FAQ

Common questions

Is my oil leak worth fixing?

Often, yes. Leaking oil on European engines frequently lands on exhaust parts or rots the serpentine belt and rubber hoses. We'll show you where it's coming from and what it's affecting.

Do you rebuild engines or transmissions?

No. We don't build engines or transmissions in-house. When a build calls for a built engine or transmission, it comes from a specialist builder and we handle the removal, installation and supporting work. For stock engines we'll give you honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
