Auto Repair
Misfires, knocking, leaks or smoke? Our ASE-certified techs find the cause, show you photos and videos of what we found, and only do the work you approve.
Engine repair covers everything from a misfire or an oil leak to internal work on a worn engine. The first step is finding the cause, because the same symptom can come from very different problems.
Blue smoke usually means the engine is burning oil. Thick white smoke with a sweet smell often means coolant is getting into the engine. Black smoke usually means it's running rich, burning too much fuel.
We start with computer diagnostics, then test the parts the codes and symptoms point to. Then you get photos and videos of what we found and a clear estimate. Nothing gets done until you approve it. If an engine is too far gone to repair, we'll show you why and talk through engine replacement.
Our ASE-certified technicians work on foreign and American-made engines, gas and diesel, and most repairs carry our 36 month, 36,000 mile nationwide warranty through TechNet.
Recent work
Kemah · October 2026 · From our shop records
All three motor mounts were worn and sagging or torn, so we replaced the side engine mount, the torque strut mount and the transmission mount. A driver brought their vehicle into our Kemah shop at 84,000 miles because it vibrated while idling.

2019 Chevrolet Tahoe · Oct 2026
On this 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, oil leaked from the valve cover and the oil pan, so we replaced the valve cover gasket and the oil pan with its gasket.
Often spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors or a vacuum leak.
Ticking can be low oil or valvetrain wear. A deep knock can mean internal wear and shouldn't wait.
Blue, white or black smoke each point to something different: oil, coolant or fuel.
Can come from a leak, the water pump, the radiator, the thermostat or a head gasket. Stop driving if the gauge hits the red.
Can be fuel delivery, ignition, a clogged catalytic converter or a sensor problem.

“My KIA spun bearings and they delt with my and fought my warranty company for me that was trying to screw me over. Replaced my motor and was fantastic to deal with.”
“I went here a few days ago for some outside advice about some work another shop did on my car and Steve may have saved my life, literally. I asked him to look at my engine cause it was just charged and didn't seem right and was making a ton of noise and vibrating a lot and he helped me figure out that the new engine wasn't properly places and bolted down. I'll be taking my car here if I need anything else done.”
“I took my Jeep here for some engine work and had a great experience. The team here was great with communicating the issue and process to me to make sure I understood and took care of the job quickly. I will definitely bring my vehicle back here for any future needs.”
