Check Engine Light
No one likes to see their car's "Check Engine" light come on. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. At Landmark Auto Group, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 703-751-6000 or stop by the shop for our expert assistance.
Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:
- Changing the oil & filter
- Changing the air filter
- Changing the fuel filter
- Bleeding the fuel system
- Draining the water separators
- Refilling the urea injection system
You can count on the experts at Landmark Auto Group to help your diesel engine last a long time.
Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 703-751-6000 or visit Landmark Auto Group today.
Ignition
An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car. For all your ignition system maintenance and replacement needs, call or visit Landmark Auto Group today.
Ignition Wires & Cables
Ignition cables also known as spark plug wires are an important part of your car's ignition system. They transfer the spark from the ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the mixture of fuel and air. The mixture starts the engine. Over time, ignition wires and cables get weak and break down. This makes it impossible for the spark to reach the engine cylinders. This results in the engine misfiring. The car will eventually fail to start. If it does start, it will run poorly. Common symptoms of faulty ignition cables and wires are: poor gas mileage, engine misfires, engine light is on, and engine may vibrate. If your car needs new ignition cables and wires, call or visit Landmark Auto Group in Alexandria, VA 22304. Here, you will have the wires and cables changed by a top-rated mechanic.
Oil, Lube, and Filter
To keep running smoothly, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every three months (or 3,000 miles). When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to Landmark Auto Group in Alexandria, VA 22304.
Spark Plugs
A spark plug delivers electric current to the combustion chamber from the ignition system. Spark plugs that haven't been changed for a long time can cause ignition problems. At Landmark Auto Group, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 703-751-6000 or visit Landmark Auto Group today.

Reviews
A godsend. Had a large screw - washer & all - stuck in my driver's side front tire. Called assuming I would have to schedule an appt & was told I could come by same day (I was about 15-20 min. away in Kingstowne). When I asked how long a plug would take (had young son with me) I was told 15 mins. The gentleman was not lying! The tire was repaired very quickly. Another gentleman, Max, was so courteous and kind with my son while we waited (even showed him how the car lift works). Will be taking both my husband's car & mine here for any needed work in the future. Very affordable. Amanda D, 02/01/2023 |
Chris and the team was absolutely great, great customer service great hospitality and great communication skills all around. Put my request in the night before and Chris got back to me the next day and was able to look at the car and get it fixed for me to head back to Hampton VA. Great service great staff definitely will come back and get my car service next time I'm back. Jayno Howie, 12/30/2022 |
