Engine Repair in Harahan

Common engine problems we work on

• Misfires from spark plugs, ignition coils or injectors
• Oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets and seals
• Coolant leaks and overheating
• Timing belts, timing chains and the water pumps that go with them
• Ticking, tapping or knocking
• Loss of power, hesitation or stalling

Diagnose first

We start with the codes and live data, then test what they point to. With leaks, we track down where it's really coming from. Oil runs downhill, so the drip on your driveway is often a long way from the part that's leaking. Our check engine light page has more on how we diagnose.

Straight talk on big jobs

If the engine needs major work, we'll tell you plainly and give you a free written estimate. We'll also tell you honestly whether we think it's worth putting that money into your car. You decide.

If your temperature gauge is climbing, pull over when it's safe and shut it off. Driving an overheating engine can turn a hose into a head gasket.

Estimates, warranty and financing

Estimates are free, and you get one in writing before any work starts. Qualifying repairs are covered by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, and financing is available for qualifying repairs if the bill is more than you planned on this month.

We work on cars, trucks and SUVs from Harahan, River Ridge, Elmwood, Jefferson and Metairie. Call (504) 737-4096 or book online. See directions and drive times.

Questions we get

Is it safe to drive with a flashing check engine light?

No. A flashing light usually means a bad misfire that can damage the catalytic converter. Get off the road when it's safe and call us.

How do I know if my timing belt is due?

Your owner's manual lists the interval. Many engines use a timing chain instead of a belt. Give us your year, make, model and mileage and we'll check.

Is my older car worth fixing?

It depends on the repair and the car. You'll get a free written estimate and our honest opinion, and you make the call.
