Parts PlugExcellentParts Plug4.9Based on 200 reviews fromSee all reviewsreview us onSayed Arif Samim★★★★★I was chatting with them via Marketplace. Eventually, I came in for my first oil change service, and my next appointment is this coming Friday. I was extremely happy with the experience—despite being busy and me not having an appointment, they still checked the suspension and changed the oil. Excellent customer service!Sutharsan Sri★★★★★I’ve been bringing my cars here for the past few years, and the experience has consistently been top-notch. The customer service is excellent—friendly, professional, and attentive. The team is knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cares about getting you the right parts at a fair price. They’re incredibly thorough with their inspections and have always been able to accurately diagnose and resolve any issues. The only downside is that they’re getting busier as more people discover their outstanding service, but it’s a testament to how good they really are.Sarah Oluwatuyi★★★★★I had a great experience at this mechanic shop. My car battery was giving me trouble, so I stopped by for help. Amar was incredibly attentive, explained my options clearly, and made sure I fully understood everything. He quickly ordered a replacement battery, and the service was completed swiftly—within about 30 minutes. The whole process was efficient and professional, and I left completely satisfied. I highly recommend this shop for reliable and friendly car service!Rafi Fadle Aziz★★★★★I recently had my exhaust installed at this shop, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The team was excellent, maintaining open and honest communication throughout the service. I had several questions, and they patiently answered each one without any hint of annoyance. Their transparency and willingness to accommodate my requests made me feel very comfortable.

A special shoutout to Gagandeep for his outstanding service and friendly personality. After a less-than-stellar experience at a performance shop in Pickering, I was hesitant to try again, but this shop has truly restored my faith. I’m thrilled to have found such a reliable performance shop in the Durham region. I will definitely return for future auto work and look forward to building a lasting relationship with this fantastic team!

It takes me 20 minutes to drive there each time but it’s worth the drive!Colton Whiteman★★★★★Nick, Omar, and the rest of the crew are all amazing. I had them replace my clutch to a brand new one on my 06 RSX. The process went very smooth, and they provided detailed answers to all my questions, and stayed communicative throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend for all needs!Nikhil Baveja★★★★★Best mechanic in Durham region with reasonable prices for your German cars. Got all fluid change from them. All good.samay ganhar★★★★★Highly recommend for great customer service and competitive pricing. They went out of way to take off dent on the front bumper of my car and they didn’t charge extra for it. Quite obvious to me that they want to win customer hearts not just money!!Matt S★★★★★Rarity these days to find honest shops who concurrently provide exceptional work. That is the case for Parts Plug. Worry and hassle free. Will be using them again as well as referring anyone who needs work done.Ian Akam★★★★★I brought in my 2013 Audi with 230K on the odometer. They listened to my concerns, and were happy to explain my options to me. They kept to their schedule and did the job (quite a big one) in record time. They even had me come back in 2 wks to ensure all was still well. They did a great job at a great price and were a pleasure to work with. Thank you Parts Plug team!Judy Pomeroy★★★★★Customer service is alive and well at this auto shop. I stopped to get help last week with small problem. They helped me and when it came time to pay they shocked me by saying no charge. WOW! It wasn’t a huge job but I expected a bill and I’m sure I’d have been charged at most, if not all other shops. I will definitely be back they have gained my trust.
Thanks Again for your much needed help.

Why Get Your Valves Cleaned?

Performing an intake valve carbon cleaning can offer several advantages, particularly for modern engines with direct fuel injection (DI). Here are some key benefits:

1. Improved Engine Performance: Carbon buildup on intake valves can restrict airflow into the combustion chamber, leading to reduced engine performance. Cleaning the intake valves helps restore optimal airflow and can enhance engine responsiveness and acceleration.

2. Increased Fuel Efficiency: A clean intake system allows for better air-fuel mixture formation, which can improve fuel combustion and efficiency. This often translates to better fuel economy and fewer trips to the gas station.

3. Reduced Emissions: Carbon deposits can affect combustion efficiency, leading to incomplete burning of fuel and increased emissions. Cleaning the intake valves helps ensure a more complete burn, which can reduce harmful emissions and help your vehicle meet environmental standards.

4. Smoother Engine Operation: Carbon buildup can cause rough idling, engine knocking, or misfires. Removing these deposits helps the engine run more smoothly and quietly, enhancing overall driving comfort.

5. Prevention of Engine Damage: Over time, excessive carbon buildup can lead to engine damage or increased wear on components. Regular cleaning helps prevent this buildup, potentially extending the life of the engine and its parts.

6. Improved Throttle Response: Carbon deposits can cause sticky or sluggish throttle response. Cleaning the intake valves can help restore a more immediate and predictable throttle response.

7. Better Starting Performance: If carbon buildup has been affecting the engine’s ability to start smoothly, cleaning the intake valves can improve cold starts and overall starting performance.

8. Maintenance of Warranty: For some vehicles, regular maintenance including intake valve cleaning can be important for maintaining manufacturer warranties. It’s always a good idea to check the vehicle’s service recommendations and warranty requirements.

Regular intake valve cleaning can be a valuable part of your vehicle’s maintenance routine, especially if you notice symptoms of carbon buildup.
