Engine trouble arrives in a few familiar ways: a puddle of oil under the truck, a temperature gauge that climbs on the way up to the Eisenhower Tunnel, white smoke at startup or a knock that gets louder with load. Each of those can point to a small repair or a large one, and the only way to know is to test.
Once testing confirms what has failed, we explain it plainly and price the realistic options: repairing the existing engine, or fitting a replacement. For an older vehicle we will also tell you honestly if the repair would cost more than it makes sense to spend.
We also find the reason the engine failed, so the same overheating or oil problem does not damage the repaired or replacement engine.
Signs of Engine Trouble
- Oil spots under the vehicle or a burning-oil smell
- The temperature gauge climbs on grades or in traffic
- White or blue smoke from the exhaust
- Knocking, ticking or rattling that changes with engine speed
- Coolant disappearing with no visible leak
- Loss of power or rough running under load

Head gasket repair
Heads removed, checked and resurfaced or replaced, then reassembled with new hardware.
Timing component service
Worn guides, tensioners and stretched timing parts found during diagnosis replaced.
Internal repair
Bearing, ring and valve work when the block is sound and the numbers make sense.
Engine replacement
A quality replacement engine installed with the mounts and hoses that should be renewed with it.
Cause correction
The original reason for the failure fixed so it does not happen again.

Engine Repair Questions
Is a head gasket repair worth it on an older vehicle?
It can be, if the head is not cracked and the rest of the engine and vehicle are in good shape. We test first, then give you the repair price alongside the value of the vehicle so you can decide with real figures.
What causes most engine failures?
Overheating and oil problems account for most of them: a failed cooling component, a long-ignored leak or oil changes stretched too far. That is why we look for the original cause before rebuilding or replacing anything.
