Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Parlin drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

Don’t you hate it when potholes sneak up on you? There is a lot of money being spent on vehicle damage due to potholes. Do you know what parts of your car could receive the most damage.

hole in 4x4 diesel truck tire

When your light comes on, it is ALWAYS important to look at the issue to see if it is a problem. Especially if it is a light we all understand. Tire pressure is one we all can relate to and an easy one to look at. However, most drivers just assume the air is low in them and ignore it which is not a good idea especially when you are driving a 4x4l truck off-roading and could have picked up anything and/or everything like this truck tire did.

He looked, and immediately headed over to see our technicians here at ECO Engines, Inc.

There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check. Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Parlin drivers. Did you know that brake service isn't just all about the brake pads, drums & rotors? That we have found low brake fluid to be the cause of a large percentage of brake issues here at ECO Engines, Inc? Seriously, brake fluid is an important part of your braking system and with your service intervals being less frequent on the newer vehicles 5,000-10,000 more miles this has become an issue! Why?...

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs!

I have been using Eco Engines for about a year now and I couldn't be happier. They were recommended to me from a few people at work. The one thing I would like to say is that I find them to be honest. I really needed someone I could trust and I have not been disappointed. Their prices are fair and they are always willing to work with you. I am extremely happy with all of the work I have had done there and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I brought my vehicle in for a check engine light on. The vehicle was not running right. I had it to another mechanic prior to bringing it to ECO and they told me I needed a new motor. ECO scanned it and it turns out I just had misfire. They replaced the coil and plug and now its running great! They saved me a ton of money! Thank you ECO for your honesty and professionalism.
