Engine Repair and Diagnostics in Dearborn, MI

AutoTech Clinic diagnoses and repairs engines at 24100 Michigan Ave in Dearborn, from a check engine light that will not go away to timing belts, head gaskets, oil leaks and fuel system faults. We read the live data, test the part that the code points at, and quote the repair before we touch anything.

A code is a clue, not an answer. Code P0301 tells us cylinder one is misfiring; it does not tell us whether the cause is a coil, a plug, an injector or a burnt valve. Finding that out is the work we do before you spend money on parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Engine Repair and Diagnostics Questions, Answered.

The questions drivers in Dearborn ask us most about engine repair and diagnostics.

Still not sure?

Call the shop and describe what the car is doing. We will tell you what it is likely to be and whether it is a same-day job.

(313) 277-7200

What does the check engine light mean?

It means the engine computer has stored a fault code for something outside its expected range. It can be as small as a loose fuel cap or as serious as a misfire that will damage the catalytic converter. A flashing light means stop driving and call us at (313) 277-7200.

Why do you charge for diagnostics when parts stores read codes free?

A free code read gives you a number. Diagnosis is the testing that tells you which part actually failed, and it is what stops you from buying three parts to fix one problem. We put the diagnostic time toward the repair in most cases, and we explain that up front.

Do you work on foreign engines?

Yes. We service foreign and domestic vehicles and have the scan tools and service data to work on European and Asian engines, including direct injection and turbocharged models.

Can you fix engine problems the same day?

Many of them, yes. Coils, plugs, sensors and most oil leaks are commonly same day jobs. Timing belts, head gaskets and engine replacement take longer, and we give you a realistic time frame before the car comes in.

Is it worth repairing an older engine?

Sometimes it is and sometimes it is not. We give you the repair cost next to the honest condition of the rest of the vehicle, including rust, transmission and suspension, so you can decide. We will tell you when we think the money is better spent elsewhere.

Do you quote before doing the work?

Always. You get the diagnosis, the recommended repair and the price before anything is taken apart. No work happens without your approval.
