Experienced Colorado European Engine Repair

When many people look under the hood of their cars, they see a complicated mess they’d rather not go poking around in. When we look under the hood, we see a complicated mess that we’d love to dig our hands into. As Colorado’s premier European auto repair shop, we’ve helped thousands of European auto enthusiasts protect their cars and restore them to their original glory. But European cars can be tricky, and taking it to just any old mechanic for engine repair like oil leak repair, cylinder head repair, and head gasket repair can lead to improper fixes and long-term headaches down the road. But what are some of the most common engine problems, and when is it time to take your car in for an engine repair?

Some of the most common engine problems we fix are:

  • Thermostat Replacement

The Engine Replacement Process

  1. BW Performance will check your engine for signs of wear like increased oil consumption and wear on the piston rings and valve guides.
  2. Next, we run a diagnostics check to measure the compression in your engine’s cylinders and gauge the health of the combustion chambers. 
  3. After checking the health of major engine systems that correlate to specific engine problems you’re having (uneven engine operation, increased noise, etc), BW Performance can determine whether individual repairs are needed or whether a full engine overhaul is required. 
  4. In the event of a full engine overhaul, BW will reuse any parts from the original engine that are in good working order while installing new parts to replace faulty engine elements.
