Engine Repair & Maintenance in Burlington

Your engine is one of, if not the most important component of your car. Without it working in proper order, it's impossible for you to go anywhere. If it runs inefficiently, you may face a whole host of problems that can be avoided with relatively simple maintenance. At Corporate Autoworks we provide all of the expertise and parts needed to keep your engine running happily and at peak efficiency.

Below are the services we can perform to ensure your engine remains healthy:

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 Corporate Autoworks, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 905-333-9201 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 905-333-9201 or visit Corporate Autoworks today.

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 Corporate Autoworks 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 Corporate Autoworks in Burlington, Ontario L7L6E9. 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 Corporate Autoworks in Burlington, Ontario L7L6E9.

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 Corporate Autoworks, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 905-333-9201 or visit Corporate Autoworks today.

Whether you're in need of simple oil service, or more significant engine maintenance, call Corporate Autoworks at 905-333-9201 to learn how we can help you get back on the road quickly!

Check Engine Light FAQs

Is it okay to drive with the engine light on?

The short answer, "No." The longer explanation is the light may indicate a serious engine failure and continuing to use your car as if nothing is wrong could result in a very expensive repair bill. The check engine light means you should stop driving and have your car looked at as soon as possible by a professional at Corporate Autoworks in Burlington.

What could cause a check engine light to come on?

Come by Corporate Autoworks and we can diagnose the reasons for a check engine light turning on. It can range from something serious like a faulty catalytic converter or potential engine failure to something simple like a loose gas cap or the need for a simple 50K or 100K mile manufacturer maintenance check.

What is the most common problem with my check engine light?

A loose gas cap is the most common cause of a check engine light coming on. But the best method to determine why the check engine light is on is to have a professional at Corporate Autoworks read the diagnostic code in the car's internal OBD computer.

What does an intermittent flashing check engine light mean?

Flashing check engine lights warn of severe situations requiring immediate attention. Get your vehicle to an auto repair shop as quickly as possible or get it safely parked and call a tow truck to take it to your preferred auto repair shop.

What does a solid check engine light mean?

A steady check engine light indicates a non-emergency issue. Come by Corporate Autoworks and we can help.

Serpentine Belt FAQs

How do I know if I need to replace my car's serpentine belt?

If your serpentine belt is failing, you may notice performance issues with your vehicle. The vehicle may frequently overheat. Your air conditioning or power steering may fail to work or not work properly. You may notice your vehicle battery failing to recharge if the alternator is affected by a bad serpentine belt. If you start to notice any of these issues we encourage you to bring your vehicle to Corporate Autoworks as soon as possible to avoid bigger problems and breakdown.

Spark Plug FAQs

What else should I replace when replacing spark plugs?

If you are considering having your vehicle's spark plugs replaced, there's a high probability that your spark plug wires need changing as well. Ignition wires become brittle over time. Old ignition wires can break and cause misfires or declining fuel economy.

How do you know when a spark plug needs to be replaced?

The most common sign a spark plug needs replacing is the feeling that the car's engine is hesitating when accelerating, but other signs may include misfiring at start up, rough idling, sluggish acceleration, declining fuel economy and engine knocking.

My car was leaking oil. Called the shop and they could accommodate my schedule first thing in the morning for a quick check up. Found the issue was the gasket and replaced it quickly. Honest and reliable auto shop. See you again later. Thanks.

Our 2008 CR-V Honda engine overheated in highway traffic and CAA towed us to Corporate Autoworks. Stephanie capably triaged us from the start... She listened to us with empathy, offered us tea, fed us Nutri bars...Her son Gavin diagnosed our engine fan problem. They drove us to the car rental company where we continued our trip. Stephanie did a Canada wide search for two engine fans, found new after market ones and ordered them. She emailed and texted us with updates, estimates...full transparency from start to finish! Gavin made efficient, proficient work of installing the fans and we have our car for the long weekend. The drive home was happily uneventful...engine data on my dashboard in the sweet spot! There are many reliable mechanics around, but the humanity and service Stephanie and Gavin showed us made for a "soft landing" as Stephanie said. Their professionalism is exemplary, their service Best-in-Class and the Nutri Bars hit the spot! I drove away feeling I met a new friend!

My engine light was coming on and through trial and error they found out what it was. It took longer than expected with so many things it could be. They never gave up. Great work.
