Engine repair & diagnostics

From a check-engine light to a full rebuild — we find the real cause and fix it right.

Find the cause, not just the code

A check-engine light is a clue, not an answer. Plenty of shops clear the code and hand it back. Mike diagnoses the real problem — then tells you straight what it needs and what it'll cost, before any work starts.

⚠️ Warning signs

  • Check-engine or flashing light
  • Knocking, ticking or rattling
  • Overheating or steam
  • Loss of power or rough idle
  • Burning oil / blue smoke

🔧 What we do

  • Full computer diagnostics & road test
  • Misfire, sensor & timing repairs
  • Head gaskets & cooling-related fixes
  • Oil leaks & seals
  • Rebuilds when it's worth it

✅ The MDC way

  • We diagnose before we quote
  • No surprise charges — we ask first
  • Fix the cause, so it stays fixed
  • Honest "repair vs. replace" advice

Patch job vs. real fix

✕ Code-clear & pray

Light comes back on in a week because nobody found the real cause. You pay again, and the engine keeps wearing.

✓ Diagnosed & done

We trace it to the source — sensor, gasket, timing, whatever it is — fix that, and confirm it on a road test. Done once, done right.

Light on, or a noise you don't like?
