We work with trusted suppliers to source high-quality engines that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Our technicians provide a professional and seamless engine replacement process, getting your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.

Engine replacement demands careful attention to detail. We check for compatibility with your car's make and model and help you understand the differences between new, rebuilt, and remanufactured engines.

Timing Belt Replacement Service

Timing belt replacement keeps your engine running smoothly and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Our technicians recommend following your vehicle manufacturer's suggested service intervals.

Regular timing belt inspections help you prevent costly repairs and maintain steady performance on daily drives through the area.

Clear communication is central to our timing belt service. We explain each step, answer questions in straightforward language, and review your options before any work begins. When it's time for a new belt, we use high-quality parts that match your vehicle's original equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I replace my timing belt?

Most vehicles need a new timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but climate and daily driving conditions in Sun Prairie can affect wear. Check your owner's manual for guidance, and consult our technicians for recommendations based on your driving habits.

What signs indicate my engine needs repair?

Common warning signs include strange noises, engine misfires, decreased performance, or the check engine light turning on. If you notice any of these, bring your vehicle in for a professional diagnosis to prevent further damage.

Does the weather in Sun Prairie affect my engine or timing belt?

Yes, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and high summer heat can cause belts and engine parts to wear faster. Staying proactive with maintenance helps your vehicle remain reliable throughout all seasons in Wisconsin.

What is the difference between engine repair and engine replacement? 

Engine repair addresses specific issues like fixing leaks or replacing individual parts (spark plugs, water pump). Engine replacement involves installing a completely new or remanufactured engine, usually when the original engine has suffered catastrophic failure or extensive wear.

How long does an engine repair or timing belt replacement typically take? 

The time varies greatly depending on the specific job. A timing belt replacement can often be done in one day. More complex engine repairs might take several days. We will always provide you with a clear time estimate after our initial diagnosis.
