Universal Auto & Tire Tech Question:
I'm Collins of MENTOR. I had my engine go out and had to have it completely re-done at Universal Auto & Tire in MENTOR. What could I have done to prevent this?
Universal Auto & Tire Tech Answer:
You've got to feel for Collins: an expensive major engine rebuild is pretty extreme. It's a tough situation to be in: maybe you're still making payments on your vehicle 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 manufacturer and Universal Auto & Tire have preventive 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 Universal Auto & Tire 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 vehicle to the point that expensive parts in your engine are being damaged.
Check your vehicle oil level every month and follow your recommended service schedules. And if you're behind on any services, ask your friendly and knowledgeable pro at Universal Auto & Tire to help you work out a plan to get caught up.
