Leaky or blown gaskets can spell big trouble for your engine. That’s why it’s important to address any problems with them as quickly as possible. Gaskets can fail when they become old and brittle, or if you don’t maintain the proper level of engine oil. The expert technicians at Mountain View Tire & Auto Service can diagnose and repair the problem and get you back on the road quickly.
Gaskets are small parts that play a big role, acting as seals between two mechanisms. They help maintain a consistent internal pressure while keeping debris out of your engine and ensuring oil and other fluids don’t leak.
