Engine Repair Services in Dubai
At Max Garage, engine repair is one of our core specializations. Modern car engines are complex systems where mechanical, electrical, and electronic components work together under extreme temperatures and pressure. When something goes wrong, guessing is expensive. Our approach to engine repair is diagnostic-led, precise, and focused on restoring long-term reliability—not just clearing warning lights.
We work on petrol and diesel engines across European, Japanese, American, and performance vehicles, handling everything from minor internal faults to complete engine overhauls.
Professional Engine Diagnostics – The First Step
Every engine repair starts with accurate diagnostics. Engine symptoms like overheating, knocking sounds, loss of power, oil consumption, rough idling, or warning lights can have multiple underlying causes. Replacing parts without proper diagnosis often leads to repeat failures.
At Max Garage, we use manufacturer-level diagnostic tools combined with mechanical testing such as compression tests, leak-down tests, oil pressure checks, and cooling system pressure tests. This allows us to pinpoint whether the issue is related to internal engine wear, sensors, fuel delivery, ignition timing, lubrication, or cooling.
Only once the root cause is confirmed do we recommend repairs—clearly explained and cost-justified.
Common Engine Problems We Repair
Engine issues vary widely depending on mileage, driving conditions, maintenance history, and climate. In Dubai, heat and traffic place additional stress on engines. Some of the most common engine repairs we handle include:
Cylinder head gasket failures caused by overheating or coolant loss, which can lead to oil-coolant mixing and severe engine damage if ignored. Timing chain or timing belt issues that result in misfires, rattling noises, or complete engine non-start conditions. Engine oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pans, crank seals, or turbo oil lines that reduce lubrication and risk internal wear. Excessive oil consumption due to worn piston rings or valve stem seals. Engine knocking or ticking caused by bearing wear, low oil pressure, or valve train problems. Overheating issues related to water pumps, thermostats, radiators, or blocked coolant passages.
Each repair is assessed individually to determine whether partial repair or full overhaul is the most sensible option.
Engine Overhaul & Rebuilding
When internal wear is extensive, an engine overhaul may be the most cost-effective long-term solution. Our engine rebuilding service involves complete disassembly, inspection, and precise reassembly using OEM or high-quality equivalent parts.
During an overhaul, we inspect pistons, rings, bearings, crankshafts, camshafts, valves, and cylinder walls. Components are either reconditioned or replaced as required. Critical tolerances are measured, clearances are set correctly, and the engine is rebuilt to factory specifications.
This process restores performance, reduces oil consumption, improves fuel efficiency, and significantly extends engine life—often at a fraction of the cost of a replacement engine.
Turbocharged & Performance Engine Repairs
Turbocharged engines require specialist knowledge. Turbo failures often originate from oil starvation, overheating, or boost control issues rather than the turbo unit alone. We inspect oil supply lines, intercoolers, PCV systems, sensors, and engine software to ensure the full system is healthy.
For performance and high-output engines, we focus on maintaining correct compression, cooling efficiency, and lubrication under load, ensuring reliability without compromising performance.
Transparent Estimates & Warranty-Backed Repairs
Engine repairs can be intimidating without clear information. At Max Garage, we provide transparent estimates, explain the repair scope in simple terms, and discuss alternatives where available. No work is carried out without approval.
All engine repairs are performed by experienced technicians and backed by workmanship warranty, giving you confidence that the repair is done right the first time.
