Can Horeb handle major engine and transmission work?
Yes. Beyond maintenance, we take on full drivetrain repairs: timing chains, head gaskets, engine replacement, transmission replacement, and differential replacement. We diagnose first, explain the options and the cost, and only start once you approve the estimate.
Diagnose, then decide
Big repairs deserve a sure diagnosis. We confirm the failure, then lay out what it takes to fix it, so you can weigh the repair against the value of the car with real numbers.
Covered when it is done
Our repairs carry a 2 year or 24,000 mile nationwide warranty, and financing is available for larger jobs. Ask about both when you get your estimate.
Engine trouble signs
Blue or white smoke from the exhaust. Coolant disappearing with no leak on the ground. Oil that looks milky. An engine that overheats, runs rough, or loses power. A rattle on cold start that fades as it warms up, which can be a stretched timing chain. These are not problems to wait on. Driving on a failing head gasket or timing chain can turn a repair into a full engine replacement.
Transmission and drivetrain signs
Slipping between gears, harsh or late shifts, or the engine revving without the car picking up speed. A whine or hum that changes with speed, often from the differential. Fluid leaks under the middle or rear of the car. A burning smell after a drive. We test the transmission and drivetrain first, because sometimes the fix is a sensor, a solenoid, or a fluid service, not a whole new unit.
Honest about the numbers
Sometimes a big repair is the right call and sometimes the car is not worth it. We tell you which way we would lean and why. You get the diagnosis, the repair options, and the cost for each, in plain words. If a part is fine and only needs cleaning, we say that too. The decision is yours, and nothing starts until you approve the estimate.
Foreign or domestic
We work on cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans from Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, and many more. Work trucks and family cars get the same careful diagnosis and the same warranty. If you are not sure we handle your vehicle, call the shop and ask.
