Minor engine repair service typically refers to the diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of relatively simple or common issues within the engine that do not require extensive disassembly or major component replacement. These services are aimed at resolving minor mechanical problems that affect the engine’s performance and reliability. They are usually performed by automotive technicians at repair shops, service centers, or by mobile mechanics.
Mechanics begin by diagnosing the specific issue affecting the engine. This may include checking for symptoms such as rough idling, engine misfires, unusual noises, or reduced performance.
Examples of minor engine repairs include replacing spark plugs, ignition coils, air filters, fuel filters, PCV valves, belts, hoses, and sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors).
