Engine Diagnostics and Repair Services

Your vehicle’s engine is the heart of your car, and keeping it in top condition is essential for its performance and reliability. At Alba Auto Service, we specialize in expert engine repair services, diagnostics, and rebuilds to ensure your car runs smoothly. With over 40 years of experience serving North Vancouver, our team is here to handle all your engine-related needs with precision and care.

Why Engine Repairs Are Important

Your engine works tirelessly every time you drive, converting fuel into energy to keep your vehicle moving. Over time, wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or sudden mechanical issues can affect its performance. Addressing engine problems early is crucial to prevent further damage and costly repairs. Whether it’s a minor issue like a sensor malfunction or a major repair like a timing belt replacement, our team at Alba Auto Service is equipped to help.

Comprehensive Engine Repair Services

At Alba Auto Service, we provide a wide range of engine repair services to address any issue, no matter how big or small. Here’s what we offer:

1. Engine Diagnostics and Repair
   Modern vehicles rely on advanced computer systems to monitor engine performance. If your check engine light comes on, our team will use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify the problem quickly and accurately.
2. Timing Belt Replacement
   The timing belt is a critical component that keeps your engine’s valves and pistons working in sync. A worn or broken timing belt can cause severe engine damage. We’ll inspect and replace it as needed to prevent costly repairs.
3. Fuel Injection Cleaning
   Dirty fuel injectors can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, poor performance, and rough idling. Our fuel injection cleaning service restores your engine’s efficiency by removing build-up and ensuring proper fuel delivery.
4. Engine Rebuilds
   For engines that have suffered significant damage or wear, we offer complete rebuild services. Our experienced mechanics will disassemble, clean, repair, and reassemble your engine to restore it to peak condition.
5. Head Gasket Repairs
   A blown head gasket can cause overheating, oil leaks, and loss of engine power. We’ll assess the damage and repair or replace the gasket to restore your engine’s reliability.
6. Spark Plug Replacement
   Faulty spark plugs can cause misfires and reduce engine efficiency. We’ll replace old or damaged plugs to keep your engine running smoothly.
7. Cooling System Repairs
   Your engine’s cooling system prevents overheating, which can cause severe damage. From radiator repairs to coolant flushes, we’ll ensure your engine stays at the right temperature.

Signs Your Engine Needs Repairs

Recognizing the warning signs of engine trouble early can save you from costly repairs and breakdowns. Visit Alba Auto Service in North Vancouver if you notice any of the following:

• Check Engine Light Is On: This warning light indicates a potential problem with your engine or related systems.
• Unusual Noises: Knocking, ticking, or grinding sounds from the engine may signal internal damage.
• Decreased Performance: If your car struggles to accelerate, loses power, or runs rough, it’s time for a diagnostic check.
• Oil Leaks: Puddles of oil under your vehicle can indicate engine seal or gasket issues.
• Excessive Smoke: Blue, black, or white smoke from the exhaust may point to engine trouble.
• Overheating: If your engine overheats, it could be due to cooling system failure or internal engine issues.
