We know we should routinely replace the oil and wiper blades and other fluids. But have you heard of a PCV valve ? This little car part needs to be replaced regularly or it can cause some serious problems in your vehicle engine. Car Doc On The Island Fuel Injector Cleaning at Car Doc On The IslandPosted December 20, 2016 5:39 AMIn very simple terms, a fuel injector is a valve that squirts fuel into your vehicle engine. Your engine control computer tells the fuel injector how much fuel to deliver as well as the precise time it should be delivered. Of course this happens thousands of times a minute in every single fuel-injected vehicle driving down Venice roads. A few have recently introduced gas direct injection systems on some engines. They are now available at some FL dealerships. These systems inject the gas directly into the cylinders under very high pressure – many times the pressure of port injection systems. Although more complicated, direct injection technology promises greater power with improved fuel economy. FL motorists can expect to see more of it in the future. Your technician at Car Doc On The Island can perform a fuel system service for you in which the fuel injectors are cleaned so that they operate properly and deliver the right amount of fuel at the right time. Proper maintenance of your vehicle fuel system means that you will spend less on gas, enjoy strong performance and prevent repair bills down the road.

Call Car Doc On The Island at (941) 786-1595 for answers about your timing belt, or drop by our Venice, FL, service center on 419 South Tamiami Trail.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
Stacy was very polite and made time for my vehicle on very short notice. Andriy took his time to give my vehicle a thorough safety inspection while performing my oil change, to ensure there were no issues I was unaware of prior to my long drive back home. Desiree finalized everything at the service counter and I ensured her that I’d be returning the next time I’m in town. I’d highly recommend anyone in the city of venice or even Sarasota county to stop by the Car Doc for any services or repairs you may need. They’ll treat you like family even if you’re a first time customer!
