Fast, Lasting Engine Repairs and Restoration
Engine rebuilding isn't for amateurs. Engines are precisely built, complex machines made of many moving parts. Unlike car service centers specializing in oil changes, batteries, and brake jobs, our ASE-certified auto mechanics perform complex repairs. We have the tools and experience to perform professional engine overhauls and fix any associated components impacting performance and operation, including:
- Cracked engine blocks
- Blown cylinder heads
- Worn cam and crankshafts
- Damaged valves, rods, pistons, and bearings
- Core or freeze plug failure
- Engine gaskets and seals
- Worn timing belts and chains
- Ignition system issues
- Bad sensors and control modules
- Fuel and oil pump issues
- Transmission repair and maintenance
- And more
No matter what engine repair service you need, our friendly technicians will always take the time to explain what's wrong with your motor, so you understand the services required to restore your vehicle to prime operating condition.
Engine Replacement
Engine replacement isn't just something that happens on classic car restoration shows. For new or late-model engines damaged beyond repair, our local engine repair shop offers rebuilt used engines and new crate engines, depending on availability, to restore your vehicle.
Protect Your Engine with Regular Engine Maintenance
After professional engine rebuilding, preventive maintenance is crucial to maintain peak performance and fuel efficiency and ensure lasting use. Immediately address check engine lights before repair issues snowball. Prevent unnecessary wear with regular oil and filter changes. Perform manufacturer-recommended maintenance on schedule, including air and fuel filter changes, drive belt and chain replacement, and transmission and cooling system maintenance. In diesel engines, use recommended fuel additives and drain water separators and filters regularly.
