For specific questions, please feel free to give us a call and speak with one of our ASE certified mechanics and Master Technicians about the best rebuilding or repair options for your vehicle in particular.

Repair Original Engine

Engine repair refers to repairing or replacing only the specific components which are causing the current problem. This does not necessarily include completely disassembling and cleaning all components, or replacing all of the parts. This is usually the most affordable and best option to solve minor or component-specific problems such as repairing a cracked head gasket. A blown head gasket is a good example of when your car or truck requires major engine repair, but not necessarily a complete engine overhaul. Repairing only specific components may not, however, ensure that you don’t run into different engine problems down the road. When considering engine repair, it is best to have a thorough engine inspection and take into account the overall condition of the engine, including the components which are still currently functioning.

Engine Replacement

If your engine is not worth rebuilding, replacing the engine may be the best option for you. Replacing the engine will add more years to the life of your vehicle and turn a once problematic automobile into a reliable one. Also, replacing the engine saves you money on smaller repairs that would of been needed along the way such as belts, filters, hoses, and coolant. Our #1 priority is to give you the best options available for getting your vehicle back on the road in reliable condition.
Whether you choose to repair, rebuild or replace your engine, Automotive Diagnostic Specialties is here to make your auto shop visit as quick and painless as possible. We offer engine repair, replacement, and rebuilding for late model imports or newer domestic vehicles.



Rebuild Original Engine

Engine rebuilding (or an engine overhaul) is done in local automotive repair shops and requires expert diagnostic skills, precision, and a deep understanding of the vehicle’s theory of operation. This relies heavily on the experience, training, and skill level of the auto mechanic performing the rebuilding. The quality of parts used also carries a great deal of importance. For this reason, it is always best to check a local repair shop’s reviews and credentials before deciding on the best auto repair shop to trust with rebuilding your engine. When comparing engine rebuild cost estimates, be sure to ask what hard parts the quote includes. For example, Sacred Automotive engine rebuilds replace all soft parts and most hard parts including timing belt or chain replacements.
