Additional Services We Offer

Oil Changes

Regular oil changes provide a snapshot of your engine's health. Fresh oil should darken slightly, maintaining a consistent thickness without any gritty particles. Solid particles in the oil can indicate serious internal wear, which could lead to significant engine damage. At Carmine's Import Service, our oil analysis helps in detecting and addressing such issues early.

Engine Coolant Check

Engine coolant is critical in maintaining your engine within safe operating temperatures. Overheating can lead to serious issues like radiator damage from overpressurized coolant. Using the correct coolant prevents these risks, safeguarding your engine's performance.

Filters

Clean filters are vital for delivering pure air and fuel to your engine, crucial for optimal combustion and performance. We replace air, oil, and fuel filters as part of our comprehensive engine maintenance to ensure your vehicle runs efficiently.

Ignition Wires & Cables

Healthy ignition wires and cables are essential for transmitting electrical sparks to your engine's spark plugs. Symptoms of failing wires include misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and engine vibrations. If you experience these, our mechanics at Carmine's Import Service can replace faulty wires and restore engine function efficiently.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs are key in delivering the necessary spark for combustion. Worn spark plugs can cause starting troubles and poor engine performance. Our team can check and replace your spark plugs to maintain optimal engine efficiency.

Authorized Jasper Dealer

Revive Your Vehicle with JASPER. Whether it's that strange oil slick in your driveway or the weird noises coming from under your hood, these issues don't have to signal an impending car payment. Instead, rely on the trusted professionals at Carmine's Import Service to install a completely remanufactured JASPER gas or diesel engine, transmission, or differential, swiftly getting you back on the road.

Cylinder Head Repair

The cylinder head is crucial in sealing the engine and managing airflow. Proper function prevents compression issues and driving difficulties. Our experts offer thorough inspections and repairs to ensure your engine's top performance.

Engine Repair 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 engine 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 Carmine's Import Service in Kernersville.

What Could Cause a Check Engine Light to Come On?

Come by Carmine's Import Service 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.

How Long Should an Engine Repair Take?

The time it takes to rebuild an engine varies greatly, ranging from a few days for simple jobs to several weeks for intricate work. Regardless of the timeframe, a thorough understanding of the engine's components and strict adherence to the manufacturer's guidelines are essential for a successful and long-lasting rebuild.

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 Carmine's Import Service 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.

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.
