Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
• Oil Change
  An important part of routine car maintenance is changing the oil regularly. The necessary frequency of oil changes has become a point of contention among experts. The Engine Oil Bible maintains that engine oil can’t be changed often enough, but Nordic Group insists that, with the advent of detergent oils and multi-weight oils, some vehicles can go as far as 6,000 miles before needing an oil change. The best course of action is to check the owner’s manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
  YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.
• Fuel Injection Service/Repair
• Catalytic Converter Repair and Replacement
  Marlin is a nice guy, and very helpful. As far as the mechanical work done, it seems for me it has been hit and miss. I got a catalytic converter replaced, but the exhaust system apparently was not checked as part of the job, so there were pieces of the old converter that got into the muffler that plugged it up, and the engine consequently was overheating, unlike before. This led to other big costly problems. Then, I paid for diagnostics, which amounted to the mechanic's theory, not testing, and I replaced the recommended part, but it was wrong--wasted money. Some bad mistakes, but at other times, did really excellent work.
