Talk through your engine — (303) 529-6712The Decision Matters as Much as the Repair
Engine trouble arrives as a knock, a cloud of smoke, a temperature gauge climbing on a grade or oil where it should not be. The first job is finding out exactly what failed and how far the damage goes, because that decides whether a repair is sensible or a replacement engine is the smarter money.
At Auto Repair Dumont, engine work begins with testing: compression and leak-down, oil and coolant analysis, cooling system pressure tests. Then you get both options on the table, repair and replacement, with prices, so the decision is yours and it is an informed one.
What Engine Work Can Include
Engine repairs range from a gasket to a complete engine. Common jobs include:
Oil leak repair
Valve cover, oil pan and rear main seals are traced with dye and replaced so the drips stop.
Head gasket repair
Coolant loss, white smoke or overheating can mean a failed head gasket. The heads are checked for warping before reassembly.
Timing components
Worn chains, guides, tensioners and belts are replaced before they jump timing and damage valves.
Cooling-related damage
Overheating on a long climb can warp heads and burn gaskets. Damage is assessed and repaired.
Compression and leak-down testing
Tests that show the condition of rings and valves, so a rebuild is quoted on facts.
Internal repair and rebuild
Bearings, rings, valves and other internal parts repaired when the block and crank are worth saving.
Complete engine replacement
A replacement engine installed when it costs less, or lasts longer, than repairing the original.
Diesel engine work
Head gaskets, injector cups, oil coolers and internal repairs on diesel engines, alongside gasoline ones.
Mounts and accessories
Broken motor mounts and failing accessories are replaced so the engine runs smooth and stays put.
How Engine Repair Works
Find the extent
Testing shows what failed and whether the damage spread. That takes the guessing out of the quote.
Compare repair and replacement
You see both prices side by side, along with the realistic outcome of each.
Do the work, then prove it
The repair or replacement is completed and the engine is run and driven to confirm pressure, temperature and power.
