Engine & cooling repair

An engine that runs hot for a few miles can warp a cylinder head. We pressure-test the cooling system, check for combustion gases in the coolant and find leaks before they turn into a tow.

Leaks

Oil and coolant leaks rarely fix themselves. We clean the area, add dye if needed, and find the real source so the right gasket gets replaced.

Timing chains and belts

A stretched timing chain sets cam/crank correlation codes and rattles on startup. Timing belts have a replacement interval; missing it on an interference engine can bend valves.

Engine & Cooling System questions

Is it safe to drive an overheating vehicle?

No. Pull over, shut it off and let it cool. Driving on an overheating engine is how a thermostat repair turns into a head gasket.
