Engine & Timing Repair

The last strike in your day is seeing the "check engine" light stay lit when you start your car. Notorious for not being all that helpful at explaining what's wrong with your vehicle, the check engine light brings with it an unexpected cost you didn't need. 

The good news is that a check engine light can turn on for a variety of reasons, many of them small fixes. No matter what the problem, you can discover why your check engine light—or another unexplained problem—is occurring with a diagnostic service at Martin's Auto Repair.

We specialize in engine repair and ignition timing services.

My Ignition Timing is Off

Spark timing is important and the difference between an engine that runs efficiently, too hot, or not at all. If you notice poor fuel economy and back firing, you may need a timing adjustment. Ignition timing measures when, in degrees of crankshaft rotation, the spark plug fires in relation to each piston. Firing too slow or too fast creates a lackluster driving experience and all around poor performance. The team at Martin's Auto Repair can adjust your ignition timing.

Timing Belt Services

The timing belt is responsible for synchronizing the crankshaft and camshaft(s). When synchronized, your engine's valves open and close in time with the intake and exhaust cycles. If your timing belt breaks or fails, you may experience rough idling and misfires, or see smoke. At Martin's Auto Repair, we offer timing belt replacement services. We recommend visiting a service center early when any engine problems arise. If the timing belt snaps, it can cause damage to the camshaft and cylinder wall.
