Engine faults rarely arrive without warning. A sudden oil smell, a new vibration, or a "Check Engine" light are all signs that something is wrong within the system. Left unresolved, these minor issues can quickly escalate into expensive mechanical failures.
The "Old Way" involves driving a potentially damaged car to a garage, leaving it for days, and worrying about the final bill. Maxamy Mobile Autocare offers the "Smart Way."
We provide professional engine repairs at your location, covering essential components that fail due to age, wear, or mileage.
We use correct-grade parts and manufacturer-aligned procedures to fix the issue on your driveway, saving you downtime and stress.
Engine problems usually give you clues first. If you notice any of the following symptoms, your engine needs professional attention:
Oil Leaks or Smells: A burning smell while driving or dark patches on your driveway often indicate a failing gasket or sump issue.
Excessive Vibration: Shaking felt through the steering wheel or seat can be caused by failed engine mounts or misfiring cylinders.
Knocking or Ticking Noises: Rhythmic sounds from the engine bay suggesting internal wear, belt pulley issues, or low oil pressure.
Warning Lights: The Amber or Red engine management light appears on the dashboard, signaling a system fault.
Poor Acceleration: The car feels sluggish, hesitates when you press the pedal, or lacks its usual power (Limp Mode).
Unusual Belt Noise: A squealing or chirping sound, particularly when starting the car or turning the steering wheel.
Visible Contamination: A creamy sludge under the oil cap or dark smoke from the exhaust.
We specialise in a focused range of high-frequency, high-impact engine repairs—the components most likely to fail and lead to breakdowns if ignored.
Correct engine timing is essential to safe and efficient operation. The cambelt (timing belt) synchronises internal engine components, and failure can result in severe internal damage, so we carry out cambelt changes in line with manufacturer intervals. We also replace worn crankshaft pulleys that cause vibration, belt noise, or irregular accessory drive operation, and carry out crankshaft repairs where appropriate to address abnormal noises or rotational issues.

We perform engine oil changes using the correct specification oil for your engine, alongside oil filter changes to remove contaminants. Where oil leaks or sealing failures occur at the bottom of the engine, we carry out oil sump repairs and oil sump gasket replacement to restore sealing integrity and prevent dangerous oil loss.

We replace rocker cover gaskets and valve cover gaskets to stop oil leaks from the top of the engine, helping maintain cleanliness, prevent further deterioration, and protect ignition and electrical systems.

We carry out engine mount replacement to reduce excessive vibration, knocking, or drivetrain movement. We also perform drive belt replacement to prevent sudden loss of charging, cooling, or power steering caused by worn or damaged belts.

Engine repairs cover specific, serviceable engine components rather than full engine rebuilds. This includes cambelt changes, crankshaft and crankshaft pulley repairs, engine oil and oil filter changes, oil sump repairs and gasket replacement, rocker and valve cover gasket replacement, camshaft position sensor replacement, engine mount replacement, and drive belt replacement.
Cambelts are replaced at manufacturer-specified mileage or time intervals. Ignoring these intervals can lead to sudden belt failure and serious engine damage. If your vehicle is approaching its recommended service interval or has no clear cambelt history, replacement is strongly advised.
Oil leaks are commonly caused by deteriorated gaskets or seals. Rocker cover and valve cover gaskets often leak from the top of the engine, while oil sump gaskets or sump damage can cause leaks underneath the vehicle. Addressing leaks early helps prevent oil loss and further engine damage.
Yes. Faults such as a failing camshaft position sensor, oil leaks, or timing-related issues can trigger warning lights, misfires, rough running, or hard starting. Correct diagnosis and repair restores accurate engine control and reliable performance.
A worn engine mount can cause excessive vibration, knocking noises, or engine movement when accelerating or changing gear. A failing drive belt may squeal, crack, or suddenly fail, leading to loss of charging, cooling, or power steering. Both issues should be repaired promptly.
Yes. Engine repairs are provided as a mobile service and can be carried out at your home or workplace. This includes most gasket replacements, belt changes, sensor replacements, oil-related repairs, and engine mount replacement, subject to access and vehicle condition.
Yes. Engine issues are diagnosed before repairs are recommended. Many engine symptoms overlap across different components, so proper diagnosis ensures the correct part is repaired or replaced rather than addressing the wrong issue.
Engine repairs do not include full engine rebuilds, internal machining, cylinder head reconditioning, or ECU programming. The service focuses on defined engine components that affect reliability, performance, and oil sealing rather than major internal engine work.
