Red’s Auto Repair Tech Question:
I’m Collins of Lake Barrington. I had my engine go out and had to have it completely re-done at Red’s Auto Repair in Lake Barrington. What could I have done to prevent this?
Red’s Auto Repair Tech Answer:
You’ve got to feel for Collins: an expensive major engine rebuildis pretty extreme. It’s a tough situation for Lake Barrington car owners to be in: maybe you’re still making payments on your family car and nobody wants to buy it with a blown engine, so you really have no choice but to pay the money to get it fixed.
This is why your vehicle manufacturer and Red’s Auto Repair haspreventive maintenance schedules – to help you avoid major repairs. Suppose you don’t change your timing belt on schedule and it breaks. That can mean bent valves and a damaged cylinder head.
Maybe you’ve skipped over the Red’s Auto Repair recommendation to replace your coolant and end up with catastrophic overheating.
It could be you’ve skipped a few too many oil changes and now sludge has built up in your family car to the point that expensive parts in your engine are being damaged.
Check your family car oil level every month and follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended service schedules. And if you’re behind on any services, ask your understanding Red’s Auto Repair service advisor to help you work out a plan to get caught up.
