Clean-Burn Fuel Service
The Chemistry of the Algonquin Drive
Fuel is not a "clean" substance. Over time, particularly with the seasonal changes in Illinois fuel blends, carbon deposits and varnish build up inside your engine. Our humid "steamy" summers can also introduce moisture into the system, leading to a "lean" condition that makes your engine run hot and sluggishly.
If you’ve noticed a drop in your MPG while driving between Algonquin and the city, or if your acceleration feels "flat" when you merge onto IL-62, your fuel system is likely crying for help. At Queens Auto Service, we use professional-grade cleaning systems to "scrub" your engine from the inside out.
The Queens Detail: Deep-Clean Restoration
Because we obsess over the details, our fuel service goes far beyond a "bottle in the tank":
- Professional Injector Purge: We use specialized equipment to run a concentrated cleaning agent directly through your fuel rail. This dissolves the "baked-on" deposits that cause poor spray patterns and rough idling.
- Intake Valve Decarbonization: On modern "direct-injection" engines, carbon buildup on the intake valves is a major performance killer. We perform a technical cleaning to restore the airflow your engine needs to breathe.
- Throttle Body Degumming: We clean the "gum" and varnish from your throttle plate, ensuring your accelerator feels snappy and responsive rather than "sticky" or delayed.
- Fuel Trim Verification: After the cleaning, we verify your car’s computer has adjusted its "fuel trims," confirming that the system is running at peak efficiency once again.
Why Clean the Fuel System?
Ignoring a dirty fuel system leads to clogged catalytic converters and failing fuel pumps - repairs that cost thousands. A proactive clean-burn service every 30,000 miles is the key to keeping your Algonquin commuter car running like a well-oiled machine.
We feel what you feel - the frustration of paying more at the pump while getting less performance out of your car. It’s a double hit to your wallet.
At Queens, we’re here to help you win that battle. We’re local experts who know exactly what "suburban driving" does to a fuel system. We’re going to get those injectors cleaned, that intake scrubbed, and your gas mileage back to where it should be. We treat your vehicle with the same care we’d give our own. Come see us at 2401 E Algonquin Rd, and let's get that performance back. That’s the Queens promise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our Fuel System Service? Here are some common queries from our customers.
01 Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
Appointments are recommended, especially for mechanical work and diagnostics, to help us get you in faster. However, we do accept walk-ins whenever our schedule allows.
02 How long will my service take?
Basics like tire installation and alignments are often completed the same day. For diagnostics or larger repairs, we'll give you a clear time estimate before we start any work.
03 Do you provide a quote before starting?
Absolutely. We never perform repairs without your approval. We'll explain what's needed, why it's needed, and exactly what it costs—no surprises.
04 Can I bring my own parts or tires?
In some cases, yes, but we highly recommend using the parts we supply. Our parts are specifically matched to your vehicle and come with our full warranty and testing.
05 Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes. Most repairs and parts come with a warranty. We'll explain your specific coverage clearly before the work begins so you have total peace of mind.
06 How do I know if I really need the recommended repair?
We believe in education, not pressure. We’ll show you what we found, explain the risks of waiting, and let you decide. If a repair can wait, we’ll tell you.
07 Is labor taxable?
No. In Illinois, labor is not taxable—only parts and goods are. Your invoice will always clearly reflect this according to state law.
08 Why choose Queens Auto instead of a dealership?
You get dealership-level expertise and equipment, but with honest communication, fair pricing, and zero high-pressure sales tactics.
