What Our Engine Repair Covers

Engine repair covers everything from one worn part to a full rebuild, and an engine service catches the small faults early. For warning lights and fault codes, our engine diagnostics team scans the car first, so the repair starts from the real cause.

Engine Overhaul

We strip the engine, measure the wear on each part and replace what is worn, usually piston rings, bearings, gaskets, seals and timing parts.

Replacement engine ready for fitting 02 New, used or reconditioned

Engine Replacement

We source a new, used or reconditioned engine to suit your car and budget, then fit it. Parts we don't stock are sourced or special-ordered.

New timing belt, tensioner and idler pulleys ready for fitting 03 Timing belt from QAR 200

Timing Belt, Chain and Drive Belt

A snapped timing belt can bend valves, so follow the interval in your manual; we replace the tensioner and idler pulleys with the belt. Timing chain repair covers the guides and tensioners, which wear too, and a cold-start rattle is the warning. Drive belt replacement matters in the heat, because heat dries out drive belts, and a failed one can stop the AC and charging together.

Fuel injectors removed for testing and cleaning 04 Plugs from QAR 50

Ignition and Fuel System

Worn plugs and failing coils cause misfires, so we test each coil and fit the correct plug, and ignition coil replacement is done only for coils that fail the test. Our fuel injector cleaning Qatar service is machine cleaning and testing, which does what an injector cleaner added to the tank cannot, and faulty injectors are recommended for replacement. A weak fuel pump causes hard starting in hot weather; we test fuel pressure first, and fuel pump replacement follows only if the pressure is low.

Radiator Repair in Qatar and Cooling System Repair

In summer the AC runs almost nonstop, so the cooling system works harder than in cooler countries. A small coolant leak or a sticking thermostat can lead to overheating fast, which is why radiator repair in Qatar is a job to book early.

Our car radiator repair starts with a pressure test to find leaks. A repair is possible for small leaks and damaged tanks, while a blocked or corroded core needs radiator replacement. Whether you ask for a radiator fix or a full replacement, the pressure test comes first. We also check the cap, hoses and fans, because a good radiator can't cool an engine whose fan has failed.

Signs, Leaks and Overheating

01

Signs Your Engine Needs Repair

Knocking or ticking, blue, white or black smoke, a rising temperature gauge or steam, oil or coolant leaks, loss of power or misfires, or higher fuel or oil use.

02

If the Gauge Climbs

Stop driving as soon as it is safe, because an overheating engine can warp the cylinder head. Breakdown recovery runs 24/7 through our partner recovery company, including nights and Fridays, from QAR 120 within Doha, and we confirm the price before the truck is sent.

03

Coolant Leak Repair and Flush

Leaks come from hoses, the radiator, the water pump, the heater core or a head gasket. We pressure test, repair the source and refill with the correct coolant. A coolant flush is also available.

04

Water Pump and Thermostat

A leaking or whining water pump and a thermostat stuck closed both end in overheating. On many engines the pump is driven by the timing belt, so water pump replacement is often done together with the belt.

Repair, Overhaul or Replace?

Option Cost Best fit when
Repair Quoted after diagnosis One failed part, such as a belt, pump, thermostat or injector
Overhaul Quoted after diagnosis High mileage, low compression or oil burning, with a sound block
Replacement (new, used or reconditioned) Quoted after diagnosis A cracked block, or damage that costs more to rebuild

We decide only after diagnosis: compression, oil pressure and the condition of the internal parts. Many overheating and rough-running complaints turn out to be a thermostat, fan or spark plug fault, which costs far less.

Highly recommended! I’m genuinely happy with the quality of work and the service they provided. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my requests. Even though it was just an engine valve cover for my project car, they welcomed the job and gave it the same attention to detail you would expect from a much bigger project. The paintwork was done properly, with no shortcuts, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back for future projects!

☎
Call or WhatsApp +974 3368 6806
Can a car engine be repaired instead of replaced?

A car engine can usually be repaired or overhauled instead of replaced. Replacement makes sense when the block is cracked or the repair costs more than another engine.

What does an engine overhaul include?

An engine overhaul strips the engine, inspects it and replaces worn parts, typically piston rings, bearings, gaskets, seals and timing parts. Valve, cylinder head and machining work are added where needed.

How much does an engine overhaul cost?

Engine overhaul cost depends on the engine size, the damage found and the parts used. A 4-cylinder engine costs less than a V6 or V8, and we quote after diagnosis so the price reflects the engine's real condition.

When should I replace my timing belt?

A timing belt should be replaced at the interval in your owner's manual, or when its history is unknown. A snapped belt can bend valves, so checking early costs less than waiting.

Can a damaged radiator be repaired?

A damaged radiator can often be repaired when the damage is a small leak or a split tank. A badly corroded or blocked core is better replaced. We pressure test first, then quote the repair and the replacement where both apply.

Can I flush my radiator myself?

Flushing a radiator yourself is possible, but coolant is toxic and the system must be bled of air afterwards. We flush and refill with the correct coolant for your car.

Can fuel injectors be cleaned instead of replaced?

Fuel injectors can be cleaned when they are only dirty or partly blocked. We clean and test them on a machine, and injectors that leak, stick or fail electrically are replaced.

Why does my Land Cruiser or Patrol overheat in summer?

Large 4x4s overheat in summer most often because of a failing fan clutch or electric fan, a partly blocked radiator, a leaking hose or water pump, or a sticking thermostat. A pressure test and a fan check usually find the cause quickly.

How long does an engine repair take?

It depends on the job. A timing belt usually takes 4 to 6 hours, so it is a same-day job. A radiator replacement usually takes 2 to 3 hours, a radiator leak repair 1 to 2 days and injector cleaning 1 to 3 hours. A full engine overhaul usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, longer when parts or machine work are needed. Your written quotation states the time.

Can you collect my car for an engine repair?

Yes. If the car still drives, our pick-up and drop-off service covers all of Qatar during working hours, Saturday to Thursday, and costs QAR 50 to 100 inside Doha, QAR 200 to 250 outside Doha and QAR 300 to 350 for far locations. If it cannot be driven, breakdown recovery runs 24/7 through our partner recovery company, including nights and Fridays, from QAR 120 inside Doha. We confirm the price before the truck is sent.
