Engine Repair
Diagnosis and repair for performance problems, leaks, overheating, belts and hoses.

Our technicians handle engine repair work beyond routine maintenance, on all makes and models.

What should I do if my engine overheats?
Pull over safely and turn off the engine. Don’t open the radiator cap while the engine is hot. Have the vehicle towed or call us for advice before driving further.
Do you repair belts and hoses?
Yes. Belts and hoses wear with age and heat. We inspect them during service and replace them when they show cracking, glazing, leaks or softness.
Is an oil leak serious?
Even a small leak should be checked. Leaks can lower the oil level, damage other components and, in some cases, create a fire risk.
