Gates Repair & Machine

Engine and Exhaust System

Engine Repair
Check your tires for proper inflation. Under inflation wastes fuel-your engine has to work harder to push the vehicle. Wheels that are out-of-line (as evidenced by uneven tread wear or vehicle pulling) make the engine work harder, too. Properly maintained tires will last longer, meaning fewer scrap tires have to be disposed.
Oil Change
For best results, have the entire brake system - including brake linings - inspected at every other oil change.

Engine Services
Engine maintenance is vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performance. It also impacts the longevity of your vehicle's engine. Trust the experts at Gates Repair & Machine to help you protect your investment. Call us at 217-335-2378 or visit our shop in Barry 62312.
Engine Replacement
After years of use, your car's engine inevitably deteriorates. If you car needs a new engine and you are not ready to invest in a new car, consider having the engine rebuilt. This involves replacing or resurfacing all the rundown parts in an engine. Regardless of your engine replacement needs, Gates Repair & Machine has experienced engine rebuilders ready to assist you.
Engine Diagnostic
We perform scheduled services for domestic vehicles, and provide complete repair services including tires, alignments, brakes, front ends, rear ends, transmissions, diagnostic services, engine diagnostics and repairs, electronics service and repair. We have factory level diagnostic equipment and trained technicians.
Spark Plug Replacement
At Gates Repair & Machine we recommend replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark. Many car owners delay spark plug replacement until the engine starts "missing." An engine that is "missing" will typically result in a jerking feeling when accelerating. Spark plugs that are severely worn out will create a pinging or knocking sound. These fouled, worn-out spark plugs can lead to extensive engine damage that is expensive to fix. Therefore, replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark is very important.
Emissions Inspection
Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
Fuel Injection Service/Repair
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 217-335-2378 or visit Gates Repair & Machine today.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Transmission Service
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 134 Smith St for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.
Transmission Repair
From manual to automatic transmission repair, Gates Repair & Machine in Barry, IL 62312 knows how to fix the problem. Our knowledgeable auto experts will diagnose the situation and help you make a decision. Leave the dirty work to us!
Transmission Fluid Service
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 217-335-2378 or visit Gates Repair & Machine today - we are transmission experts.
Transmission Replacement
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and torque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Gates Repair & Machine in Barry, IL. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.
Clutch Service/Repair
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Gates Repair & Machine to see if clutch replacement is necessary.
Differential Service/Repair
Axle Repair

Steering and Suspension

Suspension Service/Repair
Many newer cars are lubed-for-life, some still require this service. Replacement steering and suspension components require periodic lubrication.
Steering Service/Repair
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Gates Repair & Machine.
Steering Fluid Service

Heating and Cooling

Air Conditioning Service/Repair
If your car's air conditioning system is not keeping you cool don't let the hot weather make you miserable. Get back to cruising in comfort. Bring your car or truck by Gates Repair & Machine in Barry and we'll get your AC working again. Call now at 217-335-2378 or stop by the shop at 134 Smith St, Barry, IL, 62312
Radiator Service/Repair
Radiator Flush
A car's coolant system transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 217-335-2378 or visit Gates Repair & Machine in Barry, IL 62312 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs.
Air Filter Replacement
As cars get older, they need more maintenance and repair. Drivers in Barry must be more diligent about preventative maintenance. Replacing a bad O2 Sensor costs $250.00 on average. This may increase or decrease based on the make and model of your car or truck. However, performing recommended auto maintenance such as air filter replacement and spark plug replacement can extend the life of your O2 sensor.
Air Conditioning Recharge
Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in Barry are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call 217-335-2378 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 134 Smith St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system.
