Your engine is the heart of your vehicle, and cutting corners on engine repairs can lead to serious and expensive consequences down the line. At SL Auto Service & Tyres, we use professional diagnostic equipment to pinpoint faults accurately, provide quality parts suited to your vehicle, and take the time to do the job properly rather than rushing to the quickest fix.
Common Signs Your Engine Needs Attention
Watch out for these warnings signs: an engine warning light on your dashboard, loss of power or sluggish acceleration, excessive smoke from the exhaust, unusual knocking or ticking noises from the engine, overheating, increased fuel consumption, or difficulty starting. Any of these are worth getting checked sooner rather than later, as catching engine problems early almost always means a less expensive repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your engine related questions
How do I know if my cambelt needs replacing?
Cambelts don't usually give warning signs before they fail - which is why they need replacing at the interval specified by your vehicle manufacturer, typically every 4-5 years or 40,000 - 60,000 miles depending on the make model. Check your vehicle handbook or give us a call and we can advise based on your specific car
What happens if a cambelt snaps?
A snapped cambelt can cause catastrophic engine damage, often requiring a full engine replacement. It's one of the most important preventative maintenance jobs on any car - replacing it on schedule is far cheaper than dealing with consequences of it snapping
What are the signs of a failing turbo?
Common signs include a whining or whistling noise from the exhaust, or increased oil consumption. If you notice any of these, it's worth getting it checked before the problem worsens
What's the difference between spark plugs and glow plugs?
Spark plugs are used in petrol engines to ignite the fuel mixture, while glow plugs are used in diesel engines to heat the combustion chamber and aid cold starting. Both wear over time and can cause starting problems, misfires, and poor fuel economy when they need replacing
Can a blown head gasket be repaired?
In many cases yes, though it depends on the extent of damage. Unfortunately we do not offer this service at our garage
How often should I have my radiator checked?
Your coolant and radiator should be checked as part of regular service. Signs of a radiator problem include your engine overheating, coolant leaks, or the temperature gauge reading higher than normal
