Expert Engine Diagnostics and Repairs

Engine trouble can begin with subtle signs—a strange noise, reduced power, or an unexpected warning light. We specialize in identifying these issues early and resolving them with lasting results. As your trusted engine specialists, we take a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every repair.

Our engine repair services include:

  • Timing chain and timing belt repairs
  • Head gasket replacement
  • Valve cover and oil pan gasket service
  • Spark plug and ignition coil replacements

Our industry-leading 3-year/36,000-mile warranty covers all repairs, which we carry out using quality OEM or higher parts.

When to Seek Engine Repair

Not every engine problem means a full replacement. In many cases, early intervention prevents larger issues and extends your vehicle’s life. Common warning signs that your engine needs service include:

  • The check engine light is on: If you're in Chicago and your dashboard is lit up, we provide complete diagnostics for the check engine light to determine the exact cause.
  • Loss of power or rough idling
  • Knocking, tapping, or ticking noises
  • Visible smoke from the exhaust
  • Oil spots or leaks beneath the engine
  • Poor fuel economy

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to address them promptly. Bring your vehicle to a shop that understands the importance of getting it right the first time.

Engine Replacement Services in Chicago

In some cases, repairs alone may not be sufficient. The most cost-effective and reliable solution may be a complete engine replacement; this may be necessary due to age, extensive damage, or internal failure.

Our engine replacement services include:

  • Complete removal and installation of new or remanufactured engines
  • Long block and short block installations
  • Engine mounts and supporting component replacement
  • Post-installation testing and system calibration

At VFC Engineering, engine replacements are performed with the same care and precision as any other service. We will walk you through your options, provide a clear estimate, and deliver work that lasts.
