Engine System (1–20) Engine scanner is used as well attached to the OBD2 which reads any engine mulfunctions as well any any stored codes.

1: Engine oil level & condition
We check a car’s oil level and condition to ensure proper lubrication, prevent engine damage, maintain efficiency, detect leaks or contamination, and extend vehicle lifespan.


2: Oil leaks
We check for oil leaks in a car to prevent engine damage, avoid low oil levels, reduce fire risks, and ensure safe operation vehicle reliability.

3: Coolant level & condition
We check a car’s coolant level and condition to prevent overheating, protect engine components, maintain temperature, detect leaks or contamination, and ensure reliable, safe operation.


4: Radiator condition
We check a car’s radiator condition to ensure proper cooling, prevent overheating, detect leaks or damage, maintain engine efficiency, and support reliable, safe vehicle operation.

5: Radiator cap
We pressure test a car’s radiator cap to ensure proper sealing, maintain correct system pressure, prevent coolant loss, avoid overheating, and protect overall engine performance and reliability.

6: Hoses (cracks/leaks)
We check hoses in a car to prevent leaks, ensure proper fluid flow, avoid overheating, detect cracks or wear, and maintain reliable, safe vehicle operation.

7: Belts (wear/tension)
We check belts in a car to ensure proper operation of engine components, prevent breakdowns, detect wear or cracks, avoid failures, and maintain reliable, safe performance.

8: Timing (making sure there is no misfire)
We check timing in a car to ensure proper engine
synchronization, optimize performance, prevent misfires or damage, improve fuel efficiency, and maintain smooth, reliable vehicle operation. synchronization, optimize performance, prevent misfires or damage, improve fuel efficiency, and maintain smooth, reliable vehicle operation.

9 : Engine mounts
Hood up, engine running, brake applied, revving engine. We check engine mounts in a car to reduce vibration, secure the engine, prevent damage, maintain alignment, improve comfort, and ensure safe, smooth vehicle operation.

10: Air filter condition
We check a car’s air filter condition to ensure clean airflow, improve engine performance, maintain fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and prevent dirt from damaging internal engine components.

11: Fuel filter (Engine Stalling or Rough Idle)
We check a car’s fuel filter to ensure clean fuel flow, prevent engine clogging, maintain performance, protect fuel system components, and ensure reliable, efficient vehicle operation
.

12: Fuel lines & leaks (visual inspection)
We check fuel lines and leaks in a car to prevent fire hazards, ensure proper fuel delivery, maintain performance, avoid fuel loss, and ensure safe operation.

13: Throttle operation
We check throttle operation and leaks in a car to ensure smooth acceleration, proper air intake, prevent vacuum leaks, maintain performance, and ensure safe, responsive driving.

14: Idle quality
We check idle quality in a car to ensure smooth engine operation, detect misfires or issues, maintain efficiency, reduce emissions, and ensure reliable, comfortable driving performance.

15: Engine noise (we use engine stethoscope)
We check for engine noise in a car to detect problems early, identify worn parts, prevent major damage, ensure smooth operation, and maintain reliable, safe performance.

16: Exhaust smoke
We check for exhaust smoke in a car to identify engine problems, detect oil or coolant burning, reduce emissions, ensure efficiency, and maintain reliable, safe operation.

17: PCV valve
We check the PCV valve in a car to ensure proper ventilation, prevent pressure buildup, reduce emissions, avoid oil leaks, and maintain efficient engine performance and longevity.

18: Intake system (around gaskets and vacuum line)
We check the intake system in a car to ensure proper airflow, maintain engine performance, detect leaks or blockages, improve efficiency, and support reliable, smooth operation.

19: Turbocharger (physical inspection)
We check the turbocharger in a car to ensure proper boost pressure, detect wear or leaks, maintain engine performance, improve efficiency, and prevent costly engine damage.

20: Engine warning lights
We check engine warning lights in a car to identify problems early, prevent damage, ensure safety, guide repairs, maintain performance, and keep the vehicle running reliably.
