Engine Repair at Benson CDJR in Greer, South Carolina

Why Engine Repair is Important

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle. It allows your vehicle to accelerate, turn, and more. When your engine isn't functioning properly, it can be dangerous - if something breaks, you can't just drive around like normal or you risk more damage to your engine and even potential issues like your car stalling while driving.

When You Should Get Engine Repair

With most engine concerns, your vehicle will tell you that something is wrong. If you have one, a "Check Engine" light will come on. You also might hear clicking, grinding, or whining sounds from the engine or the car might stall while driving or not turn on in the first place.

The Engine Repair Process

Step 1

First comes an inspection of the engine to evaluate the problem and determine what repairs might be needed. Necessary repairs might include replacing a head gasket or belt, sealing an oil pan, and repairing or replacing valves, pistons, connecting rods, bearings, oil pumps, intake manifolds, timing belts, water pumps, and more.

Step 2

Once the necessary repair is determined, a service technician will repair or replace the necessary parts.

Step 3

The technician will check to confirm that the necessary repairs were made and the problem was fixed before returning your car to you.

Cost of Engine Repair

The cost of an engine repair can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car, the availability of parts, and how much work needs to be done. The more extensive the necessary repairs, the higher the cost.

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

• Depending on your budget and how many repairs are necessary, you might consider asking the technician to prioritize the required repairs so that you can get the most important ones taken care of and save for the remainder in the future.

• In some cases, the vehicle might be valued at less than the cost of the repairs necessary to fix it. If this is the case, you might consider purchasing a new vehicle instead.

Signs of a Quality Engine Repair

You'll know you've received quality service when the issues you brought the vehicle in for have been addressed and no new issues arise.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Engine Repair
