We Take Care of All Engine Maintenance and Repair Needs
Car Engine Services
A vehicle’s engine needs a bit of TLC in order to always work its best. The first step in doing this is to consult your owner’s manual and adhere to its maintenance schedule. The next step is to visit your local auto shop for that service. Frog Pond Performance in Oakboro, North Carolina, specializes in all facets of engine repair and maintenance services and uses top-notch parts to protect your vehicle from the ravages of time, wear, and neglect. There are certain components that ensure the function of your engine. Motor oil, for example, cleans, cools, and protects the engine from wear, while coolant helps maintain proper engine temperatures. Additionally, filters keep your air, oil, and fuel free from contaminants that could cause damage. Each of these — and other components, like belts and hoses — require periodic service. If you neglect them, your engine can suffer adhesion wear, friction wear, chemical wear, or breakdowns, all of which can be an unfortunate experience — not to mention terribly expensive in terms of auto engine repair.
What Causes Engine Problems?
For all its possible causes, most engine trouble stems from one form or another of engine wear. That wear, if neglected, can lead to the need for engine repair and additional consequences, such as total engine replacement. But it’s often preventable with timely maintenance and inspection visits to our shop. Something as simple as an oil change prevents abrasive wear, the friction that degrades engine components. This can contribute to adhesive wear, which is when parts begin to fuse because of high engine temperatures. Many components are also subject to fatigue wear stemming from extended use; periods of disuse can allow chemicals to migrate where they do not belong, causing corrosive wear. Following the suggested service intervals in your owner’s manual and heeding reminders from Frog Pond Performance lets you take care of engine maintenance. That, in turn, staves off the worst effects of engine wear and helps prevent costly engine repair needs. If needed, we can even conduct a complete engine rebuild and replacement.
When Do You Need Service?
As mentioned earlier, your owner’s manual is your best bet in determining when your vehicle requires maintenance. However, there are other signs that it’s time to visit us. Keep an eye out for the temperature, oil, or check engine lights—if one or more is lit, come on in. If you notice a lag in performance, or a drop in fuel economy, something is not right and should be addressed sooner rather than later. And, of course, if anything sounds, feels, or even smells unusual, we encourage stopping by! Our mechanics will perform an inspection and diagnostics to troubleshoot the exact issue. Most repairs are also backed by a three-year/36,000-mile warranty. Visit Frog Pond Performance for service at the proper intervals, changing fluids and filters, and taking care of other consumables, and your engine will run its best!
