.

Diesel Engine Maintenance

Diesel engines need routine maintenance even though they typically run longer than gasoline engines and don’t require tune-ups. Common upkeep duties consist of:

1. Replacing the filter and oil
2. Replacing the air filter
3. Replacing the fuel filter
4. emptying the gasoline tank
5. the water separators’ drain
6. Replenishing the injectable urea system

For long-lasting assistance with your diesel engine, you can rely on the professionals at Alternative Automotive.

Fuel Injection Maintenance

An engine can get gasoline using a technique called fuel injection. Fuel injectors have entirely taken over from carburetors as the main method of delivering gasoline into the engine since 1990. Fuel is forced through a tiny nozzle by a fuel injector (under high pressure) to atomize the fuel. When the fuel injection system fails, the engine performs poorly and eventually breaks down. Ensure that the fuel injection system in your car is kept in good working order. For any fuel injection replacement and maintenance needs, contact Alternative Automotive at 951-677-0027.

Ignition System Maintenance

To ensure that your engine starts and runs as efficiently as possible, the gasoline engine’s ignition system employs an electric spark to ignite the fuel-air combination. Proper performance of ignition systems is essential for reliable vehicle operation. Contact Alternative Automotive now or stop by for all of your ignition system replacement and maintenance requirements.

New Ignition Wires And Cables

A crucial component of your car’s ignition system are ignition cables, sometimes referred to as spark plug wires. They transmit the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, which light the fuel and air combination. The blend ignites the engine. Ignition wires and cables deteriorate and get weaker with time. As a result, the spark cannot go to the engine cylinders. The engine misfires as a result of this. Eventually, the vehicle won’t start. Even if it does start, its performance will be subpar. Poor gas mileage, engine misfires, the engine light being on, and vibrations in the engine are common signs of malfunctioning ignition connections and wires. If your vehicle need new ignition cables and wires, contact or visit Alternative Automotive in Murrieta, CA 92562. A top-rated mechanic will replace your wires and cables.

Oil, Lube, and Filter Change

Your automobile needs oil, lubricant, and oil filters to function properly. Oil facilitates the lubrication, cooling, and cleaning of engine internal parts. Motor oil gets polluted over time. A three-monthly (or 3,000-mile) oil, lubricant, and filter change is necessary for your automobile. Visit Alternative Automotive in Murrieta, CA 92562 when your vehicle needs its lubrication, oil, or filter changed.

Spark Plugs Repair Or Replacement

The ignition system sends electric current through a spark plug to the combustion chamber. Problems with ignition might arise from long-term neglect of the spark plugs. Our team of automotive specialists at Alternative Automotive will inspect and replace your spark plugs. For all of your needs regarding spark plug replacement or repair, give Alternative Automotive a call at 951-677-0027.
