Engine service covers everything from routine maintenance to major repairs and complete engine replacement. At E1 Auto Care in Arlington, we diagnose and repair all engine problems—misfires, oil leaks, timing chain/belt issues, head gaskets, and more. When repair costs exceed the value of your vehicle, we also perform engine swaps with quality used or remanufactured engines. Texas heat is hard on engines, and stop-and-go traffic on I-20 and I-30 adds stress, so regular maintenance is crucial. Whether your check engine light is on, you're losing power, or your engine is making concerning noises, we'll find out what's wrong and give you honest repair options.

Check engine light on (steady or flashing)

Excessive oil consumption (adding oil between changes)
Knocking, ticking, or grinding noises from engine
Blue smoke from exhaust (burning oil)
White smoke from exhaust (coolant leak—head gasket concern)

“What Can I say about this crew!?Best experience I've ever had at a auto repair shop. No headache what do ever. Went in knowing that I was needing an engine. Manager Adam gave me a price no one else was able to beat! Then the assistant manager Andres kept me updated every step of the way with phone calls and pictures of the process happening. Called me the minute it was ready. Andres even stayed late til I was able to get there ( almost an hour after they closed ) showed me the new engine parts they also installed new on the engine they even washed the car and NOT ONE grease stain in the interior. I'm in complete shock I recommend everyone in the DFW come to this shop!!”

“I’ve been bringing my vehicles to E1 Auto for over 5 years. I’ve had a vehicle practically rebuilt by E1Auto, a vehicle I was ready to practically junk. 2 transmissions, engine, suspension, and multiple maintenance repairs later, to say I’m satisfied with the performance, customer service, & education to automotive understanding would be an understatement! Andrea is SPECIAL!!!”

“I have had all types of services performed by the professionals here at E-1, from brakes to replacing engines. There is no auto shop that I trust more! I will never take my car to the dealership for any type of service again. The team at E-1 are fair and honest and they stand by their work.”
Repairs and services we do with parts we supply are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, on parts and labor. Oil changes, inspections and other basic upkeep aren't covered. If something we fixed isn't right, bring it back.
