“My engine shakes at idle”
Ignition, fuel delivery, air leaks and mechanical wear can produce similar shaking. We use engine data and targeted tests to distinguish a misfire from a mount or other vibration.

What problems can engine repair address?
“I keep adding oil between changes”
An external leak and internal oil consumption need different repairs. We inspect for leakage and use additional engine tests when the evidence points inside.
“The engine knocks or loses power”
Knocking can involve oil pressure, combustion or worn components. Stop driving if the oil-pressure warning appears or a severe knock starts; testing comes before a parts recommendation.
What's included in engine repair at Johnny's?
Diagnosis starts with the data — scan tool live values, fuel trims, misfire counters — then moves to hands-on testing such as compression and leak-down when the numbers point at mechanical wear.
Gaskets, timing components, sensors, cooling faults and oil consumption issues are all everyday work here. If the engine is too far gone to repair economically, we will say so and price a rebuild or replacement instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing an older engine?
- Often yes. If the block and heads are healthy, targeted repairs cost far less than a replacement engine. We give you both numbers before you decide.
Can you work on European engines?
- Yes. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other European makes are a specialty at our D Street shop.
How much does engine repair cost?
- The cost depends on your vehicle and the work the inspection supports. Our D Street shop provides a free written estimate before approved repairs begin; an estimate is not a promise that every diagnostic procedure is free.
How long should I allow for engine repair?
- Timing depends on diagnosis, the repair scope and parts availability. Call (760) 241-4253 with your vehicle details so we can discuss scheduling rather than promise a completion time before inspection.
What should I bring when booking engine repair?
- Have your vehicle's year, make, model and mileage ready. Bring service records or an earlier estimate, and describe when the concern started and what makes it change.
