Engine Repair FAQS

How do I know if my engine needs reconditioning?

The most common signs that your engine needs to be rebuilt are indicators that there are serious mechanical or operational problems occurring. One of the most common noises is a ticking sound that could indicate timing or valve train issues.

Lots of smoke in your exhaust could mean that your engine is burning oil or coolant, which could indicate the need for costly rebuilding or replacement of the engine. A strong knocking in time with the RPMs could mean the main bearings are at the end of their life.

What are the signs of engine problems?

There are many signs of engine problems, the most common include:

    • Smoke in the exhaust
    • Ticking or knocking sounds
    • Constant overheating
    • “Check engine” light coming on
    • A sudden drop in fuel efficiency
    • Stalling or other performance drops during idle
    • Leaking oil
    • Excessive vibrations or engine noise

While many of these have more routine explanations or fixes, they may be signs of impending engine issues. Either way, you should make sure to have them looked at by a qualified mechanic.

How much does an engine cost to repair?

This is a question with many different answers. The bottom line is that engine repairs can cost anywhere from about $100 for a sensor replacement, to several thousand for an internal mechanical failure or rebuild. The cost can go as high as $3,000-$4,000 for more extensive or complicated fixes.

Remember, your engine is the beating heart of your vehicle, and heart surgery doesn’t come cheap. The service itself is often highly complex and can take a week or more to complete depending on what’s needed. This is why making sure to address problems before they grow is so important to your vehicle’s health. If you know what you need, explore our engine parts.
