WHY ENGINES SOMETIMES BREAK
Sometimes engines just break. Whether it’s poor design, age, or poor maintenance, our gasoline and diesel engines need repairs, and eventually need replaced. Our shop invests in the special tools required to repair and replace the engines on the road today. In days of old, shops would rebuild engines in-house, meaning the mechanic would remove the engine, disassemble the engine completely, and then refurbish the engine block. The block houses the fast-moving internal parts such as the crankshaft, pistons, and the connecting rods. See this video.

REPLACING AN ENGINE
Modern engineering has led to internal engine clearances/tolerances being so incredibly tight, such as .0001” (that’s ten-thousandths of one inch), that the engine must be assembled in “clean” facilities which are dust controlled and more like laboratories. These practices must be adhered to in order to obtain the longevity designed into the engine. Sure, we could rebuild your engine, but would it last 150k miles like the first one?

We want you to have the best product, with the best warranty. This is why we install professionally re-manufactured engines which can come with 100k mile nationwide warranties. The technician removes the old engine assembly, disassembles the components mounted to the engine, then re-installs those components onto the new engine (long block). At this time the cooling system is also addressed to make certain it’s in tip-top shape, thus allowing the new engine to cool properly.
