Engine Repair
Rough running, leaking, overheating or making a noise it didn't make last month. We find the cause first and then talk to you about what it's worth fixing.
Bring it in when
- The engine shakes, stumbles or hesitates when you accelerate
- Check engine light is on or flashing
- Puddles or spots under where you park
- Temperature gauge climbing, or steam from the hood
- Knocking, ticking or a squeal from under the hood
- It's burning oil or coolant between changes
What we handle
- Misfire, rough idle and drivability repair
- Oil, coolant and vacuum leak repair
- Cooling system, radiator, water pump and thermostat work
- Timing belt and chain service, belts, tensioners and pulleys
- Sensors, ignition coils, plugs and fuel delivery
- Gasket and seal replacement
Straight talk
Engine work is where estimates go sideways, so we don't guess. We diagnose, then we call you with a number and what it buys you — before anything comes apart.
And if the repair costs more than the car is worth to you, we'll say that out loud. That conversation has happened plenty of times in 40 years here.
Tell us what it's doing
Describe the problem in your own words. You don't need to know the part name — that's our job. -16 years in, we've probably heard it before.
