Engine ticking, knocking or metallic noises
A failed Chevrolet engine does not automatically mean you need to replace your car, truck or SUV.
Signature Automotive helps Chevrolet owners determine whether engine repair or complete replacement offers the better long-term value. We replace engines in Chevy trucks, SUVs, cars and vans, including many four-cylinder, V6 and V8 applications.
Call NowHave your Chevrolet professionally inspected if you notice:
Not every warning light or unusual engine noise requires complete replacement. We diagnose the source and extent of the problem before recommending repair or another engine.
Engine ticking, knocking or metallic noises
Low oil pressure
Heavy white or blue exhaust smoke
Excessive oil consumption
Repeated overheating or coolant loss
Severe misfires or loss of power
Low compression
Metal particles in the engine oil
An engine that has seized or will not start
We replace engines in many Chevrolet vehicles, including:
Chevrolet has used different engines across its trucks, SUVs and cars, so the correct replacement must be verified using the vehicle’s year, model, engine configuration and VIN. Call with your VIN to check Chevrolet engine options and availability.
Call NOWCommon Chevrolet engine concerns we inspect include:
Lifter or valvetrain ticking
Excessive oil consumption
Low oil pressure
Engine knocking
Misfires or compression loss
Timing-system problems
Overheating or coolant loss
Some Chevrolet V8 applications have documented service procedures involving collapsed or stuck Active Fuel Management lifters. Certain 2.4L Chevrolet Equinox applications have also been covered by GM guidance related to excessive oil consumption. These concerns apply only to particular engines and model years, so proper diagnosis is essential.
Engine repair may make sense when the problem is limited to one component and the major internal parts remain serviceable.
Engine replacement may provide better value when:
The engine has seized
Multiple cylinders have low compression
Severe overheating caused extensive damage
Bearings, pistons or cylinder walls are damaged
Lifter or valvetrain failure caused major internal damage
Previous engine repairs have failed
Repair costs are approaching replacement cost
For a Chevrolet that is otherwise in good condition, replacing the engine may cost less than buying another dependable vehicle and taking on a new monthly payment.
We inspect the vehicle and confirm the cause and extent of the engine damage.
The correct replacement engine is verified using the VIN, model year and engine configuration.
We explain available engine options, estimated pricing, warranty coverage and expected completion time.
The failed engine is removed and the selected replacement engine is professionally installed.
Before delivery, we inspect related components and check for:
Fluid leaks · Fault codes · Oil pressure · Operating temperature · Engine performance · General drivability
Any additional recommended work is discussed before it is performed.
The cost depends on:
A Silverado, Tahoe, Equinox and Malibu may each require a different engine and installation process.
