Keep Your Engine Strong, Reliable & Road-Ready
Your car engine is the heart of your vehicle – responsible for power, performance, and dependability every time you hit the road. But when engine problems arise – like knocking, overheating, oil leaks, or loss of power – they can quickly turn into costly breakdowns. At Three Brothers Auto Repair Service, we specialize in professional engine repair in NJ to restore performance, improve longevity, and keep you driving with confidence. From routine maintenance to complete engine rebuild or replacement, our skilled technicians handle every challenge.
Signs Your Engine Needs Repair
- Check engine light is on or flashing
- Knocking, ticking, or grinding noise from the engine bay
- Loss of power, rough idling, or sudden stall
- Excessive exhaust smoke (blue, white, or black)
- Overheating or fluctuating engine performance
- Oil or coolant leaks under the vehicle
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to severe engine damage and expensive repairs – early diagnostic testing saves time and money.
What Our Car Engine Repair Service Includes
- Full Engine Diagnostic & Inspection
We use advanced tools to scan trouble code, test compression, check timing, and inspect every component to identify the exact issue. Our process covers sensors, air filters, and other parts to ensure vehicle performance remains optimal. - Cylinder Head & Gasket Repairs
We repair cylinder head cracks, blown head gasket, valve failures, and gasket leaks that often cause overheating and reduced fuel efficiency. If piston rings or pistons are worn, we restore compression and prevent further problems. A blown gasket or failure left untreated can quickly lead to overheating. - Timing Belt & Chain Service
We replace worn timing belt or chain to prevent camshaft misalignment, misfires, or catastrophic engine failure. - Oil Leak & Seal Repairs
We locate and repair leaks from valve covers, oil pans, and gaskets. Proper lubrication is essential, so we also check seals and fluid levels. Our team inspects the radiator and cooling system to prevent overheat and keep your engine safe. - Sensor & Fuel System Testing
We check fuel injector and fuel pump performance, handle fuel injector pump repair, and fix fuel pump injection repair problems. Our team also inspects spark plugs, oxygen sensors, and other components that affect combustion, fuel flow, and power delivery. - Final Road Test & Performance Check
After repairs, we perform a complete road test to confirm smooth acceleration, proper idle, and reliability. Our experts ensure your engine is running smoothly before returning your car.
Bring your engine back to life – schedule your expert engine repair in NJ with Three Brothers Auto Repair Service today. With routine maintenance we help extend engine lifespan, prevent future performance issues, and keep your car operating at its optimal level.
