When Is it time for an Engine Repair or Rebuild for your Vehicle?

If your vehicle’s engine has gone cold, it can be brought back to life by a Professional auto mechanic team that is well-trained in engine service. With expert training, our ASE-certified technicians at Clausen Automotive can regain your engine’s original performance condition. How do you ask? The answer is simple—from a minor engine repair, including head gaskets or valve job, to a complete engine rebuild.

What will an Engine Service Diagnostic Analysis discover?

If you are experiencing any of the signs of engine problems, bring your car or light truck to Clausen Automotive and ask for a diagnostic analysis. This “check-up” could save you a more expensive engine repair later.

Look for these indicators of an engine problem:

  • “Check engine” light flickers or stays on
  • Rough idling
  • A pinging or knocking noise coming from the engine
  • Acceleration worsens the sounds from under the hood
  • Hear rattling or clicking noises
  • Lower fuel efficiency
  • Acceleration is slow or delayed
  • Exhaust smoke is darker than usual
  • Notice fluid (such as oil, water, transmission) leaking from the engine area

If you feel that something is just not quite right with your engine, give our trained mechanics at Clausen Automotive a call. Our ASE-certified engine service experts will be happy to answer your questions and perform a vehicle inspection to provide you with a complete analysis of any problems.  Proudly Serving Vehicle Owners in Madison, WI.
