Engine Repair and Diagnostics at Integra Tire in Calgary, AB

Your vehicle’s engine is its beating heart. Without it, your car cannot convert gasoline into the power that drives its movement. At  Integra Tire in Calgary, we know that keeping your engine in peak condition is vital for your vehicle’s performance and longevity.

How Does Your Engine Work?

Most vehicles today use an internal combustion engine. Combustion, or burning, is the process of releasing energy from a mixture of fuel and air. In an internal combustion engine, this fuel mixture is ignited inside the engine itself, and the energy produced is partially converted into motion. The engine consists of a stationary cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding gases from combustion drive the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft, ultimately powering the wheels through the gearing system of the powertrain.

Signs of a Failing Engine

Engine failure symptoms should never be ignored. If you notice any of the following signs, bring your vehicle to  Integra Tire in Calgary for a check-up:

• Check engine light – If this warning light appears on your dashboard, it could indicate a minor issue like a loose gas cap or a serious engine problem.
• Unusual noises – Strange sounds while driving or idling can be a sign of engine trouble.
• Irregular movement – A malfunctioning engine can cause your car to shake, stutter, jerk, or lose power.
• Low gas mileage – A sudden drop in fuel efficiency often points to engine issues.

Why Is Engine Repair Critical?

Routine engine maintenance is essential to keep your car or truck performing at its best. Since the engine bears the entire load of your vehicle, maintaining it well ensures that all components function efficiently. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and air filter replacements, prevents the accumulation of dirt, old oil, and wear that can shorten engine life. At  Integra Tire in Calgary, we provide comprehensive diagnostic checkups to keep your engine running smoothly.

By following a good maintenance schedule, you can extend your engine's lifespan and save on costly repairs. Bring your car to  Integra Tire in Calgary for a full diagnostic check to ensure your engine’s health and maintain clean fluids.

How Do We Diagnose Engine Problems?

Diagnosing engine issues often involves the use of electronic diagnostic tools. When an engine isn’t running properly, the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic system records “trouble codes” that help pinpoint the issue. Our diagnostic tools read these codes, and we verify the results through inspection and a road test. Common issues include the need for engine plug replacements or spark plug misfires caused by wear or damage.
