Dealer said wait for a code. We scoped it — Lake Park Audi choked with carbon. 🔍

Palm Beach Florida heat + stop-and-go on US-1 bakes carbon onto your intake. Rough idle, lazy throttle — no warning light yet.

dirty → blasting → clean. Induction / walnut blasting — no full overhaul.

⚠️ LOW OIL PRESSURE — BUT THAT WASN’T THE REAL PROBLEM.

This 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3L came into the shop with a complaint of low engine oil pressure.

After a complete diagnosis, we traced the problem back to a major engine oil leak. The engine had been operating with an extremely low oil level, which resulted in inadequate lubrication and internal wear.

🔧 Our inspection found damage affecting:
• Engine oil pump
• Oil pressure switch/sensor
• Camshaft
• Lifters

At this point, simply replacing the oil pressure sensor or adding oil wasn’t going to solve the problem. The damaged components had to be addressed to restore proper lubrication and get the engine operating correctly again.

This is why oil leaks should never be ignored. What starts as a leak can eventually become a much larger—and much more expensive—engine repair.

Think your transmission needs to be replaced? Think again.

A hard shift or delayed gear engagement doesn’t always mean you need a complete transmission.

In this European vehicle, we performed a proper diagnosis before recommending repairs. The issue was in the transmission valve body and its electronic solenoids—not necessarily the entire transmission.

At ARS Auto Repair Service, we believe in diagnosing the problem first and recommending only the repairs your vehicle actually needs.

If you own a European vehicle in Palm Beach County and your transmission isn’t shifting the way it should, have it inspected before authorizing a replacement.

The best way to avoid unexpected repairs is to never wait for something to go wrong.

One of our longtime clients brought in her 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 for its scheduled maintenance before the school season begins.

As a mom of three boys, she knows her SUV has to be dependable every single day. Between school drop-offs, sports, errands, and family life, the last thing she wants is an unexpected breakdown.

That’s why we performed a comprehensive 100-point inspection designed specifically for European vehicles.

Our inspection included:
✔ Engine
✔ Cooling system
✔ Battery
✔ Transmission
✔ Suspension
✔ Brake system
✔ Tires
✔ Air conditioning
✔ Underbody leak inspection
✔ Final road test

At ARS Auto Repair Service, we don’t believe in simply changing the oil and sending you on your way. We believe every service visit is an opportunity to inspect the entire vehicle and identify small concerns before they become expensive repairs.

A little prevention today can save you thousands tomorrow—and give you confidence that your family is driving a vehicle that’s ready for whatever the school year brings.

I see this look on people's faces every single day when they pull into our shop, looking for
someone who actually knows their way around a European engine without it costing them their entire summer holiday fund.
You are squinting at a four-figure repair estimate in a dealership waiting room, trying to hide
your face while sipping a cup of lukewarm, bitter coffee from a plastic cup.
You are checking the driveway for fresh oil patches every single time you pull the car out to go
shopping, just in case that tiny leak has turned into something more expensive.
You are scrolling through confusing internet forum posts at midnight, trying to figure out why the convertible roof is stuck while your mobile light dies.
You are leaving your keys in a greasy metal drop-box at a garage you don't really know, feeling like you are abandoning your best friend to a stranger.
You are feeling your face get hot when a mechanic starts throwing around technical terms about gaskets and ventilation to justify a price that feels made up on the spot.
I know that feeling of just wanting to trust the person under the hood as much as you love the car in your driveway.

After years of specialised workmanship on these engines, my technicians and I have seen too
many owners pay for the same valve cover gasket repair twice in six months because the real
culprit was ignored.
When the PCV system, or positive crankcase ventilation, stops circulating gases properly, it
creates pressure that forces oil out of the weakest point, which is almost always your gasket.
If you are tired of checking the driveway for fresh oil patches every time you head to the shops,
follow this checklist before you approve another repair:
1. Ask your mechanic to test the crankcase system.
2. Inspect the integrated PCV valve built directly into the plastic valve cover for cracks or carbon
buildup.
3. Replace the entire valve cover assembly, not just the rubber gasket,if the integrated PCV
Valve has failed. Proper diagnostic will confirm excessive crankcase vacuum or pressure.
4. Clean all breather hoses to ensure no sludge is blocking the internal airflow.
It is much better to do the job properly once than to keep pouring fresh oil and money into a
problem that is only going to reappear
when the July heat hits.
