How we handle it.
We do the bigger engine jobs here: timing belts and chains, head gaskets, oil leaks and major engine work. A Toyota came in with a check engine light and a rattle from the front. The timing chains had stretched, so we took the engine apart and replaced them.
Oil leaks are one of the most common engine repairs we see. Many leaks look like they come from one place and start somewhere else, so we find the source before we quote. We even had a Subaru Forester that barely got driven come in running rough with a major oil leak. Cars that sit can leak too.
You’ll know the cause and the cost before work begins. Repairs carry a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty, and our labor is guaranteed for life.
