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 Long Hill Auto Service 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 908-647-7984 or visit Long Hill Auto Service 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 Long Hill Auto Service 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 Long Hill Auto Service in Millington, NJ 07946. 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 Long Hill Auto Service in Millington, NJ 07946.
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 Long Hill Auto Service, we have automotive experts who will check and replace your spark plugs. For all your spark plug repair or replacement needs, call 908-647-7984 or visit Long Hill Auto Service today.

Reviews
I have used Long Hill Auto for over 35 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Owner Bob Arlotta genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his business. There is no forcing of repairs, just cautionary suggestions based on assessment of your vehicle. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be aware that something needs to be done before rather than find out the hard way after. If you care about the safety of yourself/your passengers, want an honest assessment of your vehicle, AND the best maintenance and repairs, go to Long Hill Auto. You won't regret it! C H, 05/05/2023 |
This is the place to take your car when an issue arises. Expert staff, very friendly, great prices, and high-quality work. It's no surprise they have been there 30+ years. I think I found a new auto repair shop! Ashok Chitturi, 04/26/2023 |
Many thanks to Bob and his staff for rescuing us without an appointment and fixing our air conditioner on a hot Saturday afternoon. They are accommodating, kind, professional and prompt. The shop is notably clean and orderly. First rate business! Lou Guill, 05/22/2022 |
