What this service is

Engine work covers everything from a misfire that's been haunting you for two months to a full replacement on a truck you're not ready to give up on. We diagnose first — too many shops quote major work before they've actually identified the problem. If it's a sensor, you don't need a $4,000 job.

What's involved

  1. Full scan of OBD-II codes plus a manual diagnostic read
  2. Compression and leakdown test if symptoms point to internal wear
  3. Honest call: repair or replace — with the math behind it
  4. Sourcing parts from your preferred supplier or our trusted partners
  5. Test drive and re-scan before you pick it up
