Engine Troubleshooting in Columbus, OH

Your vehicle’s engine is a complex system that requires expert analysis and repair when problems arise. From minor sensor malfunctions to major component failures, engine issues can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, power loss, or unexpected breakdowns. That’s why professional engine diagnostics are essential to detect and fix issues early, preventing costly repairs down the line.


One of the most common signs of engine trouble is the check engine light, but other indicators include rough idling, poor acceleration, increased exhaust smoke, or unusual noises. Many vehicle owners attempt to ignore minor symptoms, hoping they will resolve on their own—but this often leads to more expensive repairs. At Howiler Stroud Automotive, we take the guesswork out of engine problems with advanced diagnostic scanning and expert analysis, ensuring your car runs smoothly and efficiently.


We service all makes and models, performing in-depth checks on ECUs (engine control units), fuel injection systems, ignition coils, spark plugs, oxygen sensors, and more. Whether your car is running rough, losing power, or showing warning lights, our team provides fast, accurate diagnoses and reliable repairs backed by the Technet Nationwide Warranty.
