Engine Replacement
Major engine work, managed end to end - across Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Portishead, Nailsea and the wider North Somerset area.
Overview
What this covers.
When an engine has failed beyond economic repair, a replacement engine can return the car to years of dependable service for a fraction of the cost of replacement motoring. It is a big job, and it deserves a workshop that manages every step with total transparency.
We start with a frank assessment: whether the car justifies the work, what the realistic options are, and what the complete cost will be. If we proceed, you get a correctly sourced engine, installation to manufacturer procedures, and full commissioning - fluids, timing, updates and road testing - before the car comes back to you.
Signs you need this
- Catastrophic internal engine failure or severe overheating damage
- Major oil loss or coolant contamination of the engine
- An engine diagnosis shows terminal low compression or bearing failure

Common questions
Before you book.
Is engine replacement worth it?
Often, yes - especially on cars that are otherwise sound. We will give you an honest assessment of your car's value against the cost of the work before you commit to anything.
Where does the replacement engine come from?
We source from reputable engine suppliers, and we will tell you exactly what is being fitted - its type, condition and origin - before work begins.
What is involved besides the engine itself?
Ancillaries, belts, fluids, mounts and often the cooling system are addressed at the same time so the new engine starts life in the best possible condition.
