Comprehensive Engine Care Services

When something feels off with your vehicle, it helps to know you can bring it to one engine repair shop for a complete evaluation. At Christian Brothers Automotive Bixby, we handle day-to-day car engine service, in-depth repairs, and situations where major components may need to be replaced. You do not have to guess which service you need before you arrive.

Every visit for engine concerns begins with a careful conversation about what you are experiencing and a thorough inspection. Our technicians use professional diagnostic tools to check for trouble codes, test components, and confirm what is really happening. We review the results with you, answer questions, and then provide a clear written estimate before moving forward.

If the damage is more serious, such as severe internal wear or failure from overheating, we help you understand when repair is practical and when engine replacement might be worth considering. We talk through mileage, overall vehicle condition, and how long you plan to keep the car so the decision fits your situation, not just the vehicle.

We also work to keep the process as convenient as possible for drivers in Bixby. Many visits can be handled as a same-day drop off, and for larger jobs, we offer a complimentary shuttle so you can get to work, school, or errands while your vehicle stays with our team. Our waiting area is designed to be comfortable if you choose to stay on site during shorter services.

Timing Belt & Head Gasket Service

The timing belt is crucial for keeping your engine's internal parts synchronized. Manufacturers recommend replacement at specific mileage intervals to prevent sudden breakage, which can cause catastrophic damage. If you hear ticking noises or experience difficulty starting, it is vital to have our Bixby team inspect your belt immediately.

Head gasket failures are often caused by overheating, a common risk during hot Bixby summers. A blown gasket can lead to white exhaust smoke, milky oil, or persistent coolant leaks. Our technicians use advanced testing to confirm leaks and perform precise head gasket replacement to protect your engine's long-term health.

Watch for these symptoms and schedule a visit if you notice them:

  • Persistent Overheating: A rising temperature gauge often signals a cooling system failure or a blown head gasket.
  • Unusual Noises: New knocking, rattling, or ticking sounds suggest loose components or worn timing belts inside the engine.
  • Power Loss: Rough running, stalling, or misfires can indicate timing issues or loss of cylinder compression.
  • Fluid Leaks: Oil or coolant puddles appearing under the vehicle often point to failing gaskets or seals.
  • Warning Lights: A check engine light that returns quickly after resetting often indicates a persistent mechanical issue.

Engine Repair & Replacement Options

Hearing your engine needs major work is stressful. We help you decide between repair and replacement by walking you through every option. If problems are specific, like leaks or sensor issues, targeted car engine repair often restores performance cost-effectively while extending your vehicle's life.

Sometimes, engine replacement is the smarter long-term investment for Bixby drivers. If severe damage occurs from overheating or oil starvation, repairs can exceed the cost of a new assembly. We evaluate your vehicle's mileage and condition to recommend the solution that best fits your plans.

We typically discuss replacement versus repair in these situations:

  • Internal Damage: Severe issues caused by running without oil often make replacement more economical than attempting complex repairs.
  • Warped Components: Repeated overheating can warp metal parts, rendering them unfixable and requiring a full engine swap.
  • High Mileage: When multiple major systems fail simultaneously on an older engine, replacement often provides better reliability.
  • Cost Efficiency: If repair costs approach the price of a replacement engine, we recommend the option offering better value.

In every case, we keep the conversation centered on your goals. Whether you want to keep a trusted vehicle on the road for years or plan to upgrade soon, our role is to provide accurate information and clear pricing. We offer recommendations that reflect how we would treat our own family.

Frequently driving your car with little fuel can harm your engine over time because the gasoline at the bottom of your tank is usually the dirtiest. When this part is used for fuel, you run a higher risk of dirt reaching your fuel line and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do you diagnose engine problems?

We begin with a conversation about your symptoms, then perform a visual inspection and computer diagnostics. Our ASE-certified technicians test components as needed to confirm the cause. We then review the results with you, explain options, and provide a written estimate before any repair work starts.

Will you tell me if repair or replacement makes more sense?

Yes, we discuss both options when that choice comes up. We consider mileage, vehicle condition, repair costs, and how long you plan to keep the car. Our recommendations are based on safety and value, and we explain why we suggest repair or engine replacement in your situation.

How long will a major engine work usually take?

The time required depends on the specific repair, parts availability, and your vehicle. Some engine repairs can be completed in a day, while larger projects may take several days. We provide an estimated timeline upfront and keep you updated, and our shuttle service can help with transportation needs.

Is my engine repair covered by a warranty?

Most engine repairs performed at our shop are backed by an industry-leading warranty. The exact coverage depends on the parts and services involved, and we review those details with you before you approve the work. This warranty is one way we show our confidence in our workmanship.

Should I keep driving if my car is overheating?

Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can cause serious engine damage. If it is safe, pull over, turn off the engine, and let it cool. Avoid opening a hot radiator. When you can, contact our team for guidance and to arrange a visit so we can find and address the cause.
