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.

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
