Service

The engine is the heart of your vehicle, and its health is paramount. We provide comprehensive engine repair maintenances, from addressing minor oil leaks and replacing timing belts to performing major overhauls and engine replacements. Our mechanics are skilled in working on both classic carbureted engines and modern computer-controlled powerplants. We use precision measuring tools and follow manufacturer procedures to ensure every repair meets exacting standards. Trust our Novato shop with your most valuable automotive asset.

A failed timing component can cause catastrophic engine damage. We recommend proactive replacement based on your vehicle's mileage and care schedule. Our care includes replacing the belt or chain, tensioners, idlers, and often the water pump while we have access. We carefully time the engine using official marks and locking tools to guarantee perfect valve timing. This preventative maintenance is one of the most important cares you can do to protect your investment and avoid a staggering fix bill.

Is your engine lacking power, using oil, or running rough? We can diagnose and restore its performance. Common repairs include valve adjustments, compression testing, replacing worn piston rings, or cleaning carbon-clogged intake systems. For older vehicles, we can perform carburetor rebuilds or ignition tune-ups to bring back that smooth, powerful feel. Our goal is to return your engine to its peak operating condition, providing you with consistent transportation and driving enjoyment for years to come.
