Common Engine Issues
Timing chains
Timing chains are critical components that synchronise the movement of the engine’s internal parts. Over time, these chains can stretch or wear out, leading to timing issues that affect the engine’s performance. Regular inspection and timely replacement can prevent significant engine damage, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly.
Oil leaks
Oil leaks can stem from various sources, including worn seals, gaskets, or damaged components. Left unchecked, these leaks can lead to low oil levels, increased friction, and eventually severe engine damage. Early detection and repair of oil leaks are essential to maintaining your engine’s reliability and performance.
Head Gasket
The head gasket seals the engine’s combustion chambers, preventing oil and coolant from mixing. A blown head gasket can lead to overheating, loss of power, and potential engine failure. Prompt repairs are crucial to prevent further damage and maintain the engine’s integrity.
Mechanical failure
Mechanical failure encompasses a wide range of engine problems, from broken belts to seized pistons. These issues can leave your vehicle undriveable and may result from poor maintenance or unexpected component wear. Our expert team can diagnose and fix mechanical failures, getting your engine back to peak performance.
Engine noises
Unusual engine noises, such as knocking, ticking, or grinding, often signal underlying problems. These sounds can indicate anything from low oil pressure to serious mechanical issues. Identifying and addressing these noises early can prevent minor problems from escalating into costly repairs.
Engine not running well
If your engine is struggling to run smoothly, it could be due to a variety of factors, including faulty sensors, fuel delivery issues, or ignition problems. Poor engine performance affects your vehicle’s reliability and fuel efficiency. Our skilled technicians can diagnose the cause and restore your engine’s optimal performance.

Told them to replace my belt tensioner due to frequent squeaking after replacing my belt. They looked around and said, “nope, take the belt back and ask for a new one under warranty”.. Charged me $12, and after installing a new belt, turns out they were right.
