Why You Should Get GDI Service at Crowell Brothers Automotive Service

June 13, 2025

If your vehicle is equipped with a Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine, staying on top of maintenance is more important than ever. At Crowell Brothers Automotive Service, we’ve seen firsthand how GDI technology can improve performance—but also how quickly problems can develop without the right care.


What’s So Special About GDI?


GDI engines are designed to inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber, which allows for more power, better fuel efficiency, and lower emissions. But unlike traditional engines, GDI systems don’t let fuel wash over the intake valves - which means carbon deposits can build up fast.


Why Carbon Buildup Is a Big Deal


Over time, these carbon deposits can cause:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Poor fuel mileage
  • Rough idling or hesitation
  • Increased emissions
  • Long-term engine damage


It’s not a question of if carbon will build up—it’s when. And the longer it’s left untreated, the more damage it can do.


Our Solution: Professional GDI Service


At Crowell Brothers, we use top-tier equipment and cleaning agents to remove carbon buildup and restore your engine’s performance. Getting a GDI service every 15,000 - 30,000 miles can:


✅ Improve horsepower and throttle response

✅ Boost fuel economy

✅ Extend engine life

✅ Prevent expensive repairs


Don’t Wait for Trouble to Start


If your check engine light is on, your fuel economy has dropped, or your engine just doesn’t feel right—GDI service might be the fix. And even if everything seems fine, regular cleaning is the best way to keep it that way.

Call Crowell Brothers Automotive Service today at (360) 532-4840 to schedule your GDI service or ask us if it’s time.
