Engine Problems We See in Atlanta
Overheating in traffic on I-75/85, oil leaks from tired gaskets, misfires from worn coils, timing chain rattle on startup, a knocking noise under load and loss of power on hills are the most common calls.
Heat is the big enemy. Long idles in summer push cooling systems and oil hard, and small leaks turn into big problems.
What It Costs
Engine repair costs vary more than almost any other job, from a sensor or gasket to major internal work. The mechanic diagnoses first, explains the options and quotes the repair, and tells you plainly if a repair is not worth doing.

Our mechanics cover Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, Grant Park and Ormewood Park, plus the office parks along Peachtree Road and the apartments near the Beltline.
Before the Mechanic Arrives
Note what the engine does and when: a flashing or steady warning light, rough running at idle, hesitation when you pull away, a smell, smoke or a noise. If the light is flashing, keep driving to a minimum until the car is checked.
Engines usually warn you before something expensive fails. Acting on the first warning light or the first change in how the car runs is the cheapest way to deal with it.
How Engine Repair Works
The mechanic reads codes, checks compression where needed, looks for leaks and tests the cooling system. Gaskets, sensors, coils, water pumps, thermostats, belts and many other parts are replaced on site. If a job needs a shop, you are told up front.

Engine Repair Questions
Is it safe to drive with a knocking engine?
No. Knocking can mean low oil or internal damage. Stop driving and have it checked.
Why does my engine overheat in traffic?
A weak cooling fan, low coolant, a stuck thermostat or a failing water pump are the usual causes.
Can you fix oil leaks on site?
Many, including valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets and filter housing seals.
Can you come if the car will not start?
Yes. Many no-start problems are found and fixed where the car is parked, without a tow.
