Engine Diagnostics & Repair in Hoover, AL
Because Without an Engine, You’re Not Going Anywhere
Your engine is the heart of your vehicle — and when something feels off, it’s crucial to get it checked out fast. At Hoover Automotive, we offer expert engine diagnostics and repairs to get you back on the road quickly and safely.
Whether your engine is idling rough, jerking during acceleration, or making strange noises, we’ll help you get to the bottom of it. While we totally understand wanting answers right away, diagnosing engine issues over the phone just isn’t accurate — there could be multiple overlapping causes. That’s why we always recommend bringing your vehicle into our shop near Hwy 31 & Valleydale Road in Hoover, AL for a proper diagnostic.
Once we’ve pinpointed the issue, we’ll walk you through the problem, your options, and provide a clear, honest estimate before we do any repairs.
Common Engine Repairs We Perform
Fuel Injector Repair & Replacement
Today’s vehicles rely on fuel injectors (not carburetors) to deliver fuel precisely and efficiently. A failing fuel injector can cause:
-
Poor engine performance
-
Reduced fuel economy
-
Increased emissions
-
Long-term engine damage
Our team can test, clean, or replace fuel injectors to restore optimal engine function and performance.
Ignition System Repairs (Wires, Coils, & More)
Your engine’s ignition system sparks the fuel-air mixture that powers your car. Faulty ignition cables, spark plug wires, or coils can lead to:
-
Misfiring or vibrating engine
-
Poor gas mileage
-
Check Engine light
-
Difficulty starting or stalling
Over time, ignition components wear down — and when they do, it can leave you stranded. If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, let us inspect your ignition system and make the needed repairs quickly and affordably.
Other Engine Diagnostics & Repairs We Offer
-
Check engine light diagnostics
-
Engine misfire troubleshooting
-
Idle and throttle issues
-
Timing and sensor repairs
-
Performance issues related to airflow, fuel mix, or compression

At last, an honest repair shop… I recently took my car to their shop on a friend’s recommendation after I swiped a curb with my tire and took a chunk out of it. I went in with the full expectation of getting a new set of tires. After showing the damage to them, they stated that I didn’t need new tires yet and that I should just monitor it in case it gets worse. How many shops do you know of that do the right thing, even if it means not getting a sale? I won’t be taking any more chances at other places since I know I’ll be taken care of at Hoover Automotive.
Patrick R.Excellent service…they always go the extra mile. I was referred to Hoover Auto and have been using them ever since. They are the only place I go for any auto work because they always go the extra mile as far as service. The technicians are great and they fix the problem the first time. I absolutely recommend Hoover Auto.
Irene T.A mechanic I can trust 100% Hoover Auto goes above and beyond on customer service, and they get the job done right. Most importantly, I know that I’m always given a good price, and if they recommend something needs fixing, it’s because it DOES, not because they’re “upselling” me. It’s so comforting to know that the value, quality, and honest service is there whenever I need it! Thanks guys!!!
Jacki S.Good, trustworthy mechanic, the best I have seen. Hoover Auto has done both maintenance and repair work for me on 2 different cars in the last couple of years. They are the real deal. Their honesty is the main reason I continue to use them, as well as their know-how and ability to fix things. They have good, trustworthy mechanics, the best I have seen.
