Your engine is the heart of your vehicle. Keeping it in good condition helps maintain performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. If you notice any of the warning signs below, it may be time to schedule engine repair service.

  • The check engine light is on or flashing
  • Engine is misfiring or running rough
  • Loss of power or poor acceleration
  • Unusual knocking or tapping noises
  • Decreased fuel efficiency
  • Excess exhaust smoke or unusual odors
  • Engine stalling or difficulty starting

Safety Note: If your engine is stalling, making loud knocking noises, or showing signs of severe performance loss, more extensive repairs may be required. In some cases, continued driving could cause further damage. Have your vehicle inspected by a Firestone professional as soon as possible.

  • WHAT WE DO: Inspect your engine, run diagnostic tests, and identify the cause of performance issues. Based on the results, we recommend and complete the necessary repairs to help restore engine function.
  • WHAT QUALIFIES: Check engine light alerts, rough idling, loss of power, poor fuel efficiency, unusual noises, or starting issues may all indicate the need for engine repair.
  • WHAT DOESN’T QUALIFY: Severe internal engine damage—such as major component failure—may require engine replacement or more extensive repairs beyond standard service.
  • INCLUDED CHECKS: We may inspect filters, fuel system components, ignition system parts, and sensors to identify related issues and ensure your engine is operating properly.
  • AVERAGE ENGINE REPAIR SERVICE TIME: Service time can range from about 1 hour for minor repairs to several hours depending on the issue and parts required.
  • SERVICE INTERVAL: Engine service isn’t always scheduled at set intervals. It’s recommended to have your engine inspected anytime warning signs appear or when the check engine light comes on.
