Heavy Duty Services: Engine Overhaul & Replacement

For the big jobs, take your vehicle to Perez Tire Auto Care! Our expert services are ideal whether you have a late model import or newer domestic vehicle. And because we guarantee the work we perform, you can rest assured you are receiving the highest quality engine overhaul and replacement services in the Louisville, KY area.

Our heavy duty services include:

Cylinder Block
A cylinder block is the powerhouse for the motor vehicle. The solid cast car part houses the cylinders and their components (gaskets, valves, and seals) inside a lubricated and cooled crankcase. Since it is one of the most important parts of your car, the block is designed to be extremely strong and sturdy. Although strong and sturdy, the block is susceptible to failure resulting in a vehicle that won't start. Cracked blocks, porous blocks, core plug, or freeze plug failure are some of the problems facing cylinder blocks. Call 502-614-5129 to talk to the mechanics of Perez Tire Auto Care about your cylinder block problems.

Cylinder Head
A cylinder head is the closed end of a cylinder (located in a car's engine block). It sits above the cylinder block, closing the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber. The cylinder head coordinates airflow in and out of the engine. Since the cylinder head's chief function is to seal the cylinders properly, insufficient compression results in the car being difficult to drive. To have your cylinder head checked and repaired, talk to Perez Tire Auto Care's cylinder head repair and reconditioning specialists today.

Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:

  • Changing the oil & filter
  • Changing the air filter
  • Changing the fuel filter
  • Bleeding the fuel system
  • Draining the water separators
  • Refilling the urea injection system

You can count on the experts at Perez Tire Auto Care to help your diesel engine last a long time.

Engine Maintenance
Any car part manufacturer will tell you that preventive maintenance is critical to the part's lifespan. Like other auto parts, car engines aren't built to last forever. However, you can increase the engine's lifespan by performing regular preventive maintenance. The easiest way to maintain peak performance and fuel economy is to provide regular engine maintenance for your vehicle. To have your engine maintained by experts, visit Perez Tire Auto Care.

Engine Repair
When your vehicle shows any sign of trouble, bring it to Perez Tire Auto Care for full-service engine repair in Louisville, KY. From diagnostic check engine light repair to precision engine part repair, our expert auto mechanics are ready to help you.

Engine Replacement
The engine converts energy into useful mechanical motion. This amazing machine is what keeps your vehicle moving. Although generally reliable, a car engine is susceptible to damage and breakdown. When this happens, do not sit and stress over it. Take action. Take the vehicle to a mechanic for an engine replacement. Bring it to Perez Tire Auto Care. Visit us at 5612 Outer Loop for quality engine replacement services.

Timing Belt
A timing belt is a part of your car's internal combustion engine. The belt synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft rotation so that the engine valves open and close at the correct timings. Also, the belt prevents the piston from striking the valves in an interference engine. A timing belt is a rubber belt that usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a metal roller chain. Most cars we drive now have timing belts instead of timing chains and gears. Although different manufacturers have their recommended mileage, you need to have your car's timing belt checked regularly. To have it checked by experts, contact Perez Tire Auto Care today.

Transmission Flush
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 502-614-5129 or visit Perez Tire Auto Care today - we are transmission experts.

Transmission Maintenance
Any car part manufacturer will tell you that preventive maintenance is critical to the part's lifespan. Like other auto parts, car transmissions aren't built to last forever. However, you can increase the transmission's lifespan by performing regular preventive maintenance. The easiest way to maintain peak performance and fuel economy is to provide regular transmission maintenance for your vehicle. To have your transmission maintained by experts, visit Perez Tire Auto Care.

Transmission Repair
Our services include transmission repair on both manual and automatic transmissions. The first step in getting you back on the road is assessing your transmission to accurately determine the source of the problem. In some cases, we are able to repair your transmission simply with adjustments, replacing external seals, or replacing accessible parts. To have this done by specialists, call 502-614-5129 to talk to the mechanics of Perez Tire Auto Care today.

Transmission Replacement
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and torque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Perez Tire Auto Care in Louisville, KY. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Let me start by saying I could not be more satisfied with the service that I received at Perez Auto (Formerly Exhaust Pro). I had them redo a brake job that had been previously done by another shop that was a complete failure and this other shop wouldn’t even recheck my brakes when I told him something was just not right. So much for using them again for anything. Anyway, when I explained what I needed at Perez., They were more than happy to look at my brakes and try correct any problems, which they did . It turned out that I needed my original calipers and piston assembly replaced that was not done at the previous shop. My truck had over 500,000 miles on it and these were probably the original calipers. Jason, at Perez, couldn’t have been more Professional, if he tried. After he completed the right job, he took it out for a test drive, and felt like something still wasn’t right and went back and rechecked his work again, and found that one of the new calipers was defective, ordered a new one and replaced it, test drove it again, and everything felt OK to him. It has felt completely OK since driven it by me. Jason‘s attention to detail and his expertise was exemplary. I’ll finish by saying that it was worth every penny and driving 30 extra minutes to get to Perez instead of using another shop closer to my home. I have already recommended Perez to some other people, including my son-in-law, who has already had two brake jobs done at Perez and also has been been completely satisfied. I wish I could’ve given them more than five stars, so I guess this testimonial will have to do. Again, thank you Perez for your excellent service. As Arnold Schwarzenegger used to say “ I’ll be back”.
