Engine Repair & Maintenance in Grand Prairie
Your engine is one of, if not the most important component of your car. Without it working in proper order, it's impossible for you to go anywhere. If it runs inefficiently, you may face a whole host of problems that can be avoided with relatively simple maintenance. At EuropAsian Auto Pro's we provide all of the expertise and parts needed to keep your engine running happily and at peak efficiency.
Below are the services we can perform to ensure your engine remains healthy:
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 EuropAsian Auto Pro's, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 972-647-0314 or stop by the shop for our expert assistance.
Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:
- Changing the oil & filter
- Changing the air filter
- Changing the fuel filter
- Bleeding the fuel system
- Draining the water separators
- Refilling the urea injection system
You can count on the experts at EuropAsian Auto Pro's to help your diesel engine last a long time.
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. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 972-647-0314 or visit EuropAsian Auto Pro's today.
Ignition
An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car. For all your ignition system maintenance and replacement needs, call or visit EuropAsian Auto Pro's today.
Ignition Wires & Cables
Ignition cables also known as spark plug wires are an important part of your car's ignition system. They 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. The car will eventually fail to start. If it does start, it will run poorly. Common symptoms of faulty ignition cables and wires are: poor gas mileage, engine misfires, engine light is on, and engine may vibrate. If your car needs new ignition cables and wires, call or visit EuropAsian Auto Pro's in Grand Prairie, TX 75052. Here, you will have the wires and cables changed by a top-rated mechanic.
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). When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to EuropAsian Auto Pro's in Grand Prairie, TX 75052.
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 EuropAsian Auto Pro's, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 972-647-0314 or visit EuropAsian Auto Pro's today.
Whether you're in need of simple oil service, or more significant engine maintenance, call EuropAsian Auto Pro's at 972-647-0314 to learn how we can help you get back on the road quickly!
Check Engine Light 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 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 EuropAsian Auto Pro's in Grand Prairie.
What could cause a check engine light to come on?
Come by EuropAsian Auto Pro's 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.
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 EuropAsian Auto Pro's 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.
What does a solid check engine light mean?
A steady check engine light indicates a non-emergency issue. Come by EuropAsian Auto Pro's and we can help.
Serpentine Belt FAQs
How do I know if I need to replace my car's serpentine belt?
If your serpentine belt is failing, you may notice performance issues with your vehicle. The vehicle may frequently overheat. Your air conditioning or power steering may fail to work or not work properly. You may notice your vehicle battery failing to recharge if the alternator is affected by a bad serpentine belt. If you start to notice any of these issues we encourage you to bring your vehicle to EuropAsian Auto Pro's as soon as possible to avoid bigger problems and breakdown.
Spark Plug FAQs
What else should I replace when replacing spark plugs?
If you are considering having your vehicle's spark plugs replaced, there's a high probability that your spark plug wires need changing as well. Ignition wires become brittle over time. Old ignition wires can break and cause misfires or declining fuel economy.
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.

This place has one of the best mechanics to ever work on Nissan vehicles. He is also a nice guy and is ready to give you a break. I took my 300zx in to get the oil pressure gauge working. He found it didn't need a new sensor, just reconnecting the cable left off by the person who last changed the oil. No charge.

If I could give this company 10 stars, I would. I came to Claudia and Nathan after a dealership repair shop suggested tearing down my engine for a misfire, but couldn't give me clear reasons as to why (plus the heavy price tag). Claudia and Nathan were so straight forward with me and knowledgeable in engine issues that I immediately felt comfortable with them working on my Subaru. The issue with my car ended up being a significantly lesser problem then the dealership had suggested and was fixed with ease and a fair price tag. Finding a good mechanic can be stressful and I finally did. I highly recommend EuropAsian Auto Pro's for anyone who needs maintenance or repair on their vehicle.

When you find a mechanic that is trustworthy and has integrity you can breathe a sigh of relief. You need to look no further than this shop! In the years that I have been getting both personal and business vehicles repaired and serviced the work has always been done right. Suggestions are made as to the approach and the reasoning for needed repairs. There have even been times where they said, there is no reason or need to go to that expense! I highly recommend them!

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I had taken my 2001 BMW here a while back and the service I received here was like no other. Not only did they fix what I asked, but they even gave me a lot of advice that saved me a lot of money in future repairs. Not many businesses prioritizes morals over profit but I'm glad businesses like this one are around today
Nathan and Claudia treated my daughter like family when her car broke down so far from home. They went above and beyond to diagnose and fix the problem, and even made sure she got home safely by paying for her Lyft home. They thoroughly explained the issues and made expert recommendations. I highly recommend this shop if you're looking for honest, reliable service.
