Engine rebuilds in Newbury
When an engine is worn or damaged, a rebuild can be the difference between scrapping a good car and keeping it for years. We diagnose first, and tell you straight whether a rebuild, a repair or a replacement engine makes most sense.
Signs of serious engine trouble
- Knocking or rattling from the engine
- Blue or white smoke from the exhaust
- Using a lot of oil between services
- Oil and coolant mixing, or constant overheating
- A big loss of power or compression
What a rebuild involves
- Diagnosis and a clear quote before the engine comes apart
- Strip down and inspection of every moving part
- Worn parts replaced and the engine reassembled to specification
- Refit, fresh oil and coolant, and a careful road test
Book it in
Call the workshop, tell us the car and what it is doing, and we will find a day that suits. You get a quote before any work starts.
Questions we get asked
Is a rebuild worth it?
It depends on the car's value and condition, and what has failed. We give you the options with costs side by side, including when it is not worth doing.
How long does an engine rebuild take?
Longer than most repairs, and it depends on parts availability and what we find inside. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote and keep you updated.
Should I keep driving if the engine is knocking?
No. A heavy knock can turn a repairable engine into a wrecked one very quickly. Stop, and call us.
