ENGINE REPAIR & REBUILDS IN KANSAS CITY, KS

Engine work is where experience matters most. Vestal Automotive handles timing belt and timing chain service, head gasket replacement, valve cover and oil pan leaks, water pumps and thermostats, cooling system repair, oil pumps and rear main seals, and complete engine rebuilds or replacements.

Before quoting major engine work we diagnose properly — compression and leak-down testing, cooling system pressure testing, and block testing for combustion gases in the coolant. Major engine repair is a serious expense, and you deserve to know the engine is worth the money before you spend it.

When a repair no longer makes financial sense, we say so. We'll lay the honest options out side by side: repair, remanufactured long block, a used engine with a warranty, or putting the money toward a different vehicle. We would rather give you a straight answer than sell you a rebuild on a car that isn't worth one.

Overheating, blue or white exhaust smoke, knocking under load, coolant disappearing with no visible leak, or oil that looks like a milkshake all point to internal engine trouble. Stop driving it and call (913) 287-5688 — running an overheating engine is how a $900 repair becomes a $5,000 one.
