ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine maintenance is vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performance. It also impacts the longevity of your vehicle's engine. Trust the experts at Superior Auto Care to help you protect your investment. Call us at 239-574-2121 or visit our shop in Cape Coral 33990.
These are some of the engine maintenance services we offer.
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 Superior Auto Care, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 239-574-2121 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 Superior Auto Care 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 239-574-2121 or visit Superior Auto Care 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 Superior Auto Care 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 Superior Auto Care in Cape Coral, FL 33990. 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 Superior Auto Care in Cape Coral, FL 33990.
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 Superior Auto Care, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 239-574-2121 or visit Superior Auto Care today.

What People Say About Us

Tom Heelan, 11/02/2019
In September 2019 I moved to Fort Myers from Nebraska and within a month I had an engine light on, and my “D” for drive light started flashing on my 2009 Honda CRV. I was wary of taking it to a dealer and found Superior Auto Care with honest reviews online. I made an appointment for October 26th and had the pleasure of meeting Miguel Gonzalez, the owner, who assured me the car was safe to drive, then cleared two of the three codes related to the diagnosis of the vehicle. Mr. Gonzalez reported that I needed a 2nd clutch transmission pressure valve replaced. Mr. Gonzalez and his wonderful staff installed this part on my next day off and added quarts of transmission fluid to the car ensuring the cars longevity I am sure. I have an appointment on the 23rd for new spark plugs as the car has 122000 miles on it. While I was in the office, I witnessed Miguel loan a customer his personal truck, this customers service would take some time and Miguel did not want his customer to be inconvenienced. Another customer came in to offer to pay for hoses that Miguel had ordered for the customer’s car. The hoses were the right order, yet Miguel felt that they were not of a suitable quality to install on a customer’s car; Miguel declined to take this customer’s money and said “inferior parts are sometimes the cost of doing business, I won’t pass this cost on to you”. Miguel and his staff did a professional, cost efficient, accurate repair on my car. He was kind and ethical with other customers in my presence. I am grateful that whatever the future brings I know exactly whom to trust my car to going forward. People like Miguel Gonzalez, and his professional staff, offer me the opportunity to write praise that is no more than truth, thank you all I appreciate you. If you, gentle reader, would like to contact me I am Tom Heelan at heelan.tom@gmail.com -

DJ Krakowska, 05/14/2017
As a woman who knows not much about cars, I am always apprehensive about going to a repair shop, until my friend recommended me Brian's Complete Automotive repair shop. I was immediately satisfied with the quote I was given. I was able to get my car in the same day as the initial phone call and was returned by end of day. Not only was the repair fixed properly it was done in a friendly and timing matter. Thank you so much for renewing my faith in mechanics! Love this place! What a painless experience! Thanks guys! Yes, I would gladly recommend this business to a family and friends. Donna K.

This is to inform anyone thinking of choosing this shop for your auto repair needs to LOOK NOWHERE ELSE!!! This is hands down the best option as far as quality of service and value for your hard earned dollars. Derek is professional, practical, to the point and the service he and his expert mechanic offer is second to none. I was informed of the needed repairs step by step and they never took it upon themselves to do more than origanlly discussed without first consulting me. This was very refreshing as I'm sure you all know the old " we quoted you 500.00 but now it's 1500.00 if you want your car back"...sorry:/ Not at Brians Complete Automotive. Seriously, no matter what your vehicles needs are take it to Derek and rest assured you are in the best hands. Thanks for everything! -
N Monique, 01/30/2018
I looked everywhere for an honest mechanic with affordable prices and he was recommended to me by my friends. I was very happy with the service he did on my Volvo convertible and my moms Toyota. He was quick too and since I work not too far he drove me to work and when the car was ready he picked me up. 5 star service for sure! :)

Richard Ross, 09/24/2018
I have a 2006 Ford Explorer with a 4.0L SOHC engine. The engine developed a problem common with this engine at 150,000 miles where the timing chain guides became worn and made a lot of noise. The engine was not burning oil and I just wanted the guides and chains replaced. I searched for a year (not driving my car) for a mechanic that was experienced in performing this repair. Some mechanics I went to would not perform the repair and instead wanted to replace the engine. Other's quoted a price that was equal to installing a new engine. After speaking with Albert at this shop, I was confident that they could do the job and the did the quality work for half the price of others. I could not be happier with the result of the repair and the service I was given.

Highly recommended.

Steve Schlosser, 02/21/2019
Called Miguel on a rear brake issue on my 2015 Ford Edge. Expecting I would have to make a appointment, he said to bring it over and he'd take a look at it. Long story short within 3 hrs I had new rear brakes and rotors and back on the road. Without a doubt, the best service at reasonable prices. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks again Miguel for your help.

Miguel is amazing and one of the best mechanics we have ever worked with. He kept us updated throughout the process with texts and pictures. He finished the work very quickly. He went above and beyond to fix things like brake lights and window issues without charge. He was pleasant and easy to work with. We have a long history of used cars/mechanics and Superior exceeded expectations. Thanks Miguel, the world needs more mechanics like you. -
Samuel Popejoy, 04/06/2019
It pains me to remove a star. These guys are incredible. Miguel was so attentive; he gave me his personal number, and kept in touch with me throughout the process. Keep in mind that he works about 130 hours per week during season as you continue reading my review. I brought my truck in about 4 weeks ago. I told Albert, the shop manager, that I had about two weeks to get it done, so no rush. I became slightly concerned, however, when they hadn?t done anything with the truck after a full seven days. After about two weeks, they finally got started. However, I had to cancel RV park reservations and stay in a place that we didn?t want to be for longer than we intended. I dealt with a lot of stress arranging a backup car for the extended repair period. In the end, Miguel delivered the goods, and he threw in some parts and labor for free to compensate for the time I had to wait. I highly recommend the dedication and customer service of this shop, but if you need repairs done quickly during season, you might have to settle for a shop that?s less deservingly popular than Superior Auto Care.

Jordan Mahan, 08/03/2019
Unmatched customer service, timelineness, pricing, quality of repair, and honesty. Miguel and his staff work around the clock to diagnose and repair their customers cars. I?ve trusted Miguel with everything from a new transmission to tires to oil changes; you name it, they do it. He?s even worked in my out of town sisters vehicle on the weekend short notice. 100% trustworthy and not a pushy salesman mechanic. I won?t take my vehicles to anyone else.
