I received a diagnosis from a local garage that my 1997 F150 had lost compression in a cylinder and that a replacement engine was needed. Estimated cost was $5000. I called Jimmy Boyd at Engine Experts based on reviews here and on Yelp and Jimmy said he would give me a second opinion. The result was that the engine needed a coil and plugs. No engine replacement. I was able to pick the truck up in a couple of days ... view moreand it runs great. Plus they washed it for me! Cannot say enough good things about their professionalism and the work the guys did for me. I am now comfortable that I have found a mechanic for my vehicles that will shoot straight and that is smart enough to diagnose the problem the first time. No more "let`s try this and see if that`s the problem". A really good bunch of guys to deal with.

I searched for an engine repair specialist and came across Engine Experts. I immediately liked the content of the web site because it said what I was thinking so I called and scheduled a visit to the shop. I must say that I was, like many other customers on this site, blown away by the processes implemented, the quality assurance practied, and the character of the owner and employees who work there. As I work in p... view morerocess improvement and quality assurance every day, I pick up on those kinds of details and what I saw at Engine Experts gave me an euphoric feeling...like finding the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I jumped in with an engine rebuild just hoping that my instincts were on target...and now I have a car that runs like new and no regrets! It was the most wonderful experience! Not only did Jimmy find an almost new engine with only 2100 miles on it, but the process calls for inspecting and replacing worn parts while the engine is out (with the owner`s approval of course) which is exactly what I wanted to happen! My Honda sounds and rides like a new car! As a busy woman, I`m done with car shops that install substandard parts and use inexperienced technicians to get the job done while making you feel like those sounds are all in your head! I can only thank the universe and the reviews posted here for guiding me to my new Car Daddy!!!! I could go on and on...but I think you get the message.

STOMP The Monster NC can`t thank you enough for working with us to get new tires and brakes for a local cancer patient at a discount. Our STOMP said you did a great job and was most appreciative!!!

On 2/14/2013 I took my car to Engine Experts to be serviced and was completely blown away by the service I received. I had spoken to another mechanic prior to going to see Jimmy and that mechanic had told me it would take at least 3hrs to diagnose the problem. Not only did Jimmy get me in the same day, they were able to have me in and out in about an hour and the problem was fixed. He is a VERY straight forward an... view mored an honest man. As a single mother my time and money are very important and even though it is an hour drive from where I live, I will take my car back to Engine Experts every time it needs service. Great job guys and thank you so very much!!!

I have to start off by saying that I don?ˆ™t take the time to write reviews, good or bad. I just go on my way and either continue to do business with someone or never go back. With that said, Jimmy and his team at Expert Engines were unbelievable. My Jeep Wrangler sat for a month at a very reputable shop in Cary with the final outcome being that I would need to replace the 4.0L motor. I was skeptical and very disappoin... view moreted to say the least so I read a few great reviews about Expert Engines and gave Jimmy a call. We briefly spoke about my issue and he assured me that they would take a look at it and be honest with the diagnosis. I had the Jeep towed there on Tuesday afternoon. I was given a tour of the shop, introduced to everyone on his team and given a description of their standards on quality and honesty. I was already impressed with Jimmy and his team. Jimmy asked Johnny to take a break and look at my Jeep while I was still there to see if he could give a quick diagnosis. Remember, the other shop was telling me that I needed a new motor at 4K plus. They opened the hood, pulled the distributor and found that it was not properly aligned or set correctly. They made a few quick adjustments and he started it up. I was floored at how quickly they found the issue and had my Jeep running again. From there I asked that they check everything out and make sure I was safe to get back on the road. Jimmy and his team did a thorough job of repairing and replacing items that I knew about but wasn?ˆ™t going to worry about. They went ahead and repaired my exhaust leak, transmission mount, my hood latch and more on top of getting it back to perfect running order. I picked it up this afternoon and had the opportunity to meet a few other customers while I was there. Everyone said the same thing about the professionalism and quality workmanship. They are honest, very reasonable with cost considering the level of expertise you receive and professional. The bottom line is that I would recommend these guys to anyone. I can honestly say that I have never received better customer service. They know what they?ˆ™re doing and truly are the experts.

I first discovered the team at Engine Experts when was looking for an engine repair specialist to take on the tedious challenge of removing several corroded exhaust manifold bolts from my truck?ˆ™s aluminum engine block. The corroded manifold bolts were the result of my truck having spent several, salty, winters in New England, and many of these bolts were rusted through to the point that some of the bolt heads were ... view morecompletely missing while the shaft of these bolts were all still buried in the aluminum engine block. Anyhow, several other garages had previously passed on my engine repair job saying that they were not equipped to make this type of engine repair so I was THRILLED when Jimmy at Engine Experts enthusiastically said, ?ˆ?I can fix it for you?ˆ?. As a result of Engine Expert?ˆ™s customer focus, excellent work, and can-do attitude: my truck?ˆ™s engine was repaired for a fraction of the cost of what OTHER shops had quoted me for a total engine replacement. Because of my first experience with Engine Experts, I immediately decided that I would become a repeat customer. Most recently, I asked Jimmy to put an aftermarket clutch in my GT 500, and he said, ?ˆ?Absolutely, we can do it?ˆ?. So even though the name Engine Experts implies a certain auto repair specialty, I would like to point out that Jimmy?ˆ™s team has the knowledge and the equipment to do far more than just engine work. It appears to me that there is no job that is too big or is too small for the team at Engine Experts. So if you are looking for a good, fair, independent, auto mechanic who can handle everything from oil changes to tedious engine jobs, then I will say without hesitation that you should stop by to introduce yourself to Jimmy at Engine Experts.

Words cannot express the gratitude our family feels towards everyone at Engine Experts. From the first visit where you feel you found a family member you didn?ˆ™t know was lost to the comfort of knowing that if they said it was broke then it is and they are not going to try to get anything by you. For anyone who likes to keep a circle of ?ˆ?experts?ˆ? around whether it?ˆ™s doctor, plumber, electrician, etc. you need look n... view moreo further for your mechanic. And this is apparent not just from our interactions with the staff, but in speaking with fellow customers who have attended Engine Experts for double-digit years. Jimmy, Matt and the rest of the crew are wonderful and it is great to know you can take your vehicle(s) to a shop and not have to be on guard or try to read between the lines. Engine Experts will always be ?ˆ?our mechanic?ˆ? and the relief of being able to say that in today?ˆ™s world is outstanding!

I`ve been working with Jimmy for many years. I trust his advice and EVERYTHING he has done was required or would have in the near future. He works with the customer to make sure you get a good product for the price you spend. I can`t think of another place in the area I would take my vehicle to and be satisfied it was fixed, any items needing replacement were identified and the price was reasonable.
