Under the hood

You’ve decided to replace your engine - but what do you replace it with? There are a few different options out there, and Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA has the info you need.

Diagnostic Tablet on engine transmission sensor

Our Chesapeake drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Taylor Automotive Service feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on.  The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!

I’ve been getting service at Taylor Automotive for 20+ years (before they were at this location). I know when I get an estimate from them it’s going to be honest, and there isn’t an up-sell for a bunch of service/repair you don’t need. You’ll get service with a smile and you’re not just another face; they know their customers! - Chele (5 star review on Google)

Transmission

At Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA, we know that transmissions are witchcraft to most people. More often than not, if major damage has occurred, it’s a lot more time and cost effective to just replace the entire unit and get a fresh start. Here’s what to look out for, from Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA.

multiple universal joints

U-joints are a small, simple component - in fact, they have changed much since the very first automobiles. However, on any vehicle with a driveshaft, its ability to move depends entirely on the u-joint being there. You’ll often hear “maybe it’s the u-joints” as a solution offered for problems with a vehicle - but what are they, what do they do, and how do you know if yours is bad? Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA has the answers.

Smoke coming out of muffler

Diesel engines are known for their durability, but even the best engine has to be replaced every once in a while. At Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA, we want you to be aware of signs that your engine is about to call it quits.

Tires

Your tires are obviously important. However, it’s often underappreciated how much of a difference they make in the ride quality of your car, truck, or SUV, and what they can tell you about the condition of your vehicle. At Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA, we like to keep you well informed on what your vehicle is telling you, and how to keep it in good shape. Your tires have a lot to do with that.
