Engine Maintenance Services

Check Engine Light
No one likes to see their car's "Check Engine" light come on. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. At Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 907-479-6162 or stop by the shop for our expert assistance.

Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine.

Ignition
Your vehicle's ignition system is responsible for starting the engine by delivering an electrical spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Issues can involve a worn ignition switch, a faulty ignition coil or broken or corroded wiring. These problems can lead to symptoms like the engine failing to start, intermittent stalling, dashboard warning lights, or even complete power loss while driving.

Ignition Wires & Cables
These vital parts transfer the spark from the ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the mixture of fuel and air. The mixture starts the engine. Over time, ignition wires and cables get weak and break down. This makes it impossible for the spark to reach the engine cylinders. This results in the engine misfiring. Common symptoms of faulty ignition cables and wires are: poor gas mileage, engine misfires, engine light is on, and engine vibration.

Oil, Lube, and Filter
To keep running smoothly, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every three months (or 3,000 miles) in order to function optimally.

Spark Plugs
A spark plug delivers electric current to the combustion chamber from the ignition system. Spark plugs that haven't been changed for a long time can cause ignition problems. At Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 907-479-6162 or visit Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC today.


Spark Plug Related FAQs


How do you know when a spark plug needs to be replaced?

The most common sign that a spark plug needs replacing is an engine that hesitates during acceleration. Other warning signs may include engine misfires during startup, rough idling, sluggish acceleration, declining fuel economy, and engine knocking.

What else should I replace when replacing spark plugs?

If you're considering having your vehicle's spark plugs replaced, there's a good chance the spark plug wires should be replaced as well. Ignition wires become brittle over time, and worn wires can lead to engine misfires, poor performance, and reduced fuel economy.



Check Engine Light FAQs


What could cause a check engine light to come on?

Come by Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC 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 routine 50,000- or 100,000-mile manufacturer maintenance service.

Is it okay to drive with the engine light on?

The short answer is no. The longer explanation is that the light may indicate a serious engine problem, and continuing to drive as if nothing is wrong could result in much more expensive repairs. A check engine light means you should have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible by a professional at Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC in Fairbanks.

What is the most common problem with my check engine light?

A loose gas cap is one of the most common reasons a check engine light comes on. However, the best way to determine the exact cause is to have a technician at Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC read the diagnostic code stored in your vehicle's onboard OBD computer.

What does a solid check engine light mean?

A steady check engine light generally indicates a non-emergency issue that still needs attention. Come by Peger Road Auto Repair, LLC and we'll help diagnose and resolve the problem before it becomes more serious.

What does an intermittent flashing check engine light mean?

A flashing check engine light is a warning of a potentially severe problem that requires immediate attention. Get your vehicle to an auto repair shop as quickly as possible, or safely park it and arrange for a tow to your preferred repair facility to avoid further engine damage.

I have nothing but high praise for this company, Peger Road Auto Repair. I had a serious issue with my power steering I was having to put steering fluid in her every other day, I called around to get estimates but of course everyone said I had to get a diagnostic done, and most were booked out for quite some time and I could not let this continue. I took it to PRAR fearing what the price would be they did their diagnostic test and and found that it was not my power steering pump as I thought it was I needed a new hose, they took it to a place they work with and they literally built me a brand new hose put my baby back together and had my baby back within 6 hours. I even took my rental back super early and they were surprised to see me back on the same day. The front staff SUPER friendly and understanding as well as the the mechanic. They did amazing work and I will be taking my car back to them again without hesitation in the future. And lets not forget the warranty 36 months on the parts come on. Take a chance with them I HIGHLY doubt you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't and they now have a client for life. Thanks guys and I will continue to tell everyone I know who has car problems to get with PRAR they are the right people for the job. thanks again it was truly my pleasure and you saved me so much money. Thanks once again stay great.

Ive brought my 2000 Toyota Tacoma here multiple times. Although I've spent $4273.81 here; I feel each penny was put to good work. If it weren't for them, my truck would not be running as smooth as it does today. Extremely understanding customer service at the desk & the mechanic I spoke with seemed very well informed and easy to talk with. Not to mention they run a sweet discount with Enterprise for the time your vehicle is in their shop. Thank You @PegerRoadAutoRepair
