EGR Solutions at CabCo Garage

Restore Your Engine’s Performance with Professional EGR Services

Owning a car is one thing; keeping it running smoothly is another. While regular maintenance like oil changes is essential, one system that often gets overlooked is the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. The EGR system helps control emissions and maintain engine efficiency, but over time, carbon build-up can cause problems leading to power loss, poor fuel economy, and increased emissions.

 

At CabCo Garage, our technicians use advanced tools to clean, repair, and replace faulty EGR components, helping your engine perform better and last much longer.

What do EGR systems do?

Engines burn fuel to generate power, but this process also produces exhaust gases. Some of these gases, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx), are harmful to the environment.

A vehicle’s exhaust system does more than just expel these gases—it also helps control emissions and influences engine performance. This is where the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system comes in.

​

The EGR system is designed to reduce NOx emissions efficiently and cost-effectively. It works by capturing a portion of exhaust gases and reintroducing them into the engine’s air intake. This lowers the combustion temperature, which in turn reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides while improving fuel efficiency. Keeping your EGR system in good condition is essential for maintaining engine performance and ensuring compliance with emissions standards.

EGR Cleaning – Prevent Buildup and Restore Performance

Over time, carbon deposits build up in the EGR system, restricting airflow and causing poor performance. Our professional EGR cleaning service removes carbon buildup, improving exhaust flow and restoring engine efficiency.

Why is EGR Cleaning Important? 

A clogged EGR valve can disrupt airflow, causing power loss, rough idling, and increased fuel consumption. Regular EGR cleaning ensures:

  • Better fuel efficiency by improving air/fuel mixture

  • Lower emissions to comply with environmental regulations

  • Extended engine life by preventing excessive carbon buildup

  • Smoother performance with restored power and responsiveness

When should I clean my EGR?

EGR cleaning is recommended when you notice:

  • Loss of power or sluggish acceleration

  • Higher fuel consumption without explanation

  • Rough idling or excessive exhaust smoke

  • Check engine light triggered by EGR issues

EGR Repair and Maintenance

With regular maintenance, an EGR valve can last up to ten years, but carbon buildup and faulty components can cause serious performance issues long before that. Keeping your EGR system in good condition is essential for maintaining fuel efficiency, engine power, and emissions compliance.

​

At CabCo Garage, our experienced technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostics and repair techniques to inspect, clean, and restore your EGR system. Whether it’s carbon buildup, a malfunctioning valve, or a failing cooler, we provide the right solution to keep your engine running at its best.

How do you know if an EGR is faulty?

A failing EGR system can lead to noticeable performance issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it may be time for an inspection:

  • Strong fuel smells or exhaust fumes from under the hood

  • Check engine light caused by an EGR fault code

  • Loss of power or sluggish acceleration

  • Excessive smoke from the exhaust

  • Rough idling or increased fuel consumption

 

The good news is that in many cases, an EGR system does not need to be replaced. A thorough repair and cleaning can restore it to like-new condition. However, if the valve or cooler is beyond repair, we also offer EGR replacement services to ensure your vehicle stays efficient and compliant with emissions regulations.

EGR Valve Replacement
A long-term fix for persistent issues

Sometimes, cleaning or repairing an EGR valve is not enough. If the valve is severely clogged, stuck, or completely malfunctioning, a full EGR replacement is the best solution to restore engine efficiency and prevent long-term damage.

What Is EGR Replacement?

EGR replacement involves removing the old, faulty EGR valve and installing a new, high-quality component that ensures proper exhaust gas recirculation. This process helps:

  • Restore optimal engine performance

  • Improve fuel efficiency

  • Reduce emissions and ensure compliance with environmental regulations

  • Prevent costly engine damage caused by a failing EGR system

How do I know if my EGR valve needs replacing?

If your EGR system is beyond repair, you may notice these warning signs:

  • Repeated engine warning lights even after cleaning or repair

  • Poor fuel economy despite recent maintenance

  • Loss of power or sluggish acceleration

  • Black smoke from the exhaust, indicating improper combustion

  • A stuck-open or stuck-closed EGR valve, causing rough idling or overheating


If these symptoms persist, your EGR valve is likely beyond repair and needs replacement. At CabCo Garage, we use high-quality replacement parts and advanced diagnostic tools to ensure a precise fit and long-lasting performance.
