Verified Reviews for Engine Repair

“After hearing some unusual sounds originating from my car's undercarriage before a hwy trip, I thought I'd have Doug take a quick look around. He took it for a test trip and did a quick inspection and made me aware of some issues which need addressing. Ultimately, he said I was safe to proceed. .... no charge.”

James Rohr • Engine Repair at Elmira Service Centre, Elmira

“I’ve had a great experience with Leroy’s Auto Care. Every time I’ve brought my vehicle in, the team has treated me with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. The work is always done properly, and they make the whole process smooth and stress-free.

One thing I especially appreciate is that they consistently provide loaner vehicles while my car is being serviced. That level of convenience makes a huge difference and shows they really care about their customers.

I also want to specifically thank my service advisor, Mike, for always being helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. Great customer service is hard to find, and Mike consistently goes above and beyond. He offers to make me a drink every time I come in. Pro tip, he makes a very good London Fog. I highly recommend Leroy’s Auto Care to anyone looking for trustworthy service.”

Failing head gaskets allowing coolant and oil to mix internally

Engine Repair Tips

Never ignore a flashing Check Engine light—it indicates active damage to the catalytic converter or engine internals
Follow the manufacturer's timing belt replacement interval exactly (usually 100,000 to 160,000 km)
Use the correct grade of engine oil specified in your owner's manual
Monitor your temperature gauge regularly, especially in heavy summer traffic
Address small oil leaks before they become major engine failures
Get a compression test done if your engine has over 200,000 km to assess internal wear

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does engine repair cost in Elmira? +
Minor repairs like spark plugs or sensors cost $150-$500. Head gasket replacement runs $1,500-$3,000. A complete engine rebuild costs $3,000-$6,000+, while a replacement engine with installation ranges from $4,000-$8,000+.
Is it worth rebuilding an engine vs. replacing it? +
If the block and heads are in good condition, a rebuild is often more cost-effective and can result in a like-new engine. If there's severe damage (cracked block, spun bearings), a remanufactured replacement may be more practical.
How long does an engine rebuild take? +
A complete engine rebuild typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on parts availability, machining requirements, and the shop's workload.
What causes a head gasket to fail? +
The most common cause is engine overheating. When the engine exceeds its designed temperature, the head gasket material warps and fails, allowing coolant and oil to mix or leak externally.
