Our heavy duty services include:
Cylinder Block
A cylinder block is the powerhouse for the motor vehicle. The solid cast car part houses the cylinders and their components (gaskets, valves, and seals) inside a lubricated and cooled crankcase. Since it is one of the most important parts of your car, the block is designed to be extremely strong and sturdy. Although strong and sturdy, the block is susceptible to failure resulting in a vehicle that won't start. Cracked blocks, porous blocks, core plug, or freeze plug failure are some of the problems facing cylinder blocks. Call 941-786-1595 to talk to the mechanics of Car Doc On The Island about your cylinder block problems.
Cylinder Head
A cylinder head is the closed end of a cylinder (located in a car's engine block). It sits above the cylinder block, closing the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber. The cylinder head coordinates airflow in and out of the engine. Since the cylinder head's chief function is to seal the cylinders properly, insufficient compression results in the car being difficult to drive. To have your cylinder head checked and repaired, talk to Car Doc On The Island's cylinder head repair and reconditioning specialists today.
Engine Maintenance
Any car part manufacturer will tell you that preventive maintenance is critical to the part's lifespan. Like other auto parts, car engines aren't built to last forever. However, you can increase the engine's lifespan by performing regular preventive maintenance. The easiest way to maintain peak performance and fuel economy is to provide regular engine maintenance for your vehicle. To have your engine maintained by experts, visit Car Doc On The Island.
Engine Replacement
The engine converts energy into useful mechanical motion. This amazing machine is what keeps your vehicle moving. Although generally reliable, a car engine is susceptible to damage and breakdown. When this happens, do not sit and stress over it. Take action. Take the vehicle to a mechanic for an engine replacement. Bring it to Car Doc On The Island. Visit us at 410 Bahama St for quality engine replacement services.
Timing Belt
A timing belt is a part of your car's internal combustion engine. The belt synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft rotation so that the engine valves open and close at the correct timings. Also, the belt prevents the piston from striking the valves in an interference engine. A timing belt is a rubber belt that usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a metal roller chain. Most cars we drive now have timing belts instead of timing chains and gears. Although different manufacturers have their recommended mileage, you need to have your car's timing belt checked regularly. To have it checked by experts, contact Car Doc On The Island today.
Transmission Replacement
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and torque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Car Doc On The Island in Venice, FL. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.
My hubs and I took our vehicle to Car Doc on the Island last week. After trying to get into Matthew Currie Ford our dealership to look at my car since it was stuttering when I tried to go from 15 miles per hour to like 35-40. I also noticed I had a motor mount that was cracked and thought that could be the culprit, my engine was moving as I drove. The lady at Ford, who took my call in the service department quoted me 30 days out to have my car LOOKED at and 90 days for transmission issues which she was positive* it was (without looking at my car.) That was not going to work, if something was that wrong with my car 90 days is too long to wait, I kind of read that answer like, we do not want to service this. I called Car Doc on Venice Island by Publix remembering a positive experience there once when I needed an oil change, and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER... Stacy and Erin in the office got me in the NEXT day to diagnose and only took 3 business days to put me back into my car! Yes, it was a little pricey but not as pricey as a new transmission! It ended up being my torque converter-motor mount-and I needed a belt replacement. Had I waited the 90 days my transmission would have blown due to the torque converter and I would have been paying Ford a ton more... Car Doc saved my wallet/car, they took photos, and supplied me with a 'moving forward' maintenance sheet that is SO helpful, Stacy even walked me in the garage showing me my parts that had to be replaced. I will continue to go there, thanks Stacy & Car Doc!!
