Experts in all types of engine repairs
It’s important to get any problems with your engine fixed as quickly as possible to prevent a complete engine failure. At Traffic Motor Company, we have over 20 years of experience in engine repairs, replacements, and overhauls. Our skilled technicians will diagnose any problems and advise you on the most cost-effective solution. We only ever advise full engine replacements when repairing or reconditioning your engine is uneconomical. Any parts we use for repairs are of the highest quality and fully guaranteed. Call us today for engine repairs, diagnostic testing, or a full vehicle service.

COMPREHENSIVE ENGINE CHECKS AND REPAIRS
When you bring your vehicle to our garage, we will carry out thorough checks, repairs, or part replacements to ensure your car is safe to drive. Our engine services include:
IDENTIFICATION OF COMMON ENGINE ISSUES
We will check for:
· Low engine oil or fuel levels
· Radiator leaks
· Oil deposits
· Overheating
· Cooling fan faults
· Air compression
· Spark plug wear
ENGINE RECONDITIONING
Reconditioning your engine is the best way to enhance its performance, unlock its full potential, and extend its lifespan. Engine reconditioning can include anything from a full rebuild to a service.
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS
If your car’s engine light is on or you’ve experienced repeated stalling or difficulty starting, we’ll complete diagnostic testing to identify the cause of any issues.
FAULTY PART REPLACEMENTS
We ensure that every replacement part we use is of the highest quality. While inferior parts may lead to cheaper repair costs, they often cause further problems down the line. When you visit us, you're guaranteed a quality repair service.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU IGNORE ENGINE WARNING SIGNS
A warning light on your dashboard is your engine asking for help. Ignore it, and the ask gets bigger.
Most faults start with small issues, such as a loose sensor or early cambelt issues. Left alone, a £40 sensor problem can turn into a seized engine and a full rebuild costing thousands.
Putting off a check can also lead to:
-
Higher fuel consumption as the engine works harder to compensate
-
Sudden breakdowns, often at the worst possible moment
-
Overheating caused by cooling fan faults or radiator leaks
-
Damage spreading to the gearbox or cooling system
-
A repair bill that climbs the longer the fault sits
Some drivers wait because the car "still starts fine." That's exactly the problem. Engines rarely fail all at once. They wear down gradually, and a light staying on is usually the only warning you get before something breaks properly. That's the real cost of putting off engine repairs: not just the parts, but everything connected to them.
At Traffic Motor Company, we'd rather catch a fault early than rebuild an engine later.
