What is an Engine Rebuild?
An engine rebuild, sometimes called an engine overhaul, is a process where an old engine is refurbished from the block up to make it like “new” again. Engines that are rebuilt are reconditioned by Ace Auto Repair technicians who are certified by the manufacturer to rebuild the motor.
Many people opt for an engine rebuild when it makes more economical sense than buying a new car. An engine overhaul allows you to get double the mileage out of the vehicle that you already own versus buying a new car with a higher price tag.
What is Done to Rebuild an Engine During an Overhaul?
An overhauled engine goes through a process that generally includes machining parts back to factory specifications and replacing important engine components using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
The process of an engine rebuild generally includes but is not limited to:
- Removal of engine: The short block, or lower part of the engine, must be removed from the vehicle by disconnecting all fluid lines, electrical connections, engine bolts and mounts.
- Disassemble & Clean: Once removed, the engine must be taken apart so that components like the block, crankshaft, and other parts can be cleaned to properly assess damage to the engine
- Inspect: Trained technicians look for wear and tear on existing parts
- Repair & Replace: Once the damaged engine parts are determined, the engine parts will either get machined back to the original factory specifications or will be replaced with brand new OEM parts.
- Engine Re-assembly: After being repaired, the engine will be re-installed into the vehicle, everything will be reconnected, and required fluids will be filled.
- Testing of Engine: After the engine is replaced, mechanics will test the cooling system, the ignition, for proper fluid pressure, fluid leaks and more.

As a single lady I feel sometimes I’m not treated fairly. But Ace was very fair in their pricing, quality of work, prompt attention, and prompt service. Ace is my new choice to take my vehicle to in the future and I will refer my friends and family to Ace. Thanks for being great, Ace!

Great service! Told me it may be a worse problem than what it was, that it would be expensive. But when he did the repair it wasn’t as bad as we thought and the price was fair!

I brought my car in for what I thought was the water pump going out. Ace did a diagnostic and found the same and kept me up-to-date on any other additional repair work if needed. My car runs great and they were very professional and friendly. I will definitely see them again and refer all my family and friends.
Jennifer Worthen
21:21 17 Oct 24
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Excellent customer service. Knowledgeable and provided clear and informative diagnostic with pros and cons of each possible repair option.I feel like an intelligent individual, but my knowledge around mechanical/car repair issues is admittedly lacking. My questions were answered in a way I could understand, and I did not feel dismissed or like my concerns were trivial.

20:43 08 Oct 24
They were very friendly and offered to let you see what was going on and they gave you different avenues that you could take if it were possible and let you choose which one you wanted to do which is nice instead of telling you this is what you have to do when there’s probably more options, they actually told the truth and there is a couple options you have !

Ace Auto is trust worthy. They provide good quality work with warranty and were able to get my air conditioner parts covered through my extended warranty, thus saving me a couple thousand dollars. They also rented me a loaner vehicle for $25 dollars a day. I recommend Ace Auto Care to family, friends, and others.

They listened to my concerns and took me seriously, even though they couldn’t replicate the issue my car was having. Their prices were very fair and didn’t try to upsell me on anything. Hard to find an honest mechanic but these guys are great and I’d recommend them to anyone.
Cheyenne White
15:05 30 Aug 24
Always honest and upfront about pricing and issues. Open to diagnosing the issue while allowing you to fix it on your own if you can. They have become our preferred shop
Holly Kingston
15:05 28 Aug 24
I've been looking for an honest mechanic for some time. I took a chance on these guys (they were close to my house) and im glad I did. The service was fast and the work I needed done was less than the quote. I have more work to be done on my car and already have an appointment for it.

I brought in an older model mazda with AC problems for a diagnosis. Zach was very professional and was able to to get to it the same day. After significant time they spent diagnosing, it turns out that the AC issues would be more costly to fix than I'm willing to spend on this older car, but they were honest and up-front with what they believe the problems are. The cost factor is not because they are overcharging- it's just that AC systems are expensive. I would definitely bring my cars here in the future.
Glen Brown

Another great experience at Ace auto, very friendly, wonderful customer service, and my vehicle was returned with the repairs done in a timely manner. Thank you!

Affordable. My husband wanted to do most of the repairs. They agreed to just do the parts he couldn't. We had it back the same day. They have also been super helpful over the phone. This is the second A/C we've had worked on there. Car repairs aren't fun. They are expensive and inconvenient, but this is the best that it gets!

Great customer experience, Zach and his team did an awesome job fixing my AC in a 2012 Honda Civic at a fair price.Even though it was a higher price than other shops quoted- you get what you pay for and I always felt in good hands.Zach was always a straight shooter, welcoming, and courteous.When my Civic wasn't blowing cold air after the initial repair, took it right back in and they got a troublesome O ring replaced quickly.They are upfront, honest, and accommodated the need to get my vehicle back on the road soon as possible with the work required.Plus fixed my serp belt and corrosion on my battery!Thanks guys!Will be coming back for repairs done in the future, highly recommend to anyone

Zack and the staff at Ace Auto Repair are amazing. We are from out of town and had radiator trouble with our van. We had places to go in the Salt Lake Valley and needed to get home to Logan (90 miles north). Ace Auto Care made the time to fit us in, analyze the situation, find replacement parts and provide a honest and competitive price. They also had a loner car that we were able to rent at an affordable price for the day. The repairs were completed by the end of the day. They communicated clearly through the day letting us know the progress of our van. They went above and beyond! I would highly recommend Ace Auto Care for your auto repair needs!

I cannot recommend Ace Auto Repair highly enough. I’ve gone there several times they’ve always done a great job. They have always treated me fairly. I’ve even had the unprecedented experience twice of having a repair cost less than estimated… And they told me… And I actually paid less! Crazy, right? They are not the cheapest, but they are the best, and I’m am a loyal customer.

My mechanic retired so I figured I'd give this place a try. It is really hard to find a knowledgeable and honest mechanic. I was pleasantly surprised with Ace Auto Repair.

Ace Auto has been the best to work with!! My usual mechanic shop closed with COVID. I was extremely hesitant with finding a new mechanic. After a lot of online research and reading the other reviews posted for Ace Auto (and other mechanic shops in the SLC valley) I decided to take my van in to them for a mechanical issue.I agree with the other 5 star reviews. Fair price, clear explanations, easy to work with, no pressure, and honest work. I will continue to take my vehicles here. A great mechanic is worth the drive and cost. Thanks Ace Auto.
Braden Adamson

These guys saved me today. I was having some real issues with some stubborn U-Joints. Called these guys up and they said they’d take a crack at them. They communicated to me with updates on the joints and got it done quickly and effectively. Jake is an awesome guy! Thanks Gentleman!
Carson Christensen
23:16 16 Dec 23
Communicated well. Willing to do what we wanted as well as needed. Fixed a leak that they already fixed in the past for free, to honor their warranty. Was honest in the amount of time it took so they did not over charge us.
