ENGINE MAINTENANCE


Engine maintenance is vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performance. It also impacts the longevity of your vehicle's engine. Trust the experts at Cruz Auto Repair to help you protect your investment. Call us at 510-215-1841 or visit our shop in Richmond 94804.

These are some of the engine maintenance services we offer.

Check Engine Light
No one likes to see their car's "Check Engine" light come on. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. At Cruz Auto Repair, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 510-215-1841 or stop by the shop for our expert assistance.

Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 510-215-1841 or visit Cruz Auto Repair today.

Fuel/Air Induction System Service
Using the 3pt JB fuel injection system service kit. Add can #1 to fuel to clean and stabilize fuel in tank; remove water from fuel system, clean fuel lines injector(s) and return lines. Add can #2 to oil to clean the PCV system, exhaust valves, honeycomb portion of the catalytic converter, remove sulfur deposits from o2 sensors and clean emission banks. Using the vacuum drip tool, inject can #3 into a strong vacuum source (brake boost) at 1000-1500rpm to clean intake valves and combustion chamber. Clean throttle body and MAF sensors (if applicable). Remove and replace air filter. Road test for proper operation and to allow can #2 to be pushed through the emission system under pressure.

Ignition
An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car. For all your ignition system maintenance and replacement needs, call or visit Cruz Auto Repair today.

Ignition Wires & Cables
Ignition cables also known as spark plug wires are an important part of your car's ignition system. They transfer the spark from the ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the mixture of fuel and air. The mixture starts the engine. Over time, ignition wires and cables get weak and break down. This makes it impossible for the spark to reach the engine cylinders. This results in the engine misfiring. The car will eventually fail to start. If it does start, it will run poorly. Common symptoms of faulty ignition cables and wires are: poor gas mileage, engine misfires, engine light is on, and engine may vibrate. If your car needs new ignition cables and wires, call or visit Cruz Auto Repair in Richmond, CA 94804. Here, you will have the wires and cables changed by a top-rated mechanic.

Oil, Lube, and Filter
To keep running smoothly, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every three months (or 3,000 miles). When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to Cruz Auto Repair in Richmond, CA 94804.

Spark Plugs
A spark plug delivers electric current to the combustion chamber from the ignition system. Spark plugs that haven't been changed for a long time can cause ignition problems. At Cruz Auto Repair, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 510-215-1841 or visit Cruz Auto Repair today.

Cruz and his team have been repairing my car for the last few years. They have done an amazing job. I just recently got my control arm replace because it kept making noise. My car feels great after their repair.

I just met Augustin, and he really took good care of me. Replaced the damaged parts that were causing a vibration in my Dodge Ram. He took it for a test drive and made some recommendations for service. Great service, honest, friendly, and very reasonably priced. Thank you! I highly recommend this shop.
