  • Overheating, coolant loss, white/blue/black exhaust smoke
  • Poor fuel economy, lack of power, hard starting
  • Ticking/knocking noises, low oil pressure warnings

Engine Repairs We Perform

  • Ignition & Fuel: coils, plugs, injectors, HPFP/LPFP, MAF/MAP, O2/AFR sensors
  • Air & Vacuum: intake & vacuum leaks, PCV systems, throttle bodies, EGR where equipped
  • Cooling: water pumps, thermostats, radiators, fans, head-gasket testing/repair
  • Timing: chains/belts, guides, tensioners, CVVT (variable valve timing) components
  • Lubrication: oil pumps, leaks, seals & gaskets, valve cover & oil pan service

  • Internal Engine: compression & leak-down, cylinder head & valve work
  • Electronics: ECU diagnostics, wiring/connector fault tracing, sensor validation

Kia Engine Notes

  • Theta II 2.4 GDI / 2.0T: oil consumption & bearing noise checks, PCV and knock monitoring—correct oil spec/intervals are critical
  • Smartstream 1.6T / 2.5T (K5/Sorento/Sportage): boost & vacuum leak diagnosis, charge pipe/intercooler integrity, coolant & oil spec for turbo longevity
  • Lambda II 3.8 V6 (Telluride/Sorento trims): timing/chain guide noise checks, cooling system service, valve cover/timing cover reseals

Our Engine Repair Process

  • 1) Digital Diagnostics: full-system scan, live-data, freeze-frame analysis
  • 2) Mechanical Tests: smoke test, fuel pressure/volume, compression & leak-down
  • 3) Root-Cause Confirmation: component testing before parts replacement
  • 4) Estimate: OEM-quality parts & clear labor options
  • 5) Repair: factory procedures & torque values
  • 6) Validation: road test, relearns, and post-repair scan with report

Owner Tips

  • Use the correct oil spec/viscosity and change on time—key for T-GDI & Smartstream engines
  • Fix coolant and oil leaks early to protect timing components and bearings
  • Replace spark plugs/filters per interval; address misfires promptly
  • Consider periodic intake valve cleaning on GDI engines

FAQs

Repair or replace my engine?

We’ll compare targeted repair, a low-mileage used engine, or a rebuild based on mileage, condition, and value—with transparent pricing.

Can I keep driving with the Check Engine Light on?

If it’s flashing, stop and call us. A steady light indicates a stored fault—diagnose soon to avoid collateral damage.
