Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my engine needs to be replaced or just repaired?
We run a full diagnostic and inspect the engine before recommending anything. In many cases a targeted repair — like a head gasket or timing chain — is far more cost-effective than a full replacement. We'll tell you honestly which option makes more sense for your vehicle and budget.
How long does an engine replacement take?
A full engine swap typically takes 2–4 days depending on the vehicle and parts availability. We keep you updated throughout the process and text you photos of the work in progress.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes — domestic and import, cars, trucks, and SUVs. If you have a question about a specific vehicle, call or text us at 832-770-4927.
Is there a warranty on engine work?
Yes. We stand behind our work. Ask us about warranty terms for your specific repair when you bring the vehicle in.
