ENG-RB · Engine Repair & Rebuilds
Big engine job? We do those here.
When an engine needs real work, you shouldn't have to hear "just replace it" by default. We test to find out what failed and how far the damage goes, then lay out your options: repair, rebuild or replace, with honest numbers for each. Big jobs are done right here in the shop, and we text you photos as we go.

Engine Repair & Rebuilds FAQ
Q01Is it worth rebuilding my engine, or should I replace the car?
It depends on the rest of the car. If the body, transmission and suspension are solid, a rebuild often costs far less than a new car payment. We’ll give you an honest take either way.
Q02What happens if you find more damage once the engine is apart?
We stop and call you. You get photos and an updated quote, and nothing more gets done until you approve it.
