By providing you with an accurate diagnosis of your engine’s condition can save you $1000s.  This is because some of the symptoms may get misdiagnosed, by a less experienced auto repair shop.  This could lead to an unneeded engine replacement.  It’s rare, but it does happen in our industry.

Because we employ experienced and very well qualified ASE Master and Certified Technicians, we have what you need to get the diagnosis right.

Complete Engine Replacement or a Rebuilt Engine?

Unfortunately, sometimes an engine does need to be replaced or rebuilt.  At The Maintenance Shop, we can handle both of these services.  The best way to find out which is better for your particular situation is to ask our service advisor.  This way you get very specific and custom answers for you.  However, here are some general thoughts about engine work.

New or used replacement engines are also an alternative that you may explore too.  The new engine option is often more expensive than a rebuilt one, but it is the genuine engine replacement from the manufacturer.  We can price this out for you and give you many options to make sure you make the best decision for your particular situation.
