About this repair

Many engine problems come from a single worn or failed part, not from a dead engine: a leaking gasket, a stuck valve, a failing sensor, a tired timing component. We trace the symptom to its cause, show you what we found and repair that, so you only replace the engine when it truly cannot be saved.

Signs you need it

  • Rough idle, misfire or hesitation
  • Oil leaks, or a burning oil smell
  • Loss of power or poor fuel economy
  • New ticking, rattling or knocking noises

Don't replace it. Repair it.

Before you replace the engine

A replacement is the most expensive answer, and not always the only one. A leaking gasket, a failed sensor, a worn timing part or a single damaged cylinder can look like a dead engine. We find the real cause first.

Common questions

Can an engine with a bad noise still be repaired?

Often, yes. A noise can come from an accessory, a lifter, a loose part or a worn bearing, and the cause decides the answer. We find the source before recommending anything.

Will you tell me if it really needs replacing?

Yes. If the damage is too deep to repair sensibly, we say so and explain the options, so the decision is yours with the facts in front of you.
