What I do on site and what needs a shop
Cooling, ignition, belts, hoses and many sensor repairs are done on site. Major internal engine work needs a shop, and I tell you honestly when that is the case.
When a shop is the better option
Major internal engine work, timing jobs on some engines and transmission repairs need a shop. I tell you honestly when that’s the case.

FAQ
Questions about engine repair
Is it safe to drive an overheating car?
No. Driving while overheating can damage the engine. Pull over and call.
Can you replace a radiator on site?
On many vehicles, yes. I drain, replace and refill the cooling system where the car is parked.
What does a flashing check-engine light mean?
Usually an active misfire. Reduce driving and get it checked soon to protect the catalytic converter.
