What is an engine rebuild?

An engine rebuild is basically when the engine is removed from your vehicle and disassembled so that our technicians can inspect and clean every single component. It means that we can see if any parts are worn or damaged and where we can clean and reuse some components, by doing a detailed inspection, we know which ones are past repair and will need to be replaced.

Once we are confident that all the component parts of the engine are in good working order, we put everything back together using new seals, lubricants and gaskets where necessary.

How do I know if my car needs an engine rebuild?

There are a few signs to look out for which are often symptoms of engine failure, and if you notice any of these, it’s definitely worth getting in touch with our team at S&R Miller so that we can rectify the situation as early as possible.

• Poor fuel economy – if you’ve noticed that you’re having to fill up at the pump more often than before, get in touch with our team at S&R Miller. It may be that all that’s needed is a service, but it’s definitely worth getting it checked out.
• Excessive oil consumption – if your vehicle is using more oil than you’d normally expect, it could be that there’s a leak somewhere in the engine, and this can have disastrous results, so please get in touch with our team.
• Power loss – if you’ve noticed a significant change in how quickly your vehicle gets up to speed, then this is a problem that needs to be addressed before too long, as it could be a sign of imminent engine failure.
• Problems starting your car – there are a whole host of reasons why your car might not be starting, but one of those could be problems with the engine compression, so don’t delay, get in touch with S&R Miller so that we can put your mind at ease.
• Increased amount of exhaust smoke – if you’re seeing an increase in the amount of smoke coming out of your vehicle, it could be that it’s burning its own oil, particularly if the smoke is a dirty blue, black or white.

Keep an eye out for the signs above and if you spot any of them, it’s definitely worth having them looked at by expert technicians such as our team at S&R Miller.
