Motorworks Engine Center

I was referred to Motorworks by my mechanic when I needed a new engine installed. What was a very unfortunate situation was made better with the help of Doug and his team. Doug communicated with me flawlessly and answered any and every question I may have had about a fix I knew very little about. Like I told Doug, I hope to never have to see him again under these same circumstances, but if you find yourself needing a new engine, this place is where you need to go!

I had my 2001 Honda Civic’s D17A1 engine completely rebuilt at Motorworks after it started exhibiting occasional overheating and stalling at around 200,000 miles. Gary and Doug were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in walking me through the process and finding the best options for me. I ended up opting for a complete rebuild. Although it was an expensive job (as expected for such a major repair), Doug and Gary were both transparent and fair with the pricing. I was appreciative of the fact they did their due diligence and replaced worn out accessory parts while not having me waste money replacing parts with a lot of operating life left. 10,000 miles later, the rebuilt engine is still running quiet and smooth. Feels like a new car. They even diagnosed and corrected a preexisting, pesky long-cranking/non-starting issue which turned out to be a crankshaft sensor. Although there have been two minor oil leaks since (not uncommon in such a comprehensive rebuild), the team at their shop proactively repaired them free of charge under warranty. While the automatic transmission started failing two days after the rebuild, I do not believe that this was connected to the engine rebuild and was inevitable based on the age (and notorious unreliability) of this transmission model. This was essentially a non-issue for me as I had banked on replacing the transmission alongside the engine rebuild. Based on the great customer service, work quality and my experience so far, I would highly recommend Motorworks to anyone rebuilding their engine. 5/5.

Messed up the main pulley seal twice and refuse to cover it again after they put it in wrong and brand new motor leaks oil. Also bent steering column shaft when putting new motor in.

So far my experience with Motorworks has been clear and concise. They worked it out for me to get my truck back quicker than expected and not only that given it new life. With the new engine I’m hoping to get another 250k miles out of it. Thank you to Doug & Gary for helping me get the exact match for it.

It has been a year since my Hyundai Tucson engine was replaced at Motorworks. I could not have been happier with Gary and the staff throughout the entire process. They are professional, knowledgeable and above all courteous and respectful. Thank you to Gary and Motorworks for giving my car a new life.
